Hellhammer Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I watch the games with normal speed and key moments, and it seems to take forever to complete even one match. Of course I could watch them faster and with less details, but then I wouldn´t notice if my tactics work or not. Some people say they play for example season 2017/2018, when it takes a looong time for me to get through one season with about 2 hours playing time per day. Do you people go on holiday, do you just skip watching the games, or are you just going on slowly and be patient? I´d really like to get the game going on faster for me with keeping the ability to actually see what happens. Any tips? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenArsenal Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I play very slowly... I've yet to complete a season on 09, and the most I've ever finished was two seasons on any FM game. I'm guessing only the really hardcore would finish a season in a day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoopy D Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I watch key highlights with the "match speed" slider about 3/4 of the way to the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboblue Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 i watch the games with the match speed slider about 3/4 aswell and just watching the highlights of the goals. on 08 i got to season 2015/2016 with PSV but that is as far as i have ever been and i dont think i have completed even 2 seasons in 09.

golfpunk Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I watch key highlights with the "match speed" slider about 3/4 of the way to the right.

Leeds_86 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I don't watch in 2d or 3d, just commentary set at fastest. Old school style, although I often watch my teams goals after the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimac Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Full detail, watch every game on normal speed. Takes me ages to complete a season but more realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STANNY08 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I usually watch extended highlights at slighly quicker than normal speed. Apparently i have been playing 7 days 12 hours 53 mins and im at september 2012 so that will give you an idea as to how slow i play. If thing are going well i tend to go a bit quicker if, things are more dificult i take a lot longer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedroses Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 For the first time I am playing a save with 10 managers (Wolves, Shef Wed, Coventry, Leicester, Forest, Wrexham, Telford, Wimbledon, Partick Thistle, Llanelli). I played a season and it's now a week that I am working on the new season (24.06.2009 - 01.07.2009) This will become a legendary game, hopefully lasting til FM10 is in the shops.

crafty bison Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I would like an adjustment of "Key" highlights to mean the actual key moments, because currently they are actually extended highlights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennico Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Full Match mode, with speed slider midway. Usually get time for one (or sometimes two) matches a night when home from work and daily family duties dealt with. Currently 8 games into my main Southampton save, 15 games into my Bournemouth save, and 3 games into my Poole Town save [edited DB to put them into BSS (and created players to make their real-life squad)]. I like the realism playing in Full mode, and slowly working through matches. In the same way I spend the week looking forward to our real-life games at the weekend, so I spend the day looking forward to our (FM) match when I get home from work. It takes forever and a day, but makes the game feel more 'real-time' for me. And besides, how many 'real life' football managers do you know, who say to their Assistant's during a match: "Hey, Ass Man, I'm just popping up to the bar for a bit, give me a shout if there's any key highlights I need to see, and I'll rush down and see if I can figure out what's going on".

cemthetriton Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Match speed a click or two above the middle, extended highlights, but full match for those important cup games (I'm in the CCC with Bishop's Stortford, 2014/2015). My game time says about 17 days, and "your relationship has now expired" on the addictedness rating, definitely made me laugh, although I have left FM open and my computer on standby for a night or two, so all in all, somewhere around 3 full days of game time per season.

danielllll Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Full match speed, only commentary. Using genie scout to find players. Only thing taking time is sending my youth players out on loan. Try to get by as fast as I can. Now in 2024. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano86 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I play it on extended 4/5 of the way along, it takes me forever to get through a season, i run 9 leagues from 5 nations but on the day of a match my computer takes an age, yet the graphics play smooth??

lurkingwithintent Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'm in February of my 6th season after 11 days game time, spanning about 4 months of play since I started the save. I play slowly, normally on MSN, internet etc whilst playing and I like to spend time searching for players, tactics etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seal Eagle Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Rather fast.. I'm in the year 2036 now.. that makes about 27 seasons and the game time is 15 days, 8 hours, 20 minutes.. that averages at 13,7 hours per season. I've played 1572 matches, that averages at 14 minutes per match, and since not all the time in the game is spent playing matches, I would say that I spend 5-10 minutes per match. But huge games, finals in the championship or other cups, big games in the league and matches like that get more time from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGLiverpool Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Would be cool if there was a way to only show goals and red cards when watching a game, especially say if you need to go to bed soon, and want to go through a couple of games quickly.

dafuge Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I play as fast as possible, I'm not a tactician so I like to create a balanced tactic and then stick with it and zoom through the seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaToon Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I play as fast as possible, I'm not a tactician so I like to create a balanced tactic and then stick with it and zoom through the seasons. Same. I don't spend a lot of time fiddling with lineups and tactics. I pick a tactic and a starting lineup and go with it. I like to keep things moving along and not get bogged down in one season for too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
