markcox7 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I have a complaint (mainly from my girlfriend). With the recent addition of the 3D match engine, i have become even more involved with FM. Previous years have seen me frustrated at 11 dots appearing to "steal a living" on the field of play that is Football Manager. BUT FM09 is here and now i have real people to be frustrated at. Just as in real life, i will frequently shout at the players, safe in the knowledge that if they can hear me from behind the TV screen, they sure as hell can hear me from behind the laptop screen. So in all this turmoil of activation problems and complaints and even threads on sueing SI, sanity and relationships are still being strained even more so with the addition of 3D match engine. And as far as im concerned, long may it continue (but dont tell the other half) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlo116 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I practically kissed my laptop when i managed to come from 2-0 down to beat Bolton 3-2 with Liverpool! Human-computer relationships? SI might be breaking some kind of law. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may do the same as I love the idea my pic is of me holding the F.A. cup after a tour of wembley, would have been even better if I'd have had my Leeds shirt on!

Ryds Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 When Bristol City won the League Cup, FA Cup, and a couple of months later the Community Shield I made my non-too-enthusiastic wife pretend to be a reporter and read the reporter bits from the post match screen, and I answered using typical manager speak. She thinks I'm completely bonkers naturally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 For my profile pic, i wore a shirt and tie to make me look like a real manager :D . Yeah, sad i know!! I should have done that, instead my manager pic is a hallowean picture of me dressed like a jester with black and white face paint on looking pretty drunk. If I was a player I would be scared if the manager came to work as a jester, not sure if it would make me play better or worse though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I once punched my computer screen when authenticating, but I actually do shout at the screen often and squeeze my thumb in anger. I'm rubbish at FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
