fm12 causing marriage problems

[stevevdm]

I'm trying to contain myself from laughing out loud whilst reading this thread at work! Such nerdy, cheesy replies makes it all more funny!

[LiquidFury]

Have a look what other players are being offered by their 'agents'. You could replace her with a younger, cheaper model.

FM - Where players are touted around by pimps!

[Xechs]

maybe you can convince her instead to join the back room staff, that'll at least get rid of her pimp...crap i mean agent and then you can evaluate her working with youngsters for when you bring in a replacement

[heathxxx]

I must sympathise...

Formerly I was having great problems with an English signing who couldn't settle in Spain. Following considerable personal differences and private chats with her, but assorted disagreements with the agent (mother in law), I decided the best approach for all concerned was a mutual termination of contract.

After some time looking for a replacement, I've managed to acquire an amazing and younger Spanish talent, who really might be the next big thing. Has to be said, the language barrier hasn't proven a problem so far and I'm very impressed by the technique... particularly the agility and jumping.

[CGE97]

You may need to ask your parent club for a loan signing- her head attribute is terrible and her high dribbling means she struggles to swallow as it all spills out. You also need to
stand-off as her bravery is low so she may get nervous, to work around this put yourself on a heavy longshots focus so you can still reach the vaj from distance

[0gris]

This thread delivers.

OP's wife does not

If his mates or anyone asks for comment on the matter, there is only one sensible response:

"I don't wish to focus on individuals right now."

No doubt they'll come back with "her mates will wanna hear a proper answer from you". The appropriate response?

"No comment".

Ahem, Cleon - is FM12 causing you marriage problems? This is your wedding night, isn't it?

I get married in just over 4 and half hours, 11am I get married

[DJ Sir Matthew]

my wife said she is going to leave me because of my addiction to football manager.

i fined her 2 weeks wages and put her on the transfer list.

That's what you get for using the overload strategy too many times

[thegr8anand]

I get married in just over 4 and half hours, 11am I get married

Hehe I can see you coming back to this thread afterwards like the OP

[JR866Gunner]

My wife has an understanding for FM thankfully..she played alongside me on her own laptop until last years version. She says its all too involved and she prefers the old fm 2008 before the old media stuff and team talk madness! I don't give two hoot really as i secretly love the game and its all i ever play.

[raisonar]

Whats her recent form!!
If she is in good form, try offering her to clubs for more than his market value, there could be plenty of takers!!!!

[axehan1]

you need a new Ass man...or woman.....as the case may be?

[LiquidFury]

I think if you're into an ass man, then women are the last thing on your mind...

[davidpop]

It's all Steam's fault.

It is good to see that SI value their costumers.

[Phil930]

No choice but to send your scouts out for a replacement; they'll find you some 5 star talent.

[phnompenhandy]

Well as a very happily married FM addict, let me pass on the secret of a blissful marriage: use the editor to make your wife your chairperson (true: I always do that!)

[phnompenhandy]

It is good to see that SI value their costumers.

Wouldn't mind seeing the new SI costumes .....


Dude, this is humour - good that SI staff are joining in the banter.

[bboy123]

great thread, plenty of laughs. Girlfriend wondering what I am laughing at and I had to quickly close the tab

[Blue_magic]

WOW That is very true

[noikeee]

Set up a friendly encounter away then work into her box.

[rancer890]

Set up a friendly encounter away then work into her box.

Don't forget to get the ball(s) forward and push higher up.

And Take a Breather when all is said and done.

[fabioke]

I have just found a great wonderkid, she is described as the next Angelina Jolie. I will let my girlfriend tutor her, just to increase her cooking and cleaning stats! I just hope that her hidden stats are ok as well.

[LiquidFury]

Leave for a new club. There's bound to be a better club just up the road, where the talent is much more impressive.

[phnompenhandy]

Or get her in the club - then she won't have the time or energy to moan. Plus it will enhance your youth development policy.

[Motherlover]

Tell her she has to work in combination with her mates, rather than doing everything solo.

[SanchezOnTour]

Love this!

[LiquidFury]

Could be an issue with form. She could just be going through a bad period.

[Keyzer Soze]

I think we all need a good scout report of your girl.

[JimbobWWFC]

After some time looking for a replacement, I've managed to acquire an amazing and younger Spanish talent

How much younger? Young enough to be classed as a wonderkid?

[gladman1]

The game actually helped my marriage, my missus was giving me the usual grief about playing FM & i had the vibes that something was gonna kick off, then i remembered how my players reacted to certain situations in the team talks, so i tried the calm approach. I explained that she was very appreciated & that she was a very important part of the team (marriage). She smiled, I thought wow this is working so i went a bit further, we needed the leaky tap fixing so i gave her the "I have faith in you" option, soon she was under the sink with a spanner. Not wanting to push it too far i had a go at "that was a great 1st half performance" this rewarded me with a cuppa & some biscuits as well as a compliment on how nice the skin was i am using. So thank you SI for strengthening my marriage, i can sit in front of the telly now with my feet up playing the game on my laptop knowing we are as solid as a rock! Come to think of it i do fancy a bit of cheese on toast, "hey love, did i tell you that your easily one of my key players right now"?

[phnompenhandy]

How much younger? Young enough to be classed as a wonderkid?

Careful now. If I was Spanish I might look to Paraguay or Venezuela for some talent with 20s in the physicals (and technique).

[Lawlore]

Could be an issue with form. She could just be going through a bad period.

Ok, I laughed.

[Zico10]

Send her to my Physio room, ermm, I've got 20 on miffing attributes

[Adelaidean]

And if all that isn't enough, just use FMRTE and edit the 'Dirtiness' attribute to 20.

And make sure you train her in the PPM "Likes to beat man repeatedly".

[Jessica Jung]

Make sure you pay more attention to your balls if she has high Off The Ball attribute.

[ivo09]

How good is her heading?

[Matorko]

And stamina?

[Mike7077]

And dribbling?

Maybe not..

[elland road boo boys]

Has she asked you for blokes "to pump more balls into her box" ?

[LiquidFury]

Have a boardroom meeting with the in-laws and request an upgrade to the training facilities.

An upgrade to the kitchen would result in a better performance from her, and therefore better sandwiches.

[Mike7077]

Has she asked you for blokes "to pump more balls into her box" ?

Perhaps she prefers them to "work balls into box"?

[TeediuS]

...ask her if she wants you to "move into channels more"

[TeediuS]

or maybe you need training on "tries to play way out of trouble"?

[5legend]

Maybe you should teach her to play in more than one position?

[elland road boo boys]

How does she handle "one on ones"?

[Mike7077]

Is she comfortable with one up front?

[FestyF]

may be she wants to Keep it narrow and play through the middle more?

[Adelaidean]

If you're playing badly, does she "pull you off" at half-time?

[Adelaidean]

May I also suggest a private chat using a "passionate" tone; be careful though, or you might end up with an unexpected youth intake.

[Adelaidean]

Thank you, I'm here all week.

[Mike7077]

May I also suggest a private chat using a "passionate" tone; be careful though, or you might end up with an unexpected youth intake.

Probably best not to get "aggressive".

[Turneep]

Damnit. Ill never read attributes the same again.

[Sheffield Sunday]

Does your wife 'dictate tempo'?

[FestyF]

If she is ambitious, try rewarding her with 'high league and cup bonuses' and her morale will remain 'superb' always.

"Bring me a trophy, wife!"

[Jimmy_Jambo]

How is her "Off the balls" movement? Reaction and reflex speeds?

[Stampler]

go for the Triple!!!

[Sassafras]

The in-game tutorial should have a section how to deal with women/pests.

[Britrock]

I'd suggest starting with a rigid philosophy and moving to a more fluid one later on.

[CMOZZA]

Need to train her "Dwells on ball" ppm....

[JimbobWWFC]

I'd suggest starting with a rigid philosophy and moving to a more fluid one later on.

More fluid? Sounds messy... better deploy a sweeper to tidy things up

[tefal]

hi all, sorry to reopen this old post but i thought i'd share my latest fm marriage problems with you.

the wife is still worried about my addiction to football manager so she arranged a meeting with a marriage guidance councillor. i sent my assistant manager

This thread has been magnificent, but that was the first one that made me actually laugh out loud. Good job, OP.

[dREIS]

one has to wonder if shes tight in the box

[Carmi88]

wasn't worth the bump, *the thread, not the wife*

[Charlesbeams]

Wrong thread

[Smac]

Well, in the league you're playing in I'm sure you can soon get someone better on your staff.

How many stars could she have if she's already "willing to listen to any offers?". Clearly her contract isn't up yet so maybe she's being poached by a sugardaddy?

I think you're going to need to hire an agent to negotiate some better loyalty bonuses next time out.

(How'd I miss this thread, it's brilliant!)

[tefal]

My wife is always having a go. Just yesterday she had a go at me for taking Football Manager far too seriously.

"Leave me alone, I don't have a go at you for watching soaps" I said from my dugout at the bottom of the garden.

[tefal]

It's my son's first school sports day today, and it's the proudest day of my life.

I've finally won the Champion's League on Football Manager. I can't wait till he gets home from school so I can tell him about it.

[nyandoro]

Today is the happiest day of my life. I have a son.























In FM. His name is not Scott as IRL, though...




Keep 'em coming, this is great fun!

[The_Damaja]

It is actually your tactics....

Set her to fluid and you to rigid then work balls into her box and you'll be fine.

[lewis999]

I'd suggest starting with a rigid philosophy and moving to a more fluid one later on.

Hahaha brilliant!

took you 4 months 2 days to come up with THAT! HA

[mike82]

Well I'm glad I found a thread to post my marriage issues. After a lot of complaining about not enough first team action i had had enough.

After holidaying for a year I returned to find my ass man had sold wife, replacing with some young talent and my kitchen sink capacity had been increased by 5 plates! Not bad I'm sure you'll agree!!!!! Was disappointed to see my loyalty to wives stats had dropped though :-(

[Jpr]

I signed a 17 year old youth with lots of potential from Thailand, she didn't get a work permit though and appealing could prove problematic...

So I've loaned her out for £150 an hour.

[sandhams]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Sun newspaper, Jigsaw, a reporter, stated that his wife told him she was leaving because he played too much Footy manager and did not take any notice of her. He told her she was being unprofessional and he would decide if she went or not.



You nicked my joke, I posted this on the 27th November. I am going to report you to FIFA.

[ThereIsNoRealLife]

Check her TEAMWORK rating and I reckon if it's anything above 12, ask her to invite a female friend into proceedings and let the fun and games begin!!

[davegould]

Play her in the hole.

[Anderson's Left Peg]

Does she drop deep to pick up balls? or is she more a Hernan Crespo type to hanging right on the edge but envitable always off side

[marty78]

You can always find another wife but FM is irreplaceable

[offleyhornet]

mutual termination??

[darkfng]

Experimenting with subtle variations to tempo during the game can often lead to a flurry of goals just before the final whistle.

[Soccer]

Play the 4-4-2 formation, with 'balanced' mentality, should help.

wife with 'balanced mentality' - interesting concept !
