baker.simon Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Before this turns into a sexist debacle of a thread, my mrs sat down with the other night whilst i was playing and tried to understand what it was that i was playing. Needless to say, she failed, but 10/10 for effort shown! I was pleased with her application lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-platt Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 my girlfriend plays my older versions of FM, especially 06. She's quite good at it, does it all herself apart from using a decent tactic I had created. Shame the tactic will not work for me in the later versions of FM, she's probably ended up with more success out of it than me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacman Jones Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 My girlfriend hates football, doesn't play computer games = no chance of playing FM. I think thats a good thing though, although she did buy me FM 09 for xmas she understands the obsession Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The last girlfriend I had didn't understand why I liked Football Manager so much. Despite that, she used to bring me snacks and drinks while I played, which was nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimland Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Don't know but I've been playing football manager games for years, starting out with football director on the C64. I enjoy the type of game, but I get bored to bits after 5 minutes of watching football on the TV. FM is a very complex game with a lot of options and variables to consider, guess I would play a similar game even if it was about something else. I think I manage to enjoy it even more because I don't know what is realistic to expect and how my players really should act so many details that bug others to death I don't really see.

Pacman Jones Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Deleting someone elses save is so fun when you do it, and your guilt free about it. But when its your own, all hell breaks lose (In my case anyway) Used to do it to my brothers because they always friggin started with Man United.

Devilsharck Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Glad my g/f DONT play Fm. When I play FM my g/f now and again keeps asking why I dont take control of her local team Helsingberg, When I reply cos Swedish football is shyte, she tries to debate it and cos she knows F.A about football she always fails. Funny thing is same thing happens to me when I bug her while she plays Warcraft, I end up talking crap about stuff I know nowt about, and fail. Seems perfect as it is, but if we ended up playing the same game together, I reckon we wouldnt last long ;> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micado Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 FM is a very complex game with a lot of options and variables to consider, guess I would play a similar game even if it was about something else. Did you ever try Eastside Hockey Manger (EHM) or Out of the Park Baseball Manager (OOTB) both games also from SI Games (don't think they make them anymore, but you can still download the demo's) My wive doesn't car about PC's at all, she likes football but can't stand to do anything on a PC. If she does anything on a PC it is only when she want to look up something, but 10 minutes maximun, then she is fed up with it. On her work she works with PC but only because there is no alternative and part of her work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Paving Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 My girlfriend tried to understand why I loved the game so much so she watched for a short while.

bawpie Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm another one, but I always give my manager a bloke's name. Don't know why - just, you don't see female managers IRL do you (I mean in the men's game - do you get female football managers in the female teams)? First footie manager game was Player Manager 2 which I loved (especially the tabloid scandals when you saved more than 6 times in a season - I got a lot of those!). Think I progressed to CM from there (via a couple of games on KK's player manager on the Snes - just awful!). Just recently got back into FM after a few years off it. I think I briefly tried 08 but couldn't get into it, usually I find myself playing when my favoured team is doing well irl (Newcastle), strangely now I'm getting solace from it (kind of lost interest in real footie at the minute, unsurprisingly!) although I'm managing Farsley Celtic. Newcastle are doing crap in game aswell. Naturally, my boyfriend hates football and keeps asking me when I'm going to start my next game of 'watching paint dry'. He can't understand why I like playing FM whilst reading a book or playing another game on my wii or 360. Still I just leave him to his FPS obsession and occassionally join him in L4D or HL2: Deathmatch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, Hope Powell has been England manager for 11 years now. Is that because there's so little replacement to choose from or because women are more patient with football?

She hasnt been on it for a couple of weeks as she has been working quite alot of hours. Like Arsenal said she is pretty damn good at it though, I just hope she doesnt get too good.
