been with OOTP since v1 and have only recently started playing FM

Also I have played and coached baseball all my life.

only recently came around to soccer at all (largely because of FM)

so for all of those reasons I chose OOTP - just a spectacular game that I have played non-stop for over 10 years.

having said that I am blown away with how great FM is. according to Steam I have played the 2 versions I own over 1000 hours! and I started not knowing ANYTHING about soccer. I basically knew Pele, Beckham, Landon Donovan and well that is it. Since then I have read several books (to be fair the Nick Horby Fever Pitch book which is much better then either movie is really when I started to give soccer a fair look) and now routinely watch Arsenal games whenever I can. Soccer is still very clearly my 5th sport after the big 4 - but I have played FAR more FM this year than any other game other then OOTP.

If you have never played, it really is worth a look
