Mike7077 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 When you're so nervous about an upcoming match that you can't face loading up the game and just spend days wandering round in a nervous stupor until, one day, you find yourself on the ground, being shaken by a stranger and you awake to wonder how you ended up naked in Solihull in just your socks when you've never even been to the place or figured out the way to get there.

anthony130791 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 One time, me and my friend were playing Fm round his. We were playing each other and he had the worlds best regen striker ever, called Gutierrez. I got my strong CB to man mark him. 5 mins later his star striker got injured and had to be taken off. He wasnt happy! When he finds out the his star striker is gna be out for 9 mnths with cruciate ligament damages he actually shouts at me and calls me a cheat! We had an arguement and i left his house. He apologized the next day. And i completely understood and i forgave him because Fm is such a passionate game, i would of done exactly the same thing! Another thing i fdo is try to emulate attacks with my players on pieces of paper when im bored in college! I hate Si! But i love you at the same time!

Heisenberg Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 While watching an international friendly in the pub with your mates, you turn to them and sagely state that the manager should bring on player X if he really wants to turn the game around. Instead of their normal agreement/disagreement, you are met with looks of confusion and one of them asks who player X is. You then list his career, clubs and trophies won, and are halfway through explaining that you nearly signed him in 2014 when you realise you're actually talking about a regen on FM..... Also, I've done a similar thing with Michael Carrick where I tried to convince a friend that Carrick has really improved as a player since his move to Roma......

BamaToon Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but... You put on a full suit and tie for a cup final match, and set up your bedroom to look like an actual dugout. Play the match in full match mode, yelling and cursing as a real manager would. Upon winning said final, you parade around the house with an old bowling trophy pretending it's the actual cup trophy, still wearing your suit and tie. I may or may not have done this in FM06...
