When playing Football Manager, it's important to be mindful of what you say to your virtual players. One fan learned this lesson the hard way when a heated argument with his players led to him giving up his save and forcing his team to play in the freezing north of Russia.
In the past few months, Football Manager fans have been through a lot. Features have been removed and this year's release has been delayed until March. Some fans were disappointed to hear that there would be no player update for last year's game, but others have found a way to update it themselves using the in-game editor.
Although the editor is a powerful tool, it can also be used in negative ways. This was the case for one fan who, after a dispute in the locker room, decided to send his players to the freezing north of Russia. The Reddit user, NothingAdvanced9348, had been trying to revive the German second division team Schalke and bring back their former glory.
Despite sorting out the club's finances and signing promising players, Schalke faced some challenges. Two of their newly generated star players wanted to leave for Bayern Munich, and the rest of the team turned against the fan, demanding that he let them go. Refusing to give in to their ultimatum, the fan saw a decline in team morale and a string of losses. Eventually, he had enough and sold the two players, but even that wasn't enough to please the team's captain.
In a fit of frustration, the fan turned to the editor and sent all of his players to a lower division club in the north of Russia. But he didn't stop there. He also lowered their attributes to one and gave them long, low-paying contracts. This extreme reaction may seem excessive, but it's a reminder of how passionate Football Manager fans can be about the game.
While Football Manager 2024 is a great game, it's not without its flaws. The dialogue, in particular, has been known to be lacking. But this extreme story serves as a reminder that the game is not just about tactics and strategy, but also about managing personalities and relationships within the team.
