theboydonegood Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I like the depth of football manager and I like watching 3d match view from time to time but I have quite a hectic life and dont get much time to play, I often find myself setting the team up starting the match and then going on holiday for 1 day. I would love a result only button so that users had the option to play the game a bit quicker rather than holidaying, I have read on other forums and in the off topic forum FM thread that other users would like the same thing. I cant imagine it would take much to code and the great thing is if you dont want to use the option you can just carry on and never use it, so its great for people like me how dont ahve time to watcgh all the 3d highlights but it doesnt affect the purists who would not want to play this way?

taylorsmen Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Rare that i holiday in the game, but i can see some people liking this and it can't do any harm if it was introduced. Good idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeemi2009 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Agree. This needs to be implemented. There was a similar thing in Championship Manager 2010, where you could just watch the goals. Match is over in like 30 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_aLex Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 this would be great for me...even though i like the 3D match engine, i simply do not have the time to sit and watch every game in it...so this would be great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGulls Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Agree with this one also, like previously mentioned you don't have to use it but if people want to play a quick game then this would be ideal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Lane Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I remember they had this feature in Ultimate Soccer Manager 98/99 - But I cant see it being implemented as what your suggesting appears to be the same as going on holiday for a day and ticking the 'use current tactics' button. Its effectively the same thing that may (or may not) take a bit longer... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidmonkey Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 im all for it some times is frustrating playing meaning less league games (e.g. if the title is won with X games to spare) and if people dont wann use it dont press the button and im sure there would be a skin released with the button take out aswell.

RBKalle Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I'm all for it too... As long as we can have a couple of additional instructions for the match... like "switch to Match Preparation Tactic 1/2/3 depending on result" "substitute players with poor rating after the 60th minute" "substitute players with low condition" "substitute player X with player Y at the Nth minute" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krald Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I holiday a lot, because sometimes I'm more interested in seeing how my players progress, and advancing the team, and I can do this well enough by letting my assistant handle most of the match-day stuff. I do still play a lot of games, especially in my EPL save with Truro, but on Knockbreda northern ireland save if i want to get anywhere I have to holiday so I can progress quicker, and try and raise the league rep. I enjoy both ways, for different moods, hence I have both saves, but I dont like holidaying because I miss out on bids and I dont have the option of press conferences which can mean player relations suffer a bit. I dont like press conferences, but I like what they can do to make players like you. So for me, a "auto-calculate result" button would be very useful for me and help complement one of the ways I like to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdpoo Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Because it is more convenient than setting the match to "commentary only" and speeding it up. Which obviously is not prohibited and is used by some people to quickly get over a game, why not make it easier? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylorsmen Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 holiday 1 day?I think he already said in the first post that he does go on holiday for 1 day, what i think he means is holidaying the result and returning the same day after the match.

Kenco Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Perhaps it just needs a holiday "just this match" button, in addition to the other holiday settings. Personally I wouldn't ever use a instant result button, because you would lose the option to make changes during a match. I appreciate that some people don't have much time, but watching the game and making changes as the game is flowing is a massive part of being a football manager, and probably the most exciting part, so I would never give that up. Instead to save time in the game I allow my assistant to attend press conferences on my behalf and set oppostion instructions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wigmore Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I remember they had this feature in Ultimate Soccer Manager 98/99 I'm glad someone said this, I was trying to think for ages what game it was this feature reminded me of.

Thoughts Why dont you choose "commentary only" from the menu instead. That way, you dont watch the games in 2D or 3D, just like the old times. The last two years i have used commentary only and everything else is handled by my assitance, i.e opposition instructions, match preparation, motivational talk etc. and i enjoy the game as much as i did back in cm99/00. Seasons go fast and you still feel that you can intervene the match in commentary only mode... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krald Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Not quick enough, apparently.

milnerpoint Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 would this be much different to holidaying a game? Or would you want to still control press conferences? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiepope Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 To make matches even quicker while still maintaining control of tactics and subs, could you not have an option to fly through minutes without any commentary, ie information on just goals, match stats and yellow/red cards? This would make matches even quicker while maintaing a certain degree of control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert the Spud Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm not sure why this idea get's such a great response. There is barely anything that you can do when holidaying for that 24hr that would effect anything in any case. Just holiday, no need to bother implementing this feature.

It's just the simplicity of it. Instead of finding holiday, setting it all for just the one day and so on... It's Easier and Simpler to just click a 'Result Only' button. I think it would be a good little addition, don't know when i'd use it to be honest as i like being in control. But if a lot love it, then why not.

theboydonegood Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 The reason that this would be better than holidaying is that it would just be one button and would take you to the end of the game rather than 24 hours later and would be more intuitive.
