Press conferences

📰 After every league fixture and at key season checkpoints, you are offered a press conference. The journalist asks 3-5 questions about the recent match, your tactics, individual players, the board relationship or upcoming fixtures. You pick from 3-4 prepared answers per question. Answers carry consequences: fan_satisfaction shifts by ±5 to ±15 per question depending on tone match (defending your players when they had a bad game raises morale; throwing them under the bus tanks dressing-room trust), and a ripple of ±2 to ±8 lands on board_relationships.score, slowly drifting board confidence.

Questions are dynamically generated from context. After a heavy defeat the journalist asks about your future and team selection; after a derby win you get a goading question about your rival; after an injury crisis you get sympathy questions; after a transfer window you get squad-balance questions. There are no "right" answers — only answers that fit your strategy. A demanding board wants assertive, confident managers; a patient board prefers measured, humble ones. Match your answer tone to the audience you are trying to influence.

Working press conferences

Open the press conference invite from your inbox or /game/press-conference when prompted.

Read the question carefully — the modifier in parentheses (e.g. "tone: aggressive") signals what the question is fishing for.

Pick answers that defend your players publicly even when you are angry privately. Dressing-room trust compounds.

When asked about rivals or referees, deflect. Petty answers cost fan_satisfaction without gaining anything.

When asked about the board, never throw them under the bus. Even mild criticism shifts confidence down.

💡Skipping press conferences is allowed but costs a baseline -3 fan_satisfaction per skip. Worth it once or twice when you are tilted, never as a long-term strategy.
