AbsoluteGenius Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Watching the celebrations after the Champions League final you see people crying. The coach, the players, the fans, they are all overcome by emotion. I wonder if such displays of emotion are ever shown by players of Football Manager. I have felt extreme euphoria or disappointment after winning or losing certain matches, but I don't think I've ever cried. How emotional do you get playing Football Manager? Have you ever cried?

Tanzim Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Never, there is no atmosphere in-game as there is in real life.. most games get hyped up etc where as in FM every match is like a normal match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmarsh Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 remember a network game a few years ago. I'm Juve, the other player were the 2 Milans and the other Parma or Lazio. I lose the champions League semi first leg at home 1-0 to Milan. then go 1-0 down in Milan, but score 2 goals in the last 10 minutes to win on away goals.(we are all on a teamspeak server) I went frickin mental, and nearly cried with emotion. due to playing online with mates, it was quite serious and personal. I am married with kids and they all though I was a bit mental with my reaction to winning. Best feeling ever in FM. I won the Champions League 4 year in a row with that team , but never the Scudetto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezequiel_Lavezzi Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 LOL @ the tough guys who say they are too manly to cry. Everyone cries and it is a natural emotion that in a lot of instances relases endorphins and reduces stress. Saying you have NEVER cried in adult-hood can only mean two things. 1. You are lying or; 2. You are the type of person who gets violent when drunk, can be uptight and generally disliked by people. Typically a person who does not cry to release anger or stress can be quite explosive towards others in a typically negative manner. The moral of the story? Play FM, cry and be happy in life.

.matt Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I've never cried over the game but I get really furious... and really excited. I remember once managing England we were in ET in the WC Semi, and we scored the winner in the 119th min. I jumped up in excitement and accidently turned my computer off. I ended up winning the game again and the WC but I was quite furious at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangaea Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Some people hype matches up themselves e.g. playing the Champions League theme before a European Cup match or Three Lions before an England match in the World Cup. Nothing beats the guy who put on a suit ahead of a FA Cup final (IIRC) Have obviously never cried, but I have been jumping around the room in joy after late turnarounds and such in very important matches. For example when a late goal secured us a draw in the penultimate match of the season, and we got promoted on more goals scored than another team (ie, equal points and equal goal difference).
