So was just wondering if anyone else played the new FM with a partner either managing together or multiplayer and how did it go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilSaint Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Played 1 game fifa world cup against missus once. She scored a lucky screamer with Tevez from way outside the area. Never seen anything like it in my fifa days. Haven't played her since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boblardo Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Since my Mrs refers to Football Manager as "Are you having fun playing with your dots" I really cannot see any point in asking to play.

parsdaft1982 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The wife loves her football, even knew the offside rule before i met her, but trying to teach her how to play FM is a nightmare. she prefers the stupid games on FB and i leave her too it, the only time i get peace is when i play FM so im happy.

jamez_b Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My fiancé often gives me the classics: "Are your little men not doing what you tell them to?" "i don't understand why you get so annoyed? it's just a game". "you've been on that game for over an hour, you're obsessed" (An hour?!?! I'm just warming up.) "why have you got a player called Kangaroo?" (Poor Giorgi Karagounis) "i can't believe you get more excited about winning the champions league with Anderlecht than you do about getting married" (First ever Champions League win.) She wanted to me to renounce FM as part of my wedding vows....i laughed. (we are still getting married and FM will very much be part of my life for the foreseeable.) I've got a lot of respect that you are cracking out the CM01/02 disk 3 months into the relationship. Definitely get her on FM 2014, though no doubt she'll end up being better than you. Would be interesting to see a female approach to team talks and press conferences... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
looking busy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My wife doesn't like football, but she indulges my insistence me when there is nothing else on a League 2 match on Sky Sports might be worth watching. In return I don't complain when she wants to watch Keeping up the Kartrashians or Made in Poshville. The same applies to FM, she doesn't mind me spending hours on my laptop as long as I pause every now and again to make cups of tea, or spend time with our son. All give and take, but I seem to get away with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR866Gunner Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 When I started going out with my then GF (now wife) I was playing the likes of FM 2005 and it was the tail end of the year that FM 2006 was set to be released. She saw me really hooked on 05 and wanted to play. I said to her "I would be buying the new one when its released, you can have this copy of 05" She replied stating she intends on buying the new one! So we both had copies and would play side by side on our laptops and it was good to compare results and signings and stuff. This continued throughout 07 and 08. She wasn't too worried by 09 since by then we moved into our first house and I would still find time to squeeze in FM but she would only play occasionally. Her love for FM stopped with FM10 as she tried it but it was really in depth compared to the classics of 06,07 & 08. I dont think it really appealed to her then so if FMC appeared then it may have kept her interested in the franchise. Year on year I continue to show my loyalty to both her and FM but now that we have a 2 year old son she really doesnt have time to play (even pro evo or fifa like we used to) our time is taken up nowadays. She just thinks I'm sad now when I stay up after she goes to bed just so I can steer Swansea clear of a fall from grace in the prem for a second straight year! Oh well, she may not play FM with me anymore but we both watch lots and lots of football on sky sports! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyinuk Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 My missus has been playing FM with me for many years now. At first she was wondering why I am shouting at a bunch of spreadsheets (That was back in CM0102 days) and then she joined in on the network game that I set up. It was coincide with her increased interest in football too. The last two years though her interest faded a bit. Both FM13 and 14 are a bit more time consuming than it was for the network game.
