AcidBurn Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 My girlfriend liked to play LMA Manager on the xbox 360 but there is no new one out this year so I taught her how to play FM08. This was to keep her occupied while I watched the UEFA cup games last week. Now she keeps asking me if theres any football on telly so she can play FM. Makes a change from her playing the Sims 2 I suppose. What if she gets better than me though? Pointless thread I know but I am a bit bored anyone else taught there girlfriend to play FM? Better still anyone taught them and then regretted it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neji Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 She gets better than you? She shouldn't even be allowed near FM! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She plays as Arsenal for now until she gets the hang of it properly then I will play against her once she isnt as good of a team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodzorr_avfc Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 My missus just thinks I'm playing 'that dot game'. She's good hearted about it all though, as long as I let her play Okami on my PS3 whilst I play FM. None of my close friends like football so its generally an event I watch/play by myself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 My ex-girlfriend used to refer to herself as a 'Football Manager widow'. And she never got the dots. Thought the whole thing was silly. But I didn't like her anyway, so I'm very much better off out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dap1987 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 lol this is a quality thread! my gf sits watching films while i play fm, but shes like most girls and they just dont get it, when i smile or wave my fist because my team has scored a vital goal, she just laughs and says "Its just a game!"

gunnerfan Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 There are days when I come home from work growling and snarling, smoke wafting out of my ears (because corporate life is such an unremitting joy!) and my wife will take one look at me and say, "You need to FM tonight." I guess that's the kind of understanding you evolve after nearly 32 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_1967 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I taught my missus to play, now she loves it although she plays psp version more than pc. I don't think she'll get better than me, and I think she'd admit that. I love the fact she understands my addiction! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was alright, it passed the time when I was on holiday, and I used to play it at college. It was enjoyable although every season, without a shadow of a doubt, I'd lose form for about 8 games. That got quite frustrating. I think I bought Alexandre Pato and played through until he was about 34 on my game, then I went back to the PC version, which is waaaaaay better =] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of the Stevenage Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 My girlfriend refuses to play FM, as she fears she'll get addicted to all the stats! (a weird one, my gf!!) But she knows that all she has to do to get some peace and quiet is say "Go play FM" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
champlodge Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 i only really play fm at my house alone, but i have some awesome news, the gf is ordering a laptop and i've made sure its perfect for fm so i will now be able to say "why don't you watch dawsons creek/neighbours/one tree hill/eastenders/my super sweet 16/shameless/desperate housewives/the oc..etc, etc" with all the tv to be watched ill be able to get in some proper quality time with fm and all i'll have to do is smile at her and give her a kiss everytime i win, she'll think shes in heaven!

My wife says she really likes it for when she's travelling, but prefers pc version as alot of the finer points of the game are missing from psp. Although I guess that's understandable.
