Just One more game sydrome

who here suffers from the 'just one more game sydrome'

myself sometimes -but rarely

I suffer from 'just one more season' syndrome.

i have one more continue syndrome

I generally (though not always) pause at the end of a month (continuing to just before the next game) so having that sort of fixed exit point means I'm immune.

Sort of. I never quit the game when I'm on a winning streak, I wait until I draw or lose and then go and get some life.

Midnight: "Pre-season's over, my squad's sorted, i've renewed contracts, organised my coaches and training and i'm all set for the new season. Maybe I should just play the first few games, to see how we get on."

12:30: "We've started well, i'll play until 1."

01:00: "I'll play until our final European group game."

02:30: "I might as well play until the new year, then i'll save it on Jan 1st and come back to it later."

04:00: "I'll play this FA Cup game and call it a night."

04:10: "Loads of clubs are after my players, I think i'll get this January window out of the way before I go to bed."

And so on and so forth. FM is the reason i'm nocturnal.

This. Plus when I quit my last game has to be won. I don't like to quit the game being upset after losing points

Same here- dont like going to bed on a loss or dropped points. Feel grumpy for a couple of hours afterwards lol

I think it depends how I feel. If I am downstairs I could sit up till the early hours, but if I am in bed I tend to get tired, and it isnt helped by the tablets I am on which make me exhausted. More often than not in bed I am actually falling asleep during a match only to wake up to the sound of a goal .

I would sometimes sit up late and be definitely a one more match kind but less so now. I'm more than happy to stop right before a game begins, save and close the thing down and get sleep if I'm not up for playing the next match.

One more match quite often becomes 10 or 15 more for me, which is bad when I have to go to work the next morning very tired.

How do you get through half a season in just 4 hours? I'd be lucky to complete a month.

I NEVER go to sleep on a loss (at least I try my best not to)

I don't like stopping with the next fixture against a team at the top of the divison (it worries me that I am going to get spanked!!)

Only if I'm in the middle of something... say a transfer, a batch of scout reports, a game I just can't wait to play...

It usually keeps me up at least half an hour past the original deadline I had imposed myself, but it's nothing compared to the old days of PM3 and CM2/97-98 when I could complete two seasons in one afternoon+evening.

In a way, FM having become more complicated and time-consuming has limited (just a bit) the "one more game" factor. Especially because, even with Key Highlights only, said game can easily require 15 minutes...

Not so much one more game as 1 more month. I always like to finish at the end of the month, so if its say Jan 10th ill go "well its only 3 more games, ill see what my training report is at the end of this month" just because i love to see how my players have progressed. Being a student i try and get through half a season in a day.

That last game seems to never come. It's like the saying "Tomorrow Never Dies", but in a much sadder, geekier way (although with it being Football-related, it's much less geeky than with other games.....)

If only I was a student again.....................................

I hate this syndrome many a long tired day at work have been caused by FM

When I reach the point of 'one more game' and if I do that game, I usually lose

The worst is when you decide to install FM on your work laptop and keep hitting continue when you should be doing reports....

Yes all the time, end up finishing the season sometimes haha

i never exit on a loss or draw if i have time to keep playing until i get a win to end the session on. kind of the opposite of rikulec.

sometimes my 'one more game' ends up being until the end of the month, which in turn sometimes ends up being until the beginning of the transfer market

If I'm on a winning run I can't quit for fear that when I start again next time, the winning run will end immediately..

'One more game' quickly becomes 'one more week', then 'one more month', then '**** it, may as well finish the season...'

My life in a nutshell.
