Superstitions

With FMH2009s release date drawing closer (at a snails pace), I thought I'd ask what are your superstitions are when playing FMH2008 and if they'd continue into the new game.

One of mine is I'd pause it when the opponent has possession and they sound like they'll score.

I turn the screen away, you just have that feeling.

Also, I like to go a bit ott when I score

i dont watch pen shootouts!

I never go to make a sub until I have possession!

i dont talk at all lol

I do that. When the commentary is in the opponents colours for too long, pause it and hopefully it will all go away.

Another one is that i always makes two substitutions at half time and one at 70 minutes. It always has to be like that, unless i get an injury in first half.

Yup, exactly what I do... Half the time they score after unpausing it but still I do it!

i always swap my keepers at half time and only have 2 subs unless a injury

what? why would you do that?

Because he has the mental capacity of a Goldfishes bladder.

Hmm, I always tend to turn the screen away or go somewhere else around my house (kitchen etc) when I am playing an important match. (Cup final, etc.) and would only return for half-time, check the player conditions/ratings, change tactics if it's needed, and then im off to somewhere else and return to see the FT score. I know it's bad managing.. but 90% of the chance I won all my cup finals like that. Lol.

so what happens if you need to make a change xenardo?

i always watch the match on player ratings screen because if i dont i think i will lose lol

yep same here. What is the worst rating you have seen a player have. Ive seen some 3's and 4's but not less than that yet.

I always put the powerbutton in the "hold" position around the 70th minute, because I accidentally did it once an I scored and won by 6-0.

I had a 1 mate! Well, not in my team... I beat er... Andorra (IIRC) 8-0 and there keeper never made a save!

I always seem to make all my subs at half time even in friendlies. I also sometimes start reading a magazine if i'm scared ill lose

I don't believe in superstition. Therefore, I have no FMH superstitions.

Therfore, it was pointless posting

You could say that, but my post count is considerably low . And I've just joined these forums so I may as well let you know what I'm like.

i have 2 major suspicions.

I always buy one person from each continent at the start of a new game.

I never look at the match stats menu until full time, as i associate this with a 31 match losing run as manager of Oxford United.

You're all weird!

yea i dont really have superstitions either bbuullddoogg

but whatever floats their boats.....
