Hey,
I'm wondering why players have whole career only their domestic language even if they are trained in foreign country and played there whole life?

It will be great to consider that player can "learn" language according to time he spent in specific country.

Furthermore, language has meaning when you want to sign player in transfer window, it counts to pecentage changes so why it doesn't counts later, when you finally get the player in your club?

Good idea. 

I suggest you amend your typo ... unless, of course, you intend for them to get their language tuition in a brothel. 

Archespor >> péntek március 1 - 15:04

Good point, corrected

@Archespor because all players in this game are Gareth Bale kind of players, no matter how long they live in foreign country, they refuse to learn even basic domestic language.

Nice and very logical suggestion.

I see new buildings coming.

Then there should be new skills for player about his language learning ability which would depend also on nationality- some nations have more problems with learning languages.

Archespor >> vasárnap március 3 - 07:27

@onuelver
Or in general, add two skills which influence player's ability to learn langueage, not strictly connected with nationality because it's too much generalization.
My suggestions:
"Polyglot" - player learns new foreign language twice faster as usual
"Dyslexic" - player has problems with learning languages and acquires it three times slower.

Numpty >> vasárnap március 3 - 08:33

It's a good idea, but there's no need to make it too complicated in a football management game. 

The player acquires a foreign language gradually based on the length of time spent in the foreign country. Although perhaps it could be easier for younger players. 

Would there need to be language levels?

Such as level 1 (basic) acquired after say 1 season, level 2 (intermediate) acquired after 2 seasons and level 3 (fluent) after 4 seasons.

I agree, good suggestion, the new special attributes are also good ones but to be natural attributes, not trainable attributes.

Maybe the normal must be slower than Numpty suggest.

Archespor >> vasárnap március 3 - 17:07

Yeah, I was thinking of natural attributes/skills, not trainable. Imho this wouldn't be too much (or to complicated) for the game. When I was thinking about this whole idea I was reffering to real football where language skills are important, it affects how you adapt to new team, to new environment, how you communicate on the pitch and understand strategy. It's really important.
Moreover, i thought that: if there is something like "language" added to the game, let's give it a meaning and be consequent. Many of us has multinational teams with where everyone speaks other language and it doesn't even matters.

Vincent de Boer >> szerda március 6 - 20:06

I agree that this would be interesting, but only if language mattered more than it does now. Is that something we would want?

Stephen >> szerda március 6 - 21:06

You mean that, ultimately, it would affect the way players performed on the pitch? It would make people think about recruitment differently, certainly.

Numpty >> szerda március 6 - 21:19, Szerkesztve szerda március 6 - 21:20

Personally I wouldn't want language to affect the matches or matter more than it's currently used for during transfers.

So no need to spend a lot of development time making it complicated, but I support the original idea of players acquiring more than one language, solely for the purpose of the transfer market.  

Sir Alex >> szerda március 6 - 21:39, Szerkesztve szerda március 6 - 21:41

Now we have patriotic players, the country already influence the game, it would be great if the language can also influence a bit yes. It is logic. Better a player plays with some guys who talk his langage than in a team with 10/15 different languages.
