Okay so I have skipped a version and I'm reacclimatising.
My first question is what do I need to change to make the game lighter?
For example, I am not interested in holding recruitment meetings, code of conduct meetings and all the fluff SI seems to constantly add. Is there an "off" setting for some of this stuff like how you can get rid of match previews, tactic briefings and padding like that?

I think you can do a lot of that through the staff responsibilities page. Don't know if you can "automate" everything in your list though as I've still haven't played 21. |

Wouldn't you be better suited to the Touch version Robson ? I'm the same, I can't stand all these new features, pointless in my opinion. Touch cuts out a lot of that stuff, hence why I bought it this year instead of the full version. |

This game is doing my f**king head in. Got to seriously get rid of 90% of the sh*t I'm wading in or its going in the bin.

From all the things I've read about the new features in FM21, I think I will be going back to Touch for this version. Too much body-language bullshit that can backfire for me.

Only problem with Touch is SI don't seem to care about it. Firstly we get no beta, then the game gets delayed without warning and now we are under a week until the supposedly release date with no features announced. I'm half tempted to go back to the Mobile version, been playing the FM21 demo and I'm glad i didn't buy the full version. Everything takes too long. |

Recruitment meetings happen once before each transfer window easiest way to not take part is unfortunatly 2 clicks (attend meeting, then once on the screen, end meeting
code of conduct thing is once a year, one button press with default settings
untick show pre match introduction - as im sure you find that fluffy
delegate all media stuff to another staff member in staff > staff responsibilities > media

no gesture is calm
Thrash arms is Aggressive point finger is Assertive hands together I assume is cautious
hands in pocket I assume is reluctant
hands on hip possibly another calm
pump fists is passionate outstretched arms is just praise (something that wasnt available in fm20 team talks)
I find self pointing or pumping alot, something i personally would never do, cause im expressionless in real life.

Off topic, but your last line had me thinking it'd be great to play as a "Piojo" Herrera kind of manager, just flailing your arms around everything you do and wildly celebrating everything.    |

I'm curious to know if anyone has ever completely delegated things like interviews to their assistant and whether they felt it had any impact...

The only press conference I ever do is the one you get after taking on a new job. I just leave all the other ones to my assistent or I don't bother responding to questions. I don't think it ever held me back.
So far I haven't actually used the gestures either, except for 1 thrown bottle after my team was hot garbage against a crappy team. The recruitment meetings I find to be quite nice, but you can simply skip them with 1 click if you don't like them.

I've got to be honest, I feel sorry for the poor SI developers who have poured months of their lives into coding these new features only for people to say they make precious little difference...! |

I think that's right chaodck u gotta test these things. I just said to my squad. "hello, I'm your new manager, I think we can finish midtable", someone said the bar was being set a bit low and I just kicked the chair through the f**king window. Reaction was stunned looks. Lets see what happens now they know who they're dealing with. |

This has always been my issue with the new 'features' like this. If you can turn them off and not have it negatively affect your game, what's the point in them in the first place? They're added as a selling point, not to enhance the game. |

Yeah this feels true. My players may think I'm an emotionless piece of brick, but it hasn't negatively affected morale at all.

I vaguely remember watching one of Rashidi/Daljit's videos a few years ago and I think he said he almost never bothers with any of the interaction - press conferences, team talks etc. He's just boiled the full game down to tactics, training and recruitment. Coming from someone as prominent as him I thought that was quite a statement. |

Coming from someone as prominent as him I thought that was quite a statement. Recruitment 30% Tactics 30% Reputation & Randomness 20% Morale/Dynamics 20% A few of the gimmicks help the above a tad whereas others don't much at all. Personally I even feel that the detail applied to Training is mostly gloss. Whereas a great shortlist and tactic will go a long way, always has. |

Game doesn't remember preferences. E,g, every time I load I have to reset it to "windowed" and "110% zoom". Another typical under- prepared/tested/approved release by SI, see below. Apologies for moaning, again. but SI's (Release) Approvals and Quality Control continue to shockingly appalling year after year. Be thankful this mob has nothing to do with data privacy or security.  |

Yeah, I always think the key part of training is fitness. The others are just marginal |

One more winge  Not a fan of the icons or emojis for player conditioning and sharpness. Same in regards to the loss of in-match widgets. |

I guess it probably makes a minor difference in terms of how effective they are at coaching, but I don't think it's very noticeable. If money is tight I usually don't bother, since these costs can really add up! |

If money is tight I usually don't bother, since these costs can really add up! Yeah, I'm still fiddling around trying to find a save that grabs me and I hired two foreign coaches. If I'd sent them on language courses it would have taken €60k out of my €80k balance. |

It has to help with gelling and in turn, man management & morale. If there is a language barrier I'd guess one or two attributes - maybe such as man management - are penalised or perhaps won't improve until they have adapted.
