442 is dead Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Exactly as it says on the tin! What is it about this game that makes us coming back year after year after year? I mean I have been doing it every year without fail since 1995. That's nearly half my lifetime, longer than I've known my wife, longer than alot of my friendships. So what is it that brings you back each year? For me it has always been the fantasy of living the dream of bringing my club; AC Milan incidently; to glory. But each year I discover some-else to get me excited. What I've always loved is the ability to customise your experience in almost every way possible. And I'm not just talking about the Database that has been there since almost the beginning. I mean I'm going to finish work tomorrow evening, I'm off for 10 days and I'm going to spend a vast majority of it customising every possible facet of the game I can. from facepacks to kits, skins you name I'm going to do it. And the great thing is I can play the game while I do this. So I ask each of you........Why do we love FM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I play because it's the only time I will see Sunderland and Crewe become champions of Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicz Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I play to see if I can emulate Sir Alex at United (my team incidentally). And then I start another save and try and bring glory to a decent league 1 team/average championship team. I did it with Forest this year and I'm still going.

rinso Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 To try and restore my team to former glory.... Initially for me, it was all about managing my favourite team and winning as much as I could. I must admit though, since finding the forums, I now try the challenges too... Ultimately though, it has to be about restoring Liverpool to their former glory...
