Barkermush Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I have the TV on while i play FM, and sometimes i listen to music. Although i don't really take much notice of the TV[unless some football is on], apart from the odd glances when i'm playing my matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinsinaty Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 TV and surfing the net. But only during 1st half as I can't play in window mode (16" screen) and I need to coach during 2nd half. Sometimes it happens I am busy on the loo too lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pouncer Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Sometimes listen to music, usually just the radio though. I tend to have this place open in the background or bang one out if there's a particularly long processing section, like FA Cup 3rd Round day.

dafuge Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I browse the forums and watch things like SSN or the football/cricket on TV. I think it is the ability to multi task that makes FM really appeal to me, I'm not really too interested in console games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassano99 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Usually listen to my iPod. Depending on my mood I'll stick an album on and let it play through, and I'll browse these forums and a few other football forums. Sometimes I put on SSN in the background if I can't be bothered with music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

looknohands Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Listen to my custom radio station from Pandora while reading through the various articles on Cracked.

Gentleman Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I`ve got 2 PC`s next to each other, so while FM is processing, I usually turn my chair towards the other computer and browse, follow the updates on real football, news and the forum, chatting on MSN/IRC/ICQ. If you load up so many leagues processing takes some time, so I generally have plenty of time to do other stuff besides FM Music is on usually as well and Civilization IV on the opposite side of my desk, where my gf is playing her game on her (better) computer.

dan_lcfc Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Everything thats been listed here basically. Because I loaded WAY to many leagues for what my laptop can handle in game Saturdays take an age to process, so I usually play some of the windows games, solitaire or free cell usually.

RichN987 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I have the TV on in the background and mostly browse the forums. It's probably the forums that prolong the gameplay as I just have to compare my game to others'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony wright Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Obviousally in the minority here but I watch the game in full, to coach, watch how my tactics are working or not, when to make substitutions etc. etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
van_zanten Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I generally have to configure my laptop to run just the basic drivers in order for it to deal with the game relatively timely, so I don't tend to go online when I play FM. I usually stick the radio on and listen to 5 Live or talkSPORT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffy89 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 There's nothing like having the snooker on the bbc in the background and of ocurse the 12-6 SSN stint, alas, no more for my skyless self Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j88_ftm Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 At the moment it's just usually a random Itunes mix in the background, and dip into a book (got one on the go about the origins of the J-League and football's popularity in Japan at the moment - quite an interesting read) when there's a big set of results generating. When I'm not between permanent houses and can get back to my preferred setup, there'll be some sort of TV/Xbox action on the go as well, no doubt. Watching a real football match while playing FM = wintimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james170288 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I love watching a game on the tele whilst playing, but sometimes i'll get confused by the two different scores, thinking when United score irl my United have scored too then wondering why were not winning.
