The true measure of a great game is how immersive it is despite the proclivities of the user.

Safe to say prior to FM, I hated soccer - *hated it*. I embraced all of the stereotypical american bashing of soccer. However, after seeing how many people on this board loved it, I asked if anyone knew where I could get a cheap copy. WSUCougar sent me FM03 gratis and I was completely hooked a week later. Safe to say I play more FM than every other game/sim I've got put together, and it rivals how much time I played SOM back in grade school - and that is a lot.

It also changed my opinion of soccer - ahem - football IRL, and I now follow Rangers as well as the EPL, can talk about internation soccer and not sound noobish, and even have my aunt in Scotland scouring the north coast for a Peterhead kit - my first FM dynasty.

Whatever FM was able to tap into, it's perfect. Absolutely perfect.
