Definitely sounds like you're very similar to me tbh, a couple of years ago I tried playing FM and found it very excessive and gave up, then this year decided I will go with FMT and I think that helped me get into FM again tbh. I'm so glad I tried again with full fat FM cause I'm really enjoying it this time. 

All I will say is it is very excessive when you first get going but after you get in to a style of playing and get confirmatable with what you wanna do yourself and what you wanna delegate you'll find you'll be getting through the days quicker. Just takes time to set up. 

Yeah possibly, I used to play a lot of CM and other management games when I was younger too, I'm in my thirties now and this is the first time I've played FM since 2009. 

I’ve now moved on to a game on the full fat version and am kind of enjoying it - I would do so more if I was a bit higher. I was inspired by Sunderland Til I Die...got Curtis Jones, Anthony Gordon and Ben Johnson in on loan - I’m still only 9th! 🤷🏼‍♂️

I assumed I would find FM too time consuming and difficult to get a long with so I decided to just play FMT instead, but tbh I found myself getting bored with FMT and I didnt get to do everything I wanted to do (I feel team talks and media conversations are an important aspect of a managers job) so I missed that I couldn't do stuff like that. After getting bored I decided to go with the full version and I'm loving it now. I do delegate some stuff though , I let my chairman appoint staff and I only do individual training and leave general training to my assistant. My favourite part is media and team talks and picking my tactics and scouting. So glad I took the jump from FMT to full fat. 

Thanks, I might do the same after I upgrade my laptop. I like the media and team talk stuff, I just found myself mid-preseason after spending 3 hours of playing the game - it seemed really excessive. I just have such fond memories of the game ever since walking into a games shop with my Dad, parting with my pocket money for CM2 and having the shop owner recommend me signing Danny Murphy from Crewe. My old forums login name used to be Alex Aguinaga and I was close to making him my DoF, but he couldn’t speak English! Maybe it’s just age and the fact that I don’t get as excited by things as I used to?

Sometimes but not every time, I'll do what I need to do in the transfer market and with staff etc, schedule friendlies, change them to my AM and then holiday until the first game of the season. I wouldn't recommend that if its the first few games with tactic though, so you can tweak it before season start.

I was tempted to do that. I’m going to carry on with my FMT game with Solihull Moors and then maybe go on holiday until the season starts on my Sunderland game and give that a go on my desktop to see if the playing time is more bearable. I feel I’ve got to give it a go now that I’ve got such a strong back room team - Kim Kallstrom as Director of Football, Gary Megson, Patrice Evra, Teddy Sherrigham and Pascal Zuberbuhler as coaches and Mbo Mpenza as a scout - I’m hoping some of them might come out of retirement!

I don't get why other people enjoy the game is a problem with you?

Spot the Leeds fan!

Yeah, I need to update my laptop. It would work a lot quicker on my desktop, but the idea was to play it while watching the football on my sofa. I’m giving FMT a try now. I can’t help but feel although something in between the two would be nice!

I don’t get how people have the patience with it!?

I bought FM21 before Xmas and been playing it today, but I can’t get along with it in the slightest. I played for about 4 hours and was still only 3 preseason friendlies in. Is there any way that I can sell it on or get refunded?
