wattzy Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Played FM since it was created and CM before that but this is the first game to ruin my life like this one has. Last night my girlfriend came up to me and said 'you're too f**n old to be shouting at a computer screen it's pathetic'. She also said I need to give her more attention because I've spent the last week staring at my laptop. Can someone please explain how this game got through testing without this propping up?!?!

Promote your GF to DoF Please dont , that means she will interfere with all your plans , and have the final say on everything and ruin all you planned. Its basically the role a girl can show her natural talents and ruin everything. That being said my girlfriend crushed 2, and now nearly the 3rd new laptop by "accident" this year. Cant be on purpose and she hates me staring into this box all day. I am a quiet manager though, she can eve watch some Disney films while i play , just cant take trash TV which is 90 % of TV now and sitcoms. Imagining her being DoF i would fist uninstall player faces because she woul buy all the players by the looks. Otherwise i dont know if she looks for Stamina, Determination or pace in a guy . :-D Maybe she is even into special traits , who knows. On the initial topic i think Fm cant ruin your life because there bascally is no life without FM. OK maybe i could cope with playing Crusader Kings II for the rest of my life but we dont think in extremes like havinf to life in catastrophic scenarios like this.

silverboot81 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Do you think she has already reached her full potential? Obviously her mental skills are not good enough for a CB but you could try to re-train her as a goal-hungry poacher. Or you could just set squad status 'Not needed' and sell for a reasonable price More seriously, GFs/wifes need attention. Failing to do this you might get you into troubles. I suppose I am lucky here as my wife is a gamer too and she kinda understands my ranting (not in the night time, though). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You actually just signed your resignation , as soon as the paperwork is down you will find out the wonderkid was just a scouting error and you face the real boss now.

C'mon man, I had my fair share of "scouting errors" in the past, "wonderkids" that I thought that had the best potential and that were all I ever wanted, turning out to be as crap as they could be. I like to believe my eye for "attributes" and "potential" got better in time and that I've found a real gem now. If you know what I mean :)) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypvfc Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I wouldn't upset your girlfriend mate, before you know it she'll get the mother-in-law after you, her best mate, her hairdresser and her nail lady. They'll demand a team meeting and you're as good as finished. I'd promise more game time over the coming weeks although you should stress that you may have to transfer list her if she keeps giving you grief.

I wouldn't believe, for one second, that a person would trade their girlfriend / boyfriend / wife / husband for a "stupid" game. Also if you would accept my humble advice, no matter how harsh our personal problems are, we are most likely far from being in the worst situation. Me and my girlfriend had our lifes directly threatned by members of a famous terrorist group and here we are, alive, and joking about playing Football Manager, And I'm sure some people had it worse than us.

I have a full-time job. My wife's is urging me to start a new business. We have 3 models running a fashion line out of our kitchen. GRR Martin's new book is out.
