I'm not 100% sure why it is, i assume its just part of our genetic makeup, that we'll have moment when we are hell bent, focused and determined to spend x hours a day playing FM trying to complete a challenge, take your local team to success or whatever else floats your boat.

Then for some reason, the next day you just can't be arsed with it, loading up FM alone bores you to tears and your left hiding in the corner of your bedroom rocking back and forth, thinking about that clergyman who may or may not have molested you.

Anyways, I would like to think that this websites main purpose is to try to eliminate the later, or cut it out to a minimum, we hope to always have a game available for download that will appeal to people when they're in their darkest hours, to give them that buzz again when they feel the magic is lost.

Now of course we're growing, but everyone is different and we will all have peaks and troughs as to when we can "fly the flag" or be in the "meh i can't be bothered" route, but in a game where they're is at least 50 playable country's with leagues to play in, surely you couldn't get bored.

Yes we're all different, we all play FM for different goals, my idea of a great FM game someone else may hate. To me, Creating a tactic that matches the players you have at the club when i first started playing, and people who know me will know i speak the truth, its something i never did.

I came from an Era when I would just download your Scramjets or Diablo's and then just have a Shortlist of all the best players in game and simply try to buy them all, kinda like Pokemon….

But through time I've become the exact opposite, I now take over a team low down in a league, check out their potential best players, and work out what formation will get the most out of them, then set the tactic up and slowly over the first season i will fine tune all those tactical arrows and cross patterns till my team play as a unit.

I used to just load FM up, and basically every game was the same no matter what league i was in, i'd always buy the same players for all my teams, because i knew i could win, and that is fun, winning is fun. I'm not knocking that, but that was the old me, the new me is out every season trying to find 2-3 players a season to bring in to the squad as they raise through the league system.

Ideally i wouldn't sign anyone, but with the majority of players a conference team can own having potentials of under 120 you can't have a hope of winning league 1 + with a team full of arsebiscuits. Yet I want continuity, i wont go back to signing an entire new team each season, I want to see players grow.

In the end you will get the most OUT of the game when you put the most in, when you truely are working the game on all of its plains, Tactics, training, scouting and Managing, even if you tire of one game you can start another, new players, new positions, new attacking mentality.

Only you know what it will take to keep you playing and enjoying the game, but when you do reach that corner, where you've done all you can with the team, merely create a new game, and go to almost the polar opposite of your experience.

For example, you've won European champions league 5 seasons in a row with Real Madrid, and are after a bit of a challenge, the polar opposite of that would probably be a lower league game due to lack of European Competition. And as always variety is the spice of life, even if you do have a favourite "game" that you want to take 20 seasons plus, you can always make a new game managing India just for fun.

Now that probably just came out as a load of waffle, i didn't plan on writing an article, i just sat in front of the pc, began typing and this is what transcribed.

Have fun, its just a game, but do challenge yourself, you'll always feel better for it.
