FrazT Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 You are never too old- believe me! Consider only giving up if you can find another pastime which will give you as much, consistent entertainment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think about this a lot. I'm 23, and sometimes wonder if I'm getting too old for it. Thing is, I really could see myself playing this game well into the future, providing it keeps getting made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markcator3006 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Im 21 and I reckon that if there are still Football Manager games being made in 20/30 years time i'll probably still be playing them then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaberdeenn Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Aslong as these games are being made and they are still the best on the market then there is no reason to stop. Football is everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMT Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm 32, and enjoy them as much as I did when the 1st one came out, my mate is 34 and he still plays, although our repsective girlfriends find us sad for getting wound up about "dots"...

Snoweel Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I was at a barbecue on Sunday and there were quite a few young lads there (I'm in the army). When we decided to leave my missus remarked that I wanted to go home and play computer games and one of the boys asked what I play. She told him Football Manager and he said 'Oh yeah? My mate's dad plays that.' I'm not yet 32. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliemfc Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 28 here. Been playing since Championship Manager 1 (the one with made up players!) Go through stages of not playing, due to relationships, jobs taking up too much time etc. But always seem to come back and get hooked again for a few months.

Guest Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 just turned 23, maybe i am getting too old for it. its like an addiction, i keep on getting frustrated at dots on a screen and end up being annoyed for a good few hours. then i go back and play some more, i cant expalin it. I do have periods of time where i stop playing and go onto something else, but when i get bored i can always rely on fm08 to be there to pick me up and entertain me for a few weeks. I have to say that fm05-fm06 combined with GTA San Andreas and alcohol ruined my university degree. Ended up getting a third instead of the 2:1 that was expected and easily attainable. I wonder if SI owe me any money for loss of earnings as a result of my poor degree classification. I think its time to quit when i can no longer take Lancaster City from the Conference North Division all the way to 1st in the premier league in seven season. when thats no longer acheivable by me i will know its time to hang up the mouse.
