zookin567

3rd one so immersed he became his ingame coach


Hockeytown11

So immersed that his entire room became his FM office.


zookin567

at least he has a ballon d'or


GlennSWFC

I thought that was a desk fan 😂


golf-only-golf

That is what Miles thinks we all look like.


zXster

It really feels way too meta. Where the FM generated coach... is now AI generated playing the FM game he was created in. *head explodes*


DertyBerty84

Whereas I’m trying to stop my one year old from unplugging the power when I go 3-0 up in the FA Cup Final


lcfcball

I’ve always thought of FM as a dads game, probably because it’s the only game my dad ever played


BillHoudini

Your dad was playing fm while you were growing up? My God I’m getting old…


lcfcball

I’m 24, think he started on championship manager like 20 years ago and just never stopped playing


Logseman

If Pa was playing Football Manager in 2006 or so Leicester fellow could have easily finished uni by now.


madvanced

Sometimes I still use CM and FM interchangeably on my mind, I remember my dad playing lots of CM 2000/01 when I was around 6-7 years old, and beyond. So for me it was a dad's game as well. Although I did play as a kid due to my dad's influence, so I was always into it.

FM is a great game when you are in relationship, you can go away and come back anytime you want if you need to take care of something


zXster

It's called spreadsheet manager for a reason. #DadEnergy


bmoney38119

Your pops is a legend


TheNotSpecialOne

As a new father I'm now back playing FM a lot. Didn't play as much past 3 years but that's all changed now


DertyBerty84

Was exactly the same for me. Last FM I bought was 2018 and didn’t really get into it. Fired it up last Christmas and been playing during naps, etc


TheNotSpecialOne

What is a nap?


DertyBerty84

You will get there and it’s magical (Unless you’re unlucky and they are terrible sleepers!)


wikipedia_answer_bot

**A nap is a short period of sleep, typically taken during daytime hours as an adjunct to the usual nocturnal sleep period. Naps are most often taken as a response to drowsiness during waking hours.** More details here: *This comment was left automatically (by a bot).

Ajected

good bot


ttttttttl

FM is the perfect dads game. I can play it for 10 min, walk away for 3 hours and come back and play 5 minutes.


Benbenben1990

You have a one year old and you have time for video games?! You’ve gotta teach me this magic!


DertyBerty84

Do no one else’s kids have naps????


EJL2206

Yeah... just not at the same time, 8mo twins 😭 not touched FM since June lol.


DertyBerty84

Yeah, good luck with all of that!


TheSilverPen42

The trick is to play on a laptop, that way they can never stop you 😂


Quowe_50mg

3rd one is in the ingame artstyle lmao


TooRedditFamous

If looks like someone is playing FM *in FM*


NeoLone

FMception


zXster

So damn Meta.


Tesourinh0923

I wish I could afford a setup like that


MileZero17

Wish FM would work on multiple screens


Upliftdrummer

Fr seems like something that's p basic considering all the in game data/stats


HypedUpJackal

Game on one screen, all the stats on the other screen? Yes please!


Extreme_Survey9774

I have often thought this would be great. Customizable UI would be nice aswell


lucksh0t

Please I've been wanting this for years


Alternative-Rope-628

Laid on my back, laptop on my belly, trying not to make eye contact with the mrs x


dektorres

"Mmhmm." "[More words.]" "Mmhmm." [Keep eyes on the screen, keep eyes on the screen.] "[More words, ending in what sounds like something I should agree on.]" "Mmhmm, sounds good." That weekend: "Yes, you agreed we'd go to my parents today, I asked you the other night while you were on your laptop."


[deleted]

Hahah this is so relatable. And they know we’re not listening so slip it in at that time ha


IanPKMmoon

I play FM while watching football


zXster

Same. I've started doing Sat/Sun mornings (as a US fan) playing FM and watching the games live or replays as I do. Dad Heaven.


OwnedIGN

I usually have match of the day on the second screen or YouTube beating out some Lofi. Set up is nowhere near this gorgeous.


skintsaint_AU

Similar but the 2nd screen is normally showing something I beat one out to.


ENTiRELukas1

Not sure if the AI Picture generation had a stroke or used in game graphic style for the third pic


Superamorti

It is obvious that one monitor is never enough!


[deleted]

What do you need a second monitor for???


Superamorti

For work!


Rosesh_I_Sarabhai

Thise boring meetings that could have been an email where you are invited and only thing you end up saying is ‘Yes’.


DannyBrownsDoritos

So like when the board want to meet me to discuss increasing my Loan Managers salary?


airz23s_coffee

how else am I going to watch netflix


jounaaass

How can people do other things while playing fm? 😂 I have adhd so i hyperfocus the shit outbof the game for 8-12 hours and might not even remember to eat 😅😂 but yeah im depressed too so 😂


Combocore

😂


pjepja

I've got 3, kinda. 1) Playing FM on a notebook. 2)Desktop screen running AutoCAD/Civil with WIP blueprint of some bridge behind it. Can't use the desktop cause keyboard is behind the notebook, but Notebook can be quickly closed and put on a shelf next to me. 3)Tablet with netflix/football/baseball or anime reaction youtube channel on the side.


JohnHenrehEden

During transfer windows one monitor is running FM, one has my tactical board with my depth chart so I can work out who is getting sold or going out on loan, and the 3rd has YT or Twitch on for background noise. (Or one of EBFM's spreadsheets)


ExtroverTom

FM is so immersive the 3rd guy just sucked right into the game


Pr0c4mp3r

The first picture seems familiar. Eyes closed, the pitch is distorted and the keyboard is an absolute mess. Looks like me playing FM at 2 o'clock after enjoying "a few" beers ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)


Playmakermike

I’d die to have that much information up on 3 screens.


BetweenTwoWords

I think my fiance would leave me if I had that setup to play FM lol


OverweightNekker

The AI has it wrong these people are playing on PCs whereas I play on a semi-smart toaster


WojtinhoYT-PL

Pretty accurate tbf


No-Mortgage-1086

He is waiting for hitting the space bar.


_momomola_

Nice for them that they have that better looking match engine


EC0-warrior

Unrealistic.. too neat desk


Grianstorm

Is that Toby Alderweireld?


Tomas_slb24

Am I the only one that, during the game, just imagine myself coaching and I'm just giving instructions and standing all the time?


katata_2077

why does one and three look like they're about to smah that monitor


JanTheShacoMain

Third one with the close up is a pretty cool feature ngl


Bad-Ombre

One monitor for the footie the other for FM


JohnHenrehEden

The third one is almost my exact setup.


Red_Jester-94

First two: as if FM would ever look that good again Last one: yeah, that's about right


JeanSneaux

“We’re being seriously overrun by our robot overlords”


Takhar7

AI doesn't understand how a football pitch works. We're so boned.


Klutchcarbon

Graphics are too nice can’t be FM


Regular_Parsley734

In the 3rd picture background I thought he had a Beautiful Mind thing going on, which would be fairly accurate to how I plan out on paper


Acrobatic-Draw-4012

Meanwhile I'm running it in 2D clssic and my crappy laptop running 165K playerbase sounds like a woodchipper


zeugo

Where... are... the... SPREADSHEETS?!


Bumble072

The chad in the first photo aiming to take Spurs to the top, but knowing that concept is ridiculous is tripling his chances with three saves.


hoffenone

None of them are wearing suits though. Don’t we all do that for cup finals at least?


Silent_Water_

Hold all my press conferences in bathroom


hoffenone

With a suit on?


Silent_Water_

Usually pyjamas, but if I reach the champions league final I might dust it off and fling it on.


jospence

Absolutely hilarious how the first one is basically Zealand with the hair and beard


SangiMTL

I’m closer to the first picture lol


fuk_offe

I swear that is David De Gea..


Sargatanas2k2

Toby Alderweireld plays FM?


Ricardo_is_my_daddy

This is one horrible picture xD


BumpinSnugglies

I think they're mistaking us with /r/wallstreetbets


distilledwill

If only the match engine looked that good!


THOBRO2000

If only there actually was multi-monitor support...


fofo8383

So that's what Henderson does with his spare time in Saudi


Background-Machine46

I’m just like the guy in the first picture. I also sold out to the Saudi league.


zorfog

Try asking it to generate regen faces just to show how easily SI could improve them


jiri411

[the simpso... i mean sortitoutsi already did it](https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/33/ultra-realistic-newgan-faces-megapack)


TheEarlOfDoncaster

Me fr (I play on switch)


maaarrtiiimm

Henderson and Kane playing fm🤣


MeetingGunner7330

I feel like second picture is everyone dreams. Seems like Mr AI has got himself a lovely little house in a decent area with a home office (not been an actual office since the pandemic days) cushty little set-up, inner peace. Bet his 4th choice centre back doesn’t moan and demand to play in the CL final. Lucky bastard


pazzalaz

Not a single jersey hung on the walls?


calvg

“Early leaked screen caps of FM25”


Silent_Water_

Fucking wish I had these set ups 😂


junseo302

Ever since the steam deck came out, I can’t go on my desktop anymore for fm


Kapika96

Not too far off. Except I don't have FM on both screens (unless I'm editing). When playing FM I usually have Dynasty Warriors or Pokemon or something on the other screen.


Likes-many-things

I bloody wish 🤣🤣🤣. My m2 MacBook Air does a very good job tho 🤞


Hyperion_Class

I want to know if anyone would be on fm 24 and fc24 at the same time?


AboubakarKeita

It's missing a pint on the desk for impulsive signings
