michael Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I read in another thread a couple of posts about FM gamers ages and that one guy was wondering if at 39 he had reached the end of the road with FM but then somebody else said that at the age of 64 he was still loving the game. So what player ages do we have on this forum? Also have you managed to keep your game time up through the years. I'm 42 now but way way back on CM2 I was single and still living with my parents, i used to play until about 1am most nights even though I had a 4am alarm call for work. Through the years my game time decreased due to getting married and becoming a homeowner but i would say now my game time is increasing again. My wife doesn't really understand the game but she doesn't really mind if i'm up until midnight playing it. Bless her!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danchinaski Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm 33, and old enough to know better and seriously considering hanging up my FM boots. Like nightclubs and Viz magazine, FM ain't what it used to be, and this is perhaps due to my age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 39, played the original but didn't pick up another copy until CM01/02. Damn game has used up far too many hours of my life & probably too much money as until a few years ago CM/FM was the only PC game I player but I would always have to upgrade my PC so that I could run every league at a decent speed, At least I now play a much broader range of PC titles & is an unexpected positive outcome of the move to Steam only activation although now I have a massive library of games picked up during the seasonal sales & there are too many that have hardly been touched.

Richey2008 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'm 34 and a responsible adult. I've been playing since the early days when I used to leave the house for school, wait till mum left, re-enter the house and play all day when I just didn't fancy double Maths on a Friday afternoon. Luckily I saw the error of my ways and dropped Maths. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'm 42 and have been playing since FM10 was an LMA man before that and many other football manager games before that. FM is pretty much the only game I play now, might have a little dabble with others but only briefly as I see it as using up time that I could be playing FM, can't really see me stopping anytime soon.

mhaffy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 >60 and still enjoying the game. It has certainly come a long way since I started playing when it started as Championship Manager as part of Domark. A marvellous, immersive game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallett1988 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'm 27 and have been playing since CM2. Owned every version on the way through to now and even looking at becoming a researcher for FM17. The Mrs understands my need to relax and zone out so really doesn't moan about me playing (keeps me quiet and out of her hair too). I probably play it just as much now as I ever have done.

Kazza Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I am that 64 year old. Played nearly every iteration and still think the game kicks! What is just as interesting has been the amazing debates and discussions on this forum, heated or otherwise, with FM luminaries from Cleon to www to us mere punters. I remember the great FMBritain debate, over charging for third party bits and pieces, that was heavy. Along with some fantastical tactical and strategical debates and disagreements. This forum used to burn hot at times. May it continue to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
