interesti88 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Does anyone listen to background music or white noise or chants while playing FM? I usually listen to podcasts while playing, helps stimulate my mind, helps with the immersion and look up prospects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 My FM sessions are the perfect time to catch up on podcasts, if I don't have any of those it's over to the music library or I move to the laptop while watching some real football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Normally listen to music or have tv on (sport most of the time). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
interesti88 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 You know what would be cool, if while your managing a certain team and have a big match you can listen to stadium chants, not the generic noise on FM but actual chants get to your blood pumping for that big match.

I swear a fair few versions ago you could add custom chants to the game. Not sure why SI haven't explored this area a bit more, because its something that would be pretty easy to add and the community would no doubt provide all the chants themselves. I watch movies whilst I play, I can't just play without something else happening as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporadicsmiles Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I like to have a good documentary on, to watch while processing and to keep me from despair at the awful performances! Acoustic blues works pretty well too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLLMEISTER1 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Champions League theme tune just before Champions League games for me. Let it ride out for the 2 minutes or so whilst I sort tactics for the up and coming match. Once the song finishes, im good to go for kick off. No other music/activities for me whilst playing through the game. Full concentration mode needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because a lot of people wouldn't use it. Pretty sure the general consensus a while back was that a few people did indeed use the sound and want it improved, but the majority didn't. You could add them on previous versions, but seem to remember they were a bit flaky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyCat Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I haven't had the sound on an FM in years. Always fire up Spotify or a long mix on YouTube with headphones for my FM sessions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soninho Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I always used to turn on Linkin Parks Hybrid theory album on repeat when it came out to have in the background. Also watching tv, (mostly sports), and shuffle a deck of cards.. Nowdays when I hear a Linkin park song from that album I realize I know all the lyrics without even thinking about it!

eriktous Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I couldn't focus on a podcast while playing FM, or any game for that matter. Don't understand how you guys manage that. I do usually have music on when at my pc, which is why I would like FM to provide a volume slider during matches. It frequently happens that the in-game sounds are overpowering a quieter song, and the only option I have now is to turn them off completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically listen to either podcasts or music from my phone.

JaYmZeE Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Football Manager windowed and F1 on VLC - perfect. There's nothing to stop you changing the volume setting during a match. Do it all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBroadband Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 For me podcasts all the way; mainly Scroobius Pip's Distraction Pieces or Adam Buxton. When they're done, I'll chuck on Gilles Peterson's 6Music show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshace Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Pretty much all my entertainment comes from my laptop these days.. So it's typically FM on the laptop while chromecasting a movie or podcast/music/tv etc to the tv. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
