Office
You can't be a complete manager without an office! Of course, you won't
see your desk or the furniture, but that's what your imagination is for!
Anyway, there are many cool things you can control from here. Actually,
I will need to sub-divide this section so nobody can get lost with all the
options available at the office...
Calendar
Ok, the calendar is... ehhh... it's a calendar! You will see the current
month and all the matches you have to face.
If you place the cursor on a match day, you will see the list of matches
for that day, or if you are looking for a past date, you will see all the
results for that specific day.
Navigating through this option can be done with left/right triggers.
Scouting
This option is very useful when trying to bring new players to your squad.
Keep in mind that this option will cost you money, and depending on how
deep you want your scout to search, the more money he will need.
I already stated that the higher the level of the scout staff, the better
results you will get from this option. Here is when you will see if I'm
telling you the truth or not.
Here is how this works:
- Location (where you want to search for players)
- Europe
- Americas
- Africa
- Asia/Oceania
- Position
- Goalkeeper (GK)
- Defender (DEF)
- Midfielder (MID)
- Striker (ATT)
- Duration (how much time the 'expedition' will last)
- Quick survey
- Good scout
- Deep search
After you set this options, the scout will be sent to the location you
specified. The success will depend on more than one factor (scout level,
duration)
When you return from a match, sometimes you will be informed by the scout
of some player that he has found. You will see his stats and bio. You
can either contract this player or take him down, and the scout will keep
looking for another players.
Depending on the level of your scout staff, the players that he will find
will be very similar, probably the only difference will be his nationality
and name. Also don't expect to find unusually high skilled players,
since you are looking for young players, and remember that it takes years
for a player to develop his full potential.
Eventually the scout will return and if you didn't got any player, well,
you just wasted some hard-earned budget!
Staff Upgrades
When you start winning matches and your budget starts to grow, it's time
to think in upgrade some of your upgrade members.
We talked about this before, so this screen is just like a shop, you come,
select the member you want to upgrade and then you just exit. Simple and
easy. No need for long explanations...
Sponsor Details
Did you forgot what was on your sponsor contract? Well, you can come back
to this option anytime you want and you will see your contract again.
Remember that there's no way to sign with another sponsor during the
season, so don't look for that option, becuase you won't find it!
Manager History
Yeah, the years can pass you by so quick... so if you don't remember
exactly which cups have you winned or when did you stayed in a specific
team, you will find all that info here.
Also you can see your own bio here, and how many seasons have you advanced
since you started the game. Really simple...
