weeeman27bob Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 When I'm playing the game my friends often ask questions such as: " But you're not controlling the players, how is that fun?" " Isn't watching dots run around the screen boring?" " How do you find this fun?" So how do you explain the enjoyment and delight you get from the game to the uninformed? And why exactly do you find the game so good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhroX Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I dunno. No, really, I dunno. But I can't stop. There's nothing in gaming that can compare to the sheer elation that FM can bring - taking an unfacnied team to the cup, smashing your closest rival, hell, even just surviving sometimes. The only advice I can give, is to tell your friends to try it. Then they'll understand (and you wont have friends cos they'll be too busy playing ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Lopez Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 If you need to explain to friends why FM is enjoyable, I think it's time you got new friends weeeman27bob. They clearly just don't understand you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the--dud Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Just say it's almost like a strategy game eg Civilization, but also a simulation game like all the Tycoon games... But about football management. Your pals (like mine) probably only plays CoD4 and similar FPS games, so they wont understand the pleasures of FM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Looking at your location OP, I'd say it's like a cricket fan trying to explain their game to someone who doesn't get it. Hopey is right - get some real friends (by the way, Rafa Benitez 'thinks you could become friends') Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeeman27bob Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 I do love the way that because my friends don't like FM, I should get new ones. I should point out though, that it's not all my friends. But thanks for the advice so far, I'll make sure I use some of it the next time the questions pop up. Keep it coming!

Kenco Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hmm, good question. Just don't tell them you play it, keep it as your own little guilty pleasure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgie93 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hmm, good question.Just don't tell them you play it, keep it as your own little guilty pleasure. I think they know he plays it, that's why they ask the questions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 You could always describe it how my wife does. She eloquently calls it, "that stupid stick game" (think she is reffering to 3-d), or simply "that bloody game". Pffft, if only she knew! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
