fmone Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm sorry to say that, but over the 15 years I'm tired of watcing matches again and again(maybe age has something to with it?). But I'm loving the game, so only solution to me to keep playing and enyonig it is skiping matches and just seeing results (good old SWOSECE times). Right now only possibility is go to holyday for one day at the beggining of every match. I'm afraid that it may mess thing up, like media and training so would't it be easier if we had just a result button or something similar?

Kenco Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 No it wouldn't be easier, because a large part of being a manager is making changes during a match and a result button wouldn't allow this. You could just select 'only commentary' and put it on full speed if you want to rush through games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmone Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 On full speed I still have to make subtitutions and tactical changes if I want to be succesfull also. I would like to leave these things to my ass man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenco Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 If you want your assistant manager to take control then you can holiday. I don't see how it will affect training. It means he will probably take a press conference if it's on the same day, but I don't understand why you are worried about him messing these up when you are okay with him messing up your on-pitch performances, these are much more important!

fmone Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Well, it's not like it would ruin your game or enjoyment. It would just be alternative for those who would like to progress quicker and still enjoy the game. But if people are against it and assman does the job and doesn't mess nothing up(except maybe result) then let it be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erith22 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I don't think there's anything wrong with this request. I play out every game, but some people maybe just want to play fantasy football, not fantasy in-game manager. In fact I didn't realize the option was no longer in the game. Seems like a simple enough option 'allow my Assistant Manager to take control of all matches'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankie Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Sometimes I am 4-0 up or 4-0 down and I am well into the second half and I just want to end the game. A result button may not be a bad feature How about a button that, for the rest of the game, changes the speed to maximum with commentary only and no replays? Then at the end of the game the match control settings go back to how they were for the next match. I don't like penalty shootouts, so I would use such a button whenever I have to suffer that ordeal.

ronaldo_rooney Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I don't like penalty shootouts, so I would use such a button whenever I have to suffer that ordeal. Same here.

Lindhoffen Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 How about a button that removes all the players from the pitch while you're watching the match? It would have the benefit of not showing you how they run back and forth and you wouldn't have to tire your "old" wary eyes trying to see where the ball is. It would also have the added benefit of having the commentary completely silent, you wouldn't have to bust your brain trying to read short sentences. No need to worry about substitutes, player form, injuries, weather condition, yellow/red cards or everything in between - the players are in the local pub, not on the pitch! I think this is something SI really should consider for FM12, it would make life much easier for me as a manager and my players would constantly be happy (unless the beer at the pub wasn't to their liking) and boozed up.

hugo_rune Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Isn't there something in team settings where you can let your assistant manager take charge of your first team? Or is that just for reserves and U18? If not, there probably should be - I mean, I would never consider it myself, but clearly some would rather have the assistant manager play their game for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kktheboy Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I can see where the OP is coming from. Look, I started playing this game 6 years ago. I played through college and through my first two years in the workforce. However, I will be starting law school next year and it will be difficult to find the time to play. This is strange but since 3d was first implemented I have NEVER watched a 3d game for more than the first 5 mins. I did that in FM 09 and I have just stuck to my commentary ever since. I have not even tried 3d in 2011 (did not play 2010). I guess that is the way to go if you want things to move faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nev147 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I can remember this in LMA manager a good few years ago. As people have said the match day is where the best managers come to the fore and earn their corn. Unlike some games FM takes a lot of time and care to try and get the desired results - and to a certain extent the match day is where we see all our hard work paying off!!! You can never beat the flashing bar with the word GOAL!!! If the OP would like it then fair enough - but I would imagine very few people would like this to be implemented in the near future.

fmone Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 One solution would be to put it under extra files, so originally it would be same and many people would not even know it's there.

Munimentum Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I love how unbelievably sarcastic some of the people in this thread are. Assuming a "skip match" button was implemented, how would it affect the people who wouldn't use it exactly? It would not affect you at all, but there may be thousands of people who would love such a feature, or it may even attract people who play the demo to get the full game. I'm not saying it would, just that it might. And it's just an easier way of holidaying so its not like the code isn't already in place to facilitate it. It's staggering how simple suggestions like this get people who wouldn't use it so riled up just because someone else wants to play a game differently than them.

asdpoo Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 There is nothing bad about having a result button. If you don't like it don't use it, but let others play it the way they want.

theboydonegood Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Would love this tbh, the match bores me senseless and a lot of the time I set up the team let it kick off and then just go on holiday for 1 day.

Jelle Slaets Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I'd love this button. I would still manage all important games, but after 14 seasons and having a killer team, there is little point in me managing all the league games, as most of them could probably be managed by my dog, and the team would win. The time spent watching me hammer defenceless little squads could be spent on scouting for new players every summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely do not see a point in playing FM if you aren't going to play matches at all. Complaining about having to make tactical changes and subs seems ridiculous - that is the day to day job for a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
