Oh, I played Anstoss 2 to death back then. Simple times. Fun times.

PS: A good example why you should not overdo a morale system.

I've only had the game for a bit over two weeks due to a trial-and-error process of acquisition (did I mention that I hate EA and the whole company should just burn down?) and I have only played FM Touch, because I read that the "full" game is constantly bombarding you with scratching somebody-with-hurt-feeling's butt. But Touch is annoying as well on this. I might have a squad in the low 20's, 21 to 23 players, so just a few spares besides the bench, and somebody's ALWAYS bitching and moaning. I'm trying to rotate guys, but sometimes you're the third-best left wingback and it is what it is!
I haven't even played a top notch team yet. Well, I started one with Lazio, who have 87 players and salaries of a billion, and I barely made it through the preseason there before ending up thoroughly confused. I have a Djurgarden save, which goes so-so, and I have a save (actually my first one) where I started with Bradford City, accidentally got promoted to The Championship, and the wheels fell off completely there. Got canned three quarters of the way through that season, sitting in 23rd. Ended up with Chesterfield, playing out the string as they were out of everything, then as the new season started they lost the first seven League One games. Got canned in a hurry, sitting 22nd after 12 games or so. Could not get another job in England except with Lincoln, 19th in the National League ... and now sinking.
And *everywhere* I go, the board always gives me abysmal squad harmony ratings. What am I supposed to do? Go with 16 guys just to keep the peace? That game does have some strange systems...
My Djurgarden game, too. I play with two DM(C) and one M(C) - sometimes the other way round - and have four players to stick into those three slots. It's impossible to maintain a level of happiness for them to not get somebody bitching.
I don't need OOTP 17's morale system, OOTP 16 and FM 16 are giving me hell enough. In my last OOTP season I brought in a utility infielder whose career was going nowhere, who was not promised anything, due to injuries got 300-ish at-bats, and when the team got healthier complained that he was not a role player. Bull****. Soulless players - best players. That's why Anstoss was great.
