Ozzy38 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I used to do it and be superstitious. One season, I decided to stop it and won the Premiership and Champions League. The lesson is: hovering your cursor does jack. I keep it to the left away from the pitch, under Split View in the menu and above the sliders though, so it's not getting in the way of anything.

CaptainPlanet Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 I've done some serious testing, and have proof that hovering my cursor in the same place makes me win games! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggingForOstrich Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 As soon as I've clicked Play on the match screen, I take my mouse to the bottom corner of the side my team is on (home or away), then vertically to the top corner. I've done this every single version of the game since CM2, and continue to this day. Pathetic really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Shanahan Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I put my pointer over the game ticker usually (floating hand puts my players off in front of goal. Damn you floating hand:mad:), although if it is late and i'm 1-0 down it is anxiously floating over the pause button. Yay curse word that isn't bleeped out!!!!!

celebritykiller Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Haven't done this since CM4 and the 2D pitch (and had done it since first playing CM93) Mind you I've never had much sustained success since CM4 (discounting Diablo), so obviously it wasn't my tactics. Now I have something to perfect while waiting for 9.3, cursor placement! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyssien Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Great thread. I hover mine over the ref. This apparently causes him to allow offside goals for the opposition, but I keep doing this anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neopherus Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I hold the mousepointer firmly towards the opposition goal. It actually seems to help my posession. During penalties for my team, I hold the pointer towards one of the corners of the goal. For penalties against I hold the pointer way up in the stands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipknot67 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I used to hover over the timeline thing at the bottom of the 3d match screen, so I could manually replay goals quickly, however I just signed (Brazillian) Ronaldo for my Celtic team so have started viewing matches while hovering over the tactic screen button for when the inevitable green injury cross appears next to his name so I can sub him off quick:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurkingwithintent Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 This isn't remotely insane compared to the lengths that some people go through.There are people who play the CL music before each european game, and wear a suit on final day (You know who you are!) *lol*. I don't do either of those but I do do some stupid things Like interviewing myself on the toilet.. Anyway my mouse is usually on my other screen, I have 2 monitors so I have the FM game going in one whilst keeping a friend updated on progress via MSN on the other!

B. Stinson Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I always put mine over the Match Controls button at the bottom, then slide it directly down and off the screen. Not really a superstition, though. It's mostly just to avoid having it hovering over the pitch, or any other information. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPass Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I have my player stats on the bottom left of the screen, and have the cursor just below that. I don't like the cursor on the pitch. I've also been doing a variation of this since the very first FM / CM all those years ago. In the early days when playing the game with friends, if we had a fixture against each other, arguments would rage about where the cursor would sit. In the end it was decided that the home side would choose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozie Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I have my cursor hovering over the pause button. The pointer has to be at the centre of the pause and aligned at the top. My superstition started because I allowed a goal in a CL Semi-Final, a huge mistake by my Centreback, while the mouse wasn't hovering there, which led to a loss... THE HORROR!!!

fcunitedfan Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Not related to FM, but related to hovering the cursor. When I first started playing City of Heroes, I used to hover the mouse over one of the female superhoroes breasts that was on the loading screen because I was immature and found it funny... Mine is always in the back of the oppositions net, as encouragement to my team as to where to stick the ball! Back when the first 2D match view came out, I used to shout at the screen and hover my mouse in a ferocious manner over the opponent teams goal lol.

Ohanzee Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Back in CM2, I remember me and a mate used to hover the mouse cursor at the "possession bar" and moving it back and forth to try and push the bar to "our side". Obviously it had no effect, but sometimes it felt like it did. These days I don't hover it anywhere. I usually play windowed and 'tab' to some browser window or movie or something while games play in text-mode. I sometimes get the feeling that the opposition always score the very second I 'tab' back to the game though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
