huggormen Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 sex should always be set to default oh, and be careful with creative freedom.....excpecially on a wet pitch. A direct approach should be preferred, possibly try some ppm's. curves ball is always a fans favourite around here.. on a more rough surface i would suggest you try to pump it into the box right from the go. get balls forward to the goalmouth, and smack her crossbar till the crowd gets their moneys worth. final advice will have to be pick ur missus wisely. Too much flair and you won't be walking for weeks, let alone talk about it. you don't want to play it rigid only to find her flairy fingers breaking ur offside trap, or marked as an easily penetrated d-line!

Winston Ellis Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 With a wife and a son and a responsible job, and yet here I lay in bed in the dark obsessing and fuming over the fact that in a video game I have just been beaten by an opposition I believe to be inferior. A game, ffs and I literally can't sleep cause I'm so annoyed. My wife is right, I'm a sad ****er. NEWCASTLE ffs!!!! Grrrr Tell me I'm not the only saddo out there who can let this game affect their evening. Look mate, it's not sad to do something you enjoy a lot. It's just like watching TV a lot, it's not sad.

dustygator Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I spend an hour drawing up derby tactics, and tell the press I'm pretty sure we're going to win. The Cerrito manager is complaining about our pitch, which is in terrible condition — he says his players are in danger. I call my guy at the Montevideo Football Times and tell him my counterpart should worry about his tactics, not the grass. In the locker room, I tell my guys to win one for the fans. Before I know it, the whistle blows. It's a cold day in Uruguay, except that it isn't, and rain is lashing down on the pitch, except that there is no pitch, and the soccer team I'm coaching, whose players don't exist, has just given up a goal to go down 3-0 to their hated rival, whose players also don't exist, and my heart is racing, and the curse words I'm uttering are purely and wonderfully real. quoted from this great article http://deadspin.com/#!5707443/the-unreal-genius-of-football-manager-greatest-video-game-ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfish Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I go and whinge to the missus when stuff doesn't go my way. me too. she pats me on the head. no, genuinely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty27 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Really doesn't get any better - I'm knocking on 50 and I'm the same.The solution is to put your missus on the right training schedule. For me it's Soaps - normal Sex - normal Movies - high Chat - minimum Sims - high Keeps her sweet and leaves me in peace with my FM campaign. Bloody brilliant!

lewis999 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Still only 20 here and just read the whole thread, think what I will look for in a girl has changed, got to look for long term traits and hidden personality attributes, a high 'dirtiness' stat wouldn't go a miss coupled with low 'temperament' and high 'fitness' might give myself a fighting chance. Because there's no way any amount of nagging will stop me from playing FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
