Talking to your players + media?

When is OOTP developments going to incorporate the ability to talk to your players, have veterans mentor younger players, talk to the media during press conferences, etc.?

You know, things that make the game feel more alive and more immersive?

Bear in mind that making those systems work in Football Manager keeps a developer occupied full-time. We'll keep adding smaller elements like that - the storylines system in particular will help with that, now that we've got it working - but a full-blown simulation of media management is a very big task and isn't going to happen in the immediate future.
