How long does it take you to finish a season?

This is sad, took me 1-2 days the last season.

Normally takes me a week.

16 hours per season

Really lol wow you need to eat man.

I wont vote, because it depends. If I've got a day off work, and nothing to do, I'll finish it within that day. If I'm working and busy outside of work, could be anywhere between 3 and 10 days.

I take around 2 weeks.. I usually take 10-14 hours (game time and depends on the team) to finish a season.

It takes me ages cos i dont go on it for more than 3 hours at a time

Depends what I'm doing and what I've got it set up as, on average a season takes 24 hours if I've got key highlights on. If I have just text commentary it drops to 15 hours (shocking that in a season theres 9 hours of highlights or highlight related delays) so sometimes if I'm sat at home with not a lot to do I can do a season in 3 days.

Really lol wow you need to eat man.

If that was for me

Well,I only get time to play it in the weekends,and then,I dont let anything come in between:D

I was going to start the exact same thread

Around 22 hours

A couple weeks or so. I have other stuff to do like assignments and even when I am playing FM I go at a slow pace. I like to look at stats and how other players and teams are doing

I have only completed one full season in FM09 and that was with AC Milan and it took me just over 1 day! Lol.

If I go full at it which I usually do it takes me around 8-9 hours. A priviledge that cost me a fortune lol

1-3 days in game time, as for irl time then it depends if im in the mood to play

It takes me a month but that is still playing hours every day. I just go into waaay to much detail and I write everything down.

Wow. That's kinda over the top.

Taking a month to do a season is over the top especially if you are playing it for hours.

a couple of months. i play a couple hours here and there and i like to go over stuff i think taking a day or two is rushing it too much but then people may say i take too long.

i used to do a season in a week or so but really as much as i love fm i just not going to sit on computer for marathon sessions

On weekends or whenever I'm off work, I can run through a season in a day. During the week, it will take 2-3 days depending on what else I have to do. I started my current game last weekend when I was off for the Thanksgiving holiday and I'm now in the 2014-15 season.

when I procrastinate my schoolwork on the weekends, each season takes 1-2 days holiday-ing through most games. (though with MLS I can often finish 2 seasons in one day holiday-ing over most of the offseason in 08)

About 3 weeks, I watch extended most of the time so each match take some time. And I usually play for 6-7 hours and then don't touch the game for many days.

A season usually takes me 24 hours.

I can finish it within 2 days if I'm on holiday but a bit more than a week is fair if I have to deal with school stuff.

Two weeks to a month. I did my first season in about a week but that's cos i'd booked a week off work after release day

I also find managing an English team (at any level) or any team in Euro competition takes longer, as games come on average every 3-4 days. When I'm managing a lower league continental side with at most a match per week I fly through seasons a lot quicker.

i disagree with the voting options at the top because i fit in to the 'do nothing else but play fm' catergory, and when im not playing im on here, yet it still takes me a good few weeks cos im so slow and thorough.

i watch matches slowly and take my time.

my borother recently came up , whoipped through a season in 2 days, won everything with liverpool n got bored, in this time i played about5 games!

It takes me a month at least, but that was with 08. I only get about 30 mins a night, so it will probably take a couple of months to finish a season in 09.

usually 1-3 days

(FM is a great cure for late night boredom, and i think i may be a certifiable insomniac so i play a LOT)

Varies, depends on how much I am enjoying the game atm. Can be 2 to 3 days or sometimes months.

I wont vote, because it depends. If I've got a day off work, and nothing to do, I'll finish it within that day. If I'm working and busy outside of work, could be anywhere between 3 and 10 days.

Good point m8!!!

The poll is actually set up wrongly, if you read most posts it seems to take roughly 10-16 hours of game time.

It should be set up for game hours per season.

Personally, I'm married with children, so I get a couple hours most nights after everyone in bed, approx 11pm-1am, with weekends being totally dependant on how busy I am. This weekend being only couple weeks to Xmas my pc, never mind Fm2009, hasn't been on at all, just too much else to do. But in general a sesaon takes me roughly a week.

i play for a season around 2 days...but it depends...cause if i have a free day, i can make 2 seasons in one day...but usually, a season will end for me in about 6 hours(3-4 hours in a day-sometimes more/less and the other in the other day)...but as i said, i can make 2 seasons in a day, if i am in the mood

last season took me 4 days because the games are getting easier.

i don't know how many hours gametime that is...

(24-32hrs? i play about 6 hrs a day, sometimes 8)

I never play the same game for a month or more, so I only ever get around 3 seasons done

Normally over a month has taken me about 2 weeks to get 15 games through my current game

Two weeks ish as I am not always on FM and I don't rush through my season.

Months, nowadays.

I usually have to force myself to go on its got that slow and tedious.

Not a good sign. Let's hope S.I. take on board the UI and tactics module interface criticisms.

I take about 3 weeks but thats because I watch every game in 3D and on normal speed, I find that you get to know each team better and also you get to know other teams players as well.

Usually takes a month, 3 weeks at the earliest. I am not that busy but I like to take things slow and actually enjoy the game.

I have 36 leagues over 70 countries loaded on my P4 3.4ghz machine ... each continue takes between 1-5 minutes. A season takes me about two weeks.

I have(and I am not showing off here) a proper gamming system as I play alot of different games,this game runs really fast for me but as it has so much micro management it took me 21hours of game time to play 1 season,it was a successful season as I got Ipswich promotted but I cant for the life of me get into the game when it is like this,I have kept my Ipswich save and tried many other teams but if I dont micro manage I cant be successful,I will wait for the patch and pray I get that pick up and play feeling again and not the pick up and plough I have now.

A Week (almost through my 3rd season and I got it 5 days after release).

Reasons... work, gf, social life, had to repair my pc after a loss against Real Madrid (I just hate them, oooh I really hate them).. In addition, I'm probably reading on the forums for around 50 % of the time I'm playing lol.

It has took me (game time) 1 day and 3 hours to get up to February 09 with Redditch , after starting unemployed , i was offerd the Redditch job in September . I like to go into detail e.g. Keep an eye on my reserves/academy , arrange training etc

takes about a month, i play almost every day, jsut go pretty in depth, and im running over 30 leagues!

first seasons always the longest, but it usually gets quicker after the first.

couple of weeks a season roughly

I'm not one for going into too much detail with the game, but it's already taken me 13 hours to get to November

I miss the old CM days where I finished a season in 2-4 hours...

Now I use between 12 and 20 hours per season.

it depends if i get really involved in a season, sometimes i can finish a season in a night, but thats rare.

Now i tend to take my time and enjoy the aspects of the season.

seriously?? it usually takes me 2-3 weeks to finish a season and i will play a few hours a day, maybe 3 - 5. I like to immerse myself in the game, especially when it comes to transfer dealing and scouting young talent.

Can anyone give me any tips on how to speed everything up.. Do you use pre-saved selections and tactics for every game? Match speed? Commentary only? I think i get too obsessed when it comes to team selection and tactics

it takes me ages as i play on extended highlights and slow down the match action. Every game is vital and so enjoyable.

i would say approx 30-35 hours of game time per season. I dont get as much time as i used to 5 years ago, i normally play 2-3 hour sessions and i only get to play these once every 2/3 weeks!!!

The odd time if i have weekend to myself, then i can play from 3pm saturday until 3am......and amazingly i never feel tired (as i would if i was watching tv). Those were the days.

If I start a season with a team, it doesn't take me more than a week. Usually 2-4 days. I should get a life, huh? :/

It takes me a week!

More than month as I am playing for Aston Villa and for York simultaneously. I just want to experience Premier League success and LLM success together in one game.
