Best Coaching style for a new save?

[LeGm]

New to FM, I do not know the best coaching style and how it will affect a playthrough

[Prej]

What do you mean by "coaching style"?

[LeGm]

When you start a new save and creating/selecting the profile of the coach you want to use there is a "choose coaching style" page that you move bars green and blue bars around.

It might actually be called management style focus, I just do not know how important it can be for a long play through

It really depends on you tbh, how do you want to be known in history, a tactical genius, a good man manager, etc

There is no real answer as IRL every maanger has their own style

Personally i am a motivator, with mental att and def

but i also have multiple saves with different styles also

The green bars have an influence on some technical aspects in the game, eg. Determination governs how effectively you get thing done with your club's board and so on.
You can read about it in the character creation screen when you hover the cursor over the small circle with a question mark in it.

Thank you very much for the help/feedback

Long term I'd say the best ones are the ones on the right (blue), especially man management, motivation and determination as they influence how you deal with people, which is a primary thing you do as a manager.

The green ones on the left are mainly good if you want to roleplay (like say you want to do fitness and set pieces if you are an 80s old school tough guy) or if you want to manage a lower league team and immediately coach well in a particular aspect as it will help you fill in one of the training slots. Maybe you won't have the budget to get coaches so this can help you run training immediately. I tend to put points in mental or tactical since that makes the most sense for me personally if I am the boss man who "leads training".

If you play long term, the attributes will grow naturally depending on how you do in the save so you will end up pretty well rounded. The attributes on the left will grow over time as you lead training in particular ways, whereas the others will grow when you manage to influence people and so on. The ones on the left imo are easier to grow in a targeted way, you just have to keep the same training role over the years.

If all else fails you can recruit best staff/asst manager as possible and make it their responsibility while you learn other bits of the game..
