niktheblade1 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 As the title suggests... I actually bought an FC Basel and an Atletico Madrid shirt from the internet because I fell in love with them whilst playing FM. Also, I have a strange affinity to Fenrando Torres and Sergio Aguero because of my Atletico adventure Anyone else done anything as sad as that? who do you love/hate because of the game?

joeyt Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I really liked Kim Kallstrom in past editions so I like to follow him. I also check Nottingham Forests results as I have been managing them for 2 FM games now.

niktheblade1 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Yeah, I often read the scorecast part of the papers and think, such and such scored... he never did for me, or yeah, he always scores, like I'm an expert on said player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebzilla Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm a huge Nico Kranjcar fan ever since he propelled my Cheltenham team into the Premiership from the depths of League Two. I guess this must have been a few years back now, it was before he moved to Portsmouth. I'll be following the career of Oscar Ustari with interest from now on as well, he's absolutely legendary for my Man Utd team in FM08. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrplos Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 CM/FM is probably the only reason I'm into soccer as much as I am. CM 97/98 and then the CM3 series. I liked soccer before them, but I rarely saw much other than the occasional indoor game on ESPN, the APSL on SportsChannel and the weekly Premier League game SportsChannel showed for a while (which was almost always Man Utd versus whoever, on occasion Arsenal.)

Bongo-Bongo Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I liked Traore because of CM4. He might be one of the most useless defenders ever to walk the earth, but on CM4, he was amazing and even though he was dreadful for Liverpool, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him when he did badly.

NepentheZ Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Love Ben Muirhead - (used to be free transfer, but was at Man U in later games) Carlos Vela - Always turns out amazing Justin Geocelin - Became my fave ever player from CM/FM. In one release he became a superstar striker, gaining England caps and all. IIRC, he's now in jail. Julius Aghahowa - Always cheap, and a very good forward. Signed him for most clubs I managed. Cristiano Ronaldo/Ricardo Quaresma/Thiago Motta - The ultimate trio. From about FM05 onwards, until all three made their big moves, I would always without fail sign all three from Sporting. Quaresma became a phenom in every save, Ronaldo was also amazing, and Motta was a great back up winger. Hate Arjen Robben. He was always a twat in-game, turns out FM had his character spot on. I don't really hate any other players due to FM. Due to real life though, I refuse to buy certain players in FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 As for teams... Love Knockbreda FC - Gundo's Challenge Carshalton FC - Dafuge's Challenge AFC Wimbledon - Dafuge's Challenge Barcelona - Until FM06, My longest ever "save" was a 7 season stint with these Rushden and Diamonds - First club I ever got promoted in the CM series Killyleagh - Gundo's Challenge Malta - A regen I had in a long ass save was Maltese. He became really great, and made me want Malta to do well for his sake. I must say, Since playing in Gundo's / Dafuge's challenge, I have a lot more respect for LL teams. I do have AFC 'Don's shirt now too. (I'm an Arsenal fan). I will DEFINITELY get a Knockbreda Shirt too. Hate Oxford Liverpool Cardiff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grecian_03 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I follow Torino's results IRL now having enjoyed managing them on FM07. That was the most fun I'd ever had managing a team on any CM/FM game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttgammon Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I absolutely despise both Oxford and OFI Crete thanks to FM08.

Klimowicz Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 i was a Barcelona fan since 1992, but since fm05, i've managed Madrid to titles, and i hated Barca beating me so much that i have shelved my barcelona shirts with my name on them. champions league final didn't help matters tbh.

BillyBoi Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 In Cm01/02 (I think) i played as Llanelli In the welsh league and ive supported them ever since. not greatly, but i like watching out for results.

CGSilva5 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I always check the results for teams that I've managed. QPR, Mantova, Rennes and Werder Bremen, but without a doubt the team that I have grown to love the most is Mantova. I never really play the EA FIFA games anymore (ever since I discovered FM), but whenever I go over my cousins house and he wants to challange me, I'll always choose Mantova and usually I'll even beat him (he always picks Arsenal/Lyon/Barce, etc..).

Chas (Psyatika) Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ricardo Vaz Te is my favourite footballer outside of Crystal Palace, and all he had to do was score the winner in the UEFA Cup final for me in FM 2006 (for Palace). Strangely enough, he's at Betis in my current save, and he just scored against me about an hour ago (real time) in the UEFA Cup!

Chas (Psyatika) Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 As for clubs, i've always had a soft spot for Morecambe after managing them in an older version of the game.

deltablue Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 oh yes, I find you do tend to build up an affinity quite often for clubs you manage, at least if it goes well. Braga are perhaps the best example, and to a lesser extent verona, although I'd had a bit of a soft spot for them already thanks to 'a season with verona', one of the reasons (of many) why when I lost my main game and didn't feel particularly motivated to start another they were really the only club I could contemplate chosing to manage. as for players, its interesting getting to know players through FM who I don't really in real life, especially if they end up becoming famous (like Bojan and Anderson) later on. I don't really hate teams or players due to FM, maybe there have been a couple of instances where a particular team seems to cross me quite a lot (or in a way that lives in the memory) but nothing really much that I would remember.

benjawi. Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Gretna. Took them from being the crappest team in Scotland to the best.

sebzilla Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I forgot about Runcorn. Back in CM2 I was sacked as Man Utd manager after finishing 6th in my first season (in my defence, I was seven years old). I then took over newly-promoted Runcorn, and embarked on a fantastic LLaMaing campaign the likes of which I have systematically failed to reproduce over the past eleven years.
