Dimony Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I used to sit it on the Tactics button, but nowadays I'm usually busy opening and closing Widgets recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaderspurs Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Has to be dead center of the score panel-too much the opposiitons way and they get an advantage, too much mine, well it just doesn't sit right. Absolutely insane I know but been that way with CM/FM since as long as I can remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
savio Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I've been doing this for years. It always annoys my brother when I do it and score a late winner against him. I am telling you, there IS a magic pixel, just to the right, and below of the centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pricey85 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Mine lives over the tactics button. I like to leave him there, it's useful for changing tactics. Also the little bugger fears change bless him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainPlanet Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Just to distinguish between the two, hovering to quickly access things is one thing, leaving the mouse cursor in a certain position beacuse you supersticiously believe that if you move it you'll lose is something else!

SmurfDude Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I used to be supersticious like this back in the days of CM. I'd always have to leave my cursor on the left side of the screen under the team name. But now I don't really care where it is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Prime Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 OMG. Glad to find out I'm not the only crazed-up supersticious nut around. Actually, with FM05 I was convinced that if I hover around the club's logo I'd score. And I usually did (learning tactics might've helped ). Since FM07 though I switched to somewhere around the pitch center-circle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George_Spurs Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Across 15 years of CM/FM I have always been a superstitious mouse cursor hoverer, and I know many other people on here as well.Where do you hover your cursor in FM09? Have you found a winning place to hover?! Mine is just to the left or right of the timeline, depending on if I'm home or away. Wierdo.... get a life!

bytheway Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 ^^LMAO Its all part and parcel of the FM bug..(No pun intended) In all FM Games i hover the mouse over the tactics button. CM3 to CM03/04 my favoured spot was on my team name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

studley1984 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 There are people who play the CL music before each european game, and wear a suit on final day *hangs head in shame* On 09 my cursor is always right in the bottom left of the screen. On previous versions this has differed, but there is always a certain place where it has to be!! I also save religiously at stupidly close intervals for some reason. ...and i never watch my teams penalties, i always look away from the screen.

Sky Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I used to hover it over the Pause button, but somewhere along the years i got used to using the spacebar to pause/play, and now i hover it over 'Tactics' By the way mine isn't superstition, more like OCD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downing19 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thank god for this thread, there are others like me, although not completely as i hover mine where noone else has mentioned, before the match has started when the formations and teams are shown i put my mouse between the two teams so that it turns to the arrow and not the mouse and during the match it hovers anywhere in the tree menu thingy on the side of the pitch between where it says post match and match speed.

sishuttleworth Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I hover mine over the middle of my score at the top. So if I'm winning 1-0, I hover it over the central axis of the 1.

Evon Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Mine's usually over the Play/Pause button so I can stop the game to make a change when it gets to certain intervals in the match such as 20/25 mins and 60/65 mins.

Oli90 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 My mouse has to be at the very top of my screen in the very centre.

rougess Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 In FM08 I had a mark on the far left of the screen, which was just above the game speed options. My mouse was over that, so the mark was in the centre of the mouse. In FM09, new laptop, so the mouse rests on the down facing triangle near the "latest" section Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarian Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 During a match I don't care where the cursor is, I use space to pause then do my tactics. When not in a match I like to move the curser really fast in a circle or oval shape around the words processing... or Results when the game is processing.
