dickotheman Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 43 , my son who is 8 also likes playing it, although i have had to edit the team to the team he plays for, put in his mates names and give him a few billion quid. Oh and my son is their star striker with a CA and PA of 200. (he scored 68 goals in Div 1) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

\'Appy \'Ammer Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 This really is a poor attempt at creating another 'it's too hard' bandwagon for the people who frankly belong playing LMA or FIFA.But, by way of contradicting the OP's argument that FM should be dumbed down to suit the teenage demographic, I'm a soon to be 34yr old male in Warsaw or Bristol (varies) who has less and less time to play FM but even then thinks it could have more depth. On the contrary I think if you are of the teenage age group, you have more time to give to the game, as there are less of the pressures and time constraints of going to work, and being the family man. I'm sure if I was a teenager again I'd have spent 3 to 5 hours a day on the game and love it more than I do at present on my one hour a night effort. As someone else said here, it'll probably be 6 months before I get my 1st season done! I love the game but I'm finding my match day experience is just not the same as previous incarnations, this maybe impacting on my enjoyment levels BUT I'm still playing... Oh, for the record, I'm 36, male, 2 kids + wife, and living in N Ireland. Favourite FM/CM was 01/02, probably down to the fact I could spend more time on the game due to my personal circumstances.

nymanr Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 28 and from Helsinki, Finland Been playing CM/FM for a long time now. The game it self getting harder is already making playing the game slower and add all media interaction to it and it's very time consuming to actually get any longterm games. Remember in the previous versions how i had 3-4 campaigns that streched over 30+ years. Those where the days... Now im lucky if i get one that is over 20 years before the next version. This is a factor that has taken some of the "fun" out of the game for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Mongrel Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 35, Married, Kids, Chehire ... Been playing Football Manager since early/mid 1980's on my Acorn Electron ... remember the one anyone - yellow cover with picture of Kevin Toms (inventor on front) ...... played right through my Amiga days .. (Champ Man incarnation) ... and have played every edition of CM/FM ever since. In fact the original Football Manager spawned a rather useless collection of footy management games throughout 80's and 90's for Electron and Spectrum and Amiga ... got hundreds of seemingly homebrew efforts and serious contenders ...... I think people should be grateful for the dedication to detail that has become Football Manager (& Champ Manager if that way inclined) ..... People may gripe and mumble on these forums for perfection, but believe me, from a historical point of view, it doesn't get much better than this.
