Sheepmaster317 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Hi, sorry if this has been asked dozens of times before, but I was wondering how long it takes you to play a season, on average. Reason I'm asking is that I went back to FM after a short break recently, I made a Spurs game and after a long, long time I'm still only in March of my first season. This is apparently after nearly 2 days of gametime (although some of it will be me leaving the laptop on for a while). So does it take people more or less time to do a season? Do you watch every match/skip between matches in seconds/analyse every bit of detail in between matchdays? Thanks, was just wondering Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I think I'm averaging about 18 hours, although it would have been a lot more than that in the early seasons when I was designing my tactics and signing lots of players. At the moment I'm watching matches on commentary only and I'm not signing anyone at all, so I'm zooming through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Between maybe a day and a half and three days, depending on how much of a hands-on approach I take and how much I'm doing at the same time. Sometimes holiday some days between games etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepmaster317 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Indeed, when I say 2 days, I mean 48 hours according to the main menu, not two nights of playing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkson01 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 12/14 hours. Lose whole weekends sometimes. now-a-days it's more like 36 hours collected Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsfanjamie Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 If I'm not doing anything else then I'll normally do roughly a season a day depending on how badly I'm doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
either and or Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I can do a season in two days if I'm not busy, but with university and stuff it takes about a week to do a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosson Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I'm on 17 days and 13 hours on my Newcastle save, approaching the end of the 2017/18 season. So lets say for sake of argument 2 days a season, which probably take me two or three weeks real time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Scots Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 it takes me like 1/2 months real time to do a season, i can do a season in a week if im bored and dont have much planned how do you people do it so quickly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGE97 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 In real time it takes about 3 or 4 days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

englandmanager Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 about 2 weeks i try to do about 3-4 games per day, i don't like to rush and i've found my success rate has gone up from when i first started Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJoe Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Was going through a season in about 8 hours when i wat playing as United. After 10 years there all i did was sign as many of the best 16yo i could find and work out my 22 man sqaud for the season. Team was so much better then the rest that all i had todo was watch matches. Now moved to a under performing Liverpool and have spend ages in the off season getting in the right players so season has taken about 12-13 hours.

Chrisy177 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Wow, how much time do some of you guys have!? Takes me about a fortnight to do one season. But I watch every match on extended highlights, and I spend quite a bit of time on tactics. A season a day! I've no idea how you could manage that.

Ty Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 It would be hard for me to say, as I have my FM saving running even when I am playing COD and stuff.. I cannot go by my game time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karp Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 It takes me at least two hours to play a game month so I guess it would be around 20 - 25 hours for a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elazulreal Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 average 1 day of game time, in real sense it depends on how much i am busy, it can vary from 2 days to 2 weeks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 17 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Generally about a day and a half (Game Time). Don't spend much time scouting myself, let my scouts do that, and once I create a tactic I like, I generally stick with it and don't change unless am on a bad run of form.

-Sandokan- Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 About a week. I spend a lot of time watching highlitghts and tweaking here and there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_numbers Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 24 hours solid playing per season (~ premiership + continental competition number of games), which is generally spread over a couple of weeks, depending on what I've got on.

Jops14 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I think maybe 10-15 hours? I can do a seaosn in a couple of days really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I've no idea how you guys play so quickly. I watch matches on 'extended' and spend quite a bit of time on everything really. I don't like to rush; I like to take my time! I think I would have to play for about three or four days solid, without doing much else, to finish a season. As it is, it usually takes me a few weeks to complete a season. Personally, I couldn't watch only commentary, as it would spoil the game for me and I probably wouldn't do as well! I'm very into the tactical side of things so I like to spend quite a bit of time watching the matches and analysing them etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Hacker Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I'd like to change what I said earlier, I have 37 leagues from 16 different countries loaded and I am watching all matches with extended highlights. Minimal holiday time too. On my second solid day of playing and have only just finished a season. I need to manage llm style more often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I run most leagues in Europe have all players loaded from all continents (280,000+), I watch on extended highlights and I have just finished the 2012/13 season making my total time on this game 7 days 6 hours and 54 mins! I was playing on a sony vaio cs11s/q intel core 2 duo with 4GB ram - however, I have just upgraded and an now playing on a macbook pro 17" i7 with 8GB ram!
