That's real football, video games are not real, simulation is not real, what worries me is that some cannot understand there is a difference. Wouldn't it be better to actually play a game of football, you know like we did as kids, perhaps then we might actually win something as a Nation. Or all those FM players could actually teach youngsters to play, real time, but hey that would mean you would have to leave your cosy warm house, and venture outside, Brrrr. like i do every sunday when not injured?

1bristolcity Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 1 hour ago, richwwtk said: Why are you turning this into an argument about playing FM rather than getting out and playing the game? Plenty of people do both you know, I'm fairly certain that one isn't a substitute for the other. Yes, everyone understands that FM isn't real football, but it is nevertheless football related, and therefore deserves it's place in the football forum. It really doesn't have a place on a Football Forum, it might on a forum that dedicates itself to gaming, but this is about BCFC and matters that are real, not surreal. Like I say there could be a little corner, kiddies corner if you like where you can discuss games and gaming otherwise it comes over as a bit 'wet'.

David Brent Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I've not played Football Manager properly since 2005, or rather that was the last version I played.

1960maaan Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I may come across as wet, makes a change from a misog, but any word on the other parts of the game. Isn't there a draft version, thought I heard there were 3 types of the game can't remember the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 As someone who, from time to time, has communicated on forums of other clubs to get outside opinions, I can confirm many of them have a Football Manager thread. Though how a few people spending a few hours of their free time on FM is the cause of the England team being a failure is a bit confusing @1bristolcity, personally had it down to the issues in the set up right from grassroots. Now I know that the reason our players are a group of individuals who play with little desire rather than a team that gives it all on the pitch is because I spend a few hours of my spare time on a game that affects absolutely no one other than myself.

Tipps69 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I hope I'm not going to upset someone who doesn't want to know about Football Manager 2017 (a computer game) by posting this on a thread titled "Football Manager 2017" but here's my little update, I finished 11th in the first season with Tammy (the simulated one, not the real one) finished top goal scorer in the division with 27 goals. Start of my 2nd season & I have managed to sale 4 16 year olds that I signed at the start of last season for £15m, even though none of them had actually made an appearance for the first team, so my bank balance is now looking very healthy (please remember that this is simulated & I don't actually have £15m with me in my house). So the board of directors are very happy with me although I haven't actually had contact with anyone called Mr Lansdown to thank me in person for such an achievement as I put the 5 pillars into practice. If you have accidentally clicked on this thread & are gutted to find out that what is being discussed in here isn't actually real life Bristol City news or are offended with what is in here, I can only apologise for the upset you must be going through right now.

JoeAman08 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I know it's only sky but don't these use FM ratings to discuss transfers? Point being, it's a bit more than a computer game. It's a large database of footballers that anyone can access. It's quite relevant in the football community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 It's actually a proven fact that as football has progressed and in particular analysis. Managers and players alike have been known to frequently use Fifa or FM to look up certain players or teams. Im currently Darlington on my first season, 2nd in the league and a nice cup run to the 1st round proper! Managed to sign Scott Murray as a coach too!!
