j0ekerr: FOOTBALL MANAGER My rage knows no bounds!
Fact: I know people who buy a console and only one game a year.
That game is FIFA.
skeletonbow: Every time I look at Steam stats and see that Football Manager game it baffles my mind that there are that many people out there that like football that there are that many people that like football video games that there are that many people playing football on Steam to keep it high on the most played games list. ;) Admittedly I'm not a sports fan and I don't know barely anyone that even likes football IRL, so it's just about as odd to me as if say the game "I Am Bread" became #4 on Steam constantly. But... I guess lots of people really do like football or it simply wouldn't be there. Unless.... unless the Football Manager 2015 game itself sucks rocks but it is moddable and people are loading Homer Simpson and Japanese porn mods into the game or something. Hrm...
FM 2015 does suck, its pretty much just reskinned football manager 2014, because sega has no serious competition there.
and not to mention most people who like football dont even like FM games, because football manager isnt flashy and you dont actually play your matches (like in lets say fifa), so yeah i suppose there are a few people in the world who like football enough to make FM games so popular, considering its not even game about football per se, but more about stats and spreadsheets and stuff. Its like Eve in ... umm football world. you watch stats, give instructions and hope for the best :P
ah and yeah im one of those who played like 12 different versions of football manager (i started in like 1999-2000 or so?) and i could still get like 20000 hours of gameplay out of it, even if its just a few minor changes from version to version, it offers unlimited replayability and maybe thats why people like it so much.
dam and i just wanted to say how fm 15 sucks but ended up writing a mini novel. oh well.
