yellowgreenredblue Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 How long does it take you to complete a full season in Football Manager? How long does it take you to complete a week in Football Manager? What takes you a long or short time? And what in game features make you take so long or short to complete a week or a year?

SWaRFeGa Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hard to say really. On FM12 so far: One season in one week. FM11: 35 seasons in 52 weeks. No doubt the initial heavy-duty playing time slows down as time ticks away... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcornell68 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I aim to finish a season in a week, which is ~20 hours for me. So I make that ~20 mins per game week, most of that is spent on the match/matches itself/themselves. I save time by not doing any press junk and very little player interaction. Basically, my "fun stuff only" policy balances with my 1 season a week target. If the game gets more complicated, I'll miss other things out to compensate.

yellowgreenredblue Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 One season a week, WOW thats a lot of play time and dedication. Do you not watch the matches with the 3-D engine? What do you mean by the initial heavy-duty playing time slowing you down?? Cheers for the response. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackter Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 At the moment I'm getting through about a season a day, but I don't have that much time to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactic Master Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm shooting out 1 season per 20 minutes. That could be because i'm holidaying though? All jokes aside... In my clan game, it usually takes 1 - 2 weeks to finish a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially you'll be excited with the "new game" and spend lots of time on it. By February or March I doubt I'll be playing as much as I'm playing right now, but still plenty of usage.

stemlfc Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I watch the games on full match. So a while for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hmm i have done 5 seasons so far, no idea how long it takes me to complete one really, i did something like 32 seasons in about a year in FM11 on my only long term save, i think ill better that this time around. Watch all games in 3D, big matches in full detail, take all press conferences, match prep, i dont leave anything at all to the assistant except arranging pre-season games and playing said games.

JimbobWWFC Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 If I'm not at work, I could do a season in a week. I watch extended highlights so a season takes me a couple of weeks. A week in football manager time could be as short as 15 minutes or real-time if there are no games going on and nothing to work on, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeesterCat Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It takes me bloody ages because I can't resist tinkering and tweaking. And poring over my scout reports in detail. I think I usually reach about the 3rd season by the time the next game is announced.* I find my close seasons take me the longest and then I speed up from Sept to Dec, slow down again for the January transfer window and then speed up again until the end of the season. *An exageration, but only a slight one.

jdrawmer Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 it's taken me about a real time week to finish a season, and i'd say that's been about 20-30 hours. I spend a lot of time when I first join in club tinkering with the training, scouting network, staff, players, youth, tactics etc. and then I tend to be fairly quick through the rest. I do the press myself (only to gain that little bit of extra motivation from players, and to avoid the assistant saying totally the wrong things), and go through my scout reports every so often. What takes me the longest is going off on tangents - clicking on a player i see in a news article, to then check out other players in their team, or their nation, and then other clubs and so on, before I realise I was in the middle of a match or actually was doing something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Hacker Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 At my peak I can get through 5 seasons a day. And as for going through a week, I don't know. Probably about 5 mins. Including holidaying past the match because that's how I roll... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gusano Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 about three seasons for every month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyewu Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I play 8 teams and will finish the 2011-12 season next June/July.....I'll never know how folks finish a season so quickly? Of course I like to play along with the season using real line-ups where I can. It's only August 13, 2011 in my world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevevdm Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I only get to play about an hour a day. I bought the game on day of release and I'm still in my first season 21 games in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter G Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I've so far done 4 seasons on one save in about a week and a half. Partly because I play it religiously at the weekends and sporadically in the week. The furthest I've ever gotten in an FM is around about 2013. I'm now in 2014 and I can see me going for a very long time yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaberdeenn Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I've owned the game 8 days and I'm in Feb 2013. When I do get the chance to play I try to play for a few hours at a time (completing at least a month or two in the process), I don't like playing a couple of games then turning off.

StevieWard Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Takes me about 3-4 months to complete a season. I bought FM2011 in December 2011 and I'm in pre season in my 5th season of my first game (I know the average doesnt work but thats what i would estimate it as). My FM 08 campaign lasted about 13 seasons I think, Aberdeen, Arsenal & Milwall, and it took about 3 years - so much so that I missed playing FM 09' & 10' altogether. I don't plan on buying FM 12' until I'm finished with this current save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
