Miles Jacobson reveals some details on another FM feature

Traditionally, in the run up to the release of a new Football Manager, Miles Jacobson, Studio Director at Sports Interactive, reveals some news about the series' features on his blog. His last blog entry is on the revamped press conferences.

First of all, Miles assured the option of sending an assistant to attend a press conference will be still available in the next release of the game. He also admitted that in last year's release the way conferences were handled had not been as good as it could have.

One of the changes is that answers during press conferences will now be submitted with a single click (previously, the user needed to select an answer from the available answers set and then confirm it).

The new conferences system is now to be more 'clever', as it recognises when the manager rested his player, how fans react to new signings or how important the upcoming match is and then selects the appropriate question/answer sets. The amount of new questions totals to 500.

Miles has revealed a few of his favourities are:
- questions about the club's ex-manager when the manager takes over a club (particularly, if they've been successful),
- questions regarding new signings after they've played for a few matches,
- specific questions for special competitions, like the Community Shield,
- a new press conference following draws for major tournaments if the manager's team is involved with them,
- questions regarding team selection when the manager may be considering rotating and/or resting players.
- signing former players and the reaction that will have around the club and amongst the supporters,
- questions asked when milestones have been reached both by clubs and players,
- a whole host of new Cup-related questions.

So, have the new press conferences picked up your interest? Or will you rather keep sending your assistant to conferences?
