I was watching Ssn and they use stats from football manager
Yeah I think older generations struggle with the concept of reality gaming, like it's derisory or pointless.
Football Manager is based on real life scouting (it's how they work out how good to make them) and the majority of class players on the game turn out to be future world class players in real life. I don't really play Fifa, partly cause I'm **** at it but mostly because I don't really do games like that unless it's Tiger Woods or John Madden.
I used to watch Fifa futbal mundial, which was a program (dunno if it's still on) that talked about world football and showed highlights from the J league, the Iraqi leave, the Egyptian league and all sorts of other clubs. Loved it. I love watching City, but I equally love watching any other football.
