Author Topic: The Mystery Of Football Manager 2014  (Read 1008 times)

So, this has been bugging me for quite a while now:

June 19th 12:56AM Central Time


Out of the 600+ people I have come into contact with, and the hundreds of groups I've been associated with in the past, not a single person has ever even heard of this game, let alone played it. Yet somehow it finds its way onto steam's top player count each day. All the other games on the list look like ones I could generally expect to have huge playercounts, but wtf is with this title. Its like the rouge skittle in my M&Ms that somehow snuck its way in there and is pretending to be made of chocolate.

Does anyone at all have any idea about this, at all? Is there some group of players that use steam solely to play this game and not for a single other purpose? Like some hidden cult hiding in some crazy man's abandoned warehouse?

HI EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO JOHN MADDEN FOOTBALL

ive seen people playing it. it's not a mystery, it's a popular game.

I've got a lot of friends who play Football Manager, and often it's their only game they play on Steam.
I think the fact that it's about football means it attracts a lot of people who aren't really gamers, a bit like FIFA.
So, I'm not surprised it's popular.

it's likely popular in foreign countries that has a bigger football scene obviously.  when i went to an internet cafe in armenia, people were playing lots of fifa or w/e the forget on the PC.

Yeah, it's definitely popular internationally. With FIFA and football being worldwide it's not surprising that football games are some of the most popular sports games out there.

Go home Ry, you're drunk

too bad its not REAL football

Yes, they're called non-Americans.

I play this game all of the time. Its quite popular here in Jordan.
