Anger Management
Average Rating: 10/10 Hits: 799 Submitted: Jul 23, 2008
It’s been a long time since I remember shouting at the screen whilst playing Football Manager. For me, the idea of losing the Champions League Final in the last minute of stoppage time isn’t half as bad as it would have been losing it in CM01/02. Are we used to the idea of losing these important games after a successful increase in the FM series? Or is the ‘fun-factor’ no longer there? For me, it’s not the latter- I still play the game out of sheer fun, it just seems that losing these big games no longer brings out the anger management problem we all seemed to have had in the past.
You can’t deny that you’ve never banged your desk, nearly punched the scream or shouted at a relative for ‘disturbing’ you. It just seems in the last 3 series of FM, losing big games just doesn’t leave the same guilt-edge as it used too- my brother used (key word, used) to say I had a problem, but fortunately for him only the computer desk, the keyboard and my pride would have taken a beating.
Have we maybe just accepted the fact it’s football, and these things happen? (Istanbul, for example). I’d like to know what your take is on this, are you still a die hard fan and cry every time you lose a big game, or do you just grunt and continue with your game?
