Yeah, that's what I was guessing. Only a portion of the stadium seats is allocated for season ticket holders. Is there a reason that the number of season ticket holders still increases every year though? As far as I can tell, the away support is usually around 10% when it's at full capacity/for big games (Bayern/Dortmund). Against smaller teams when the stadium is at full capacity, I've seen away support being at 2,000-4,000 or less.

Is it normal to have a high number of people on the season ticket waiting list DESPITE the number of current season ticket holders being lower than the capacity of your stadium? For instance, at Stuttgart in 2025, I've become give or take the 2nd or 3rd most popular/reputable club in Germany. The stadium capacity is around 60,000. My average attendance is around 50-60,000 depending on who we are facing. The number of season ticket holders is around 37,000, but the waiting list is 75,000. From what I can tell over the past seasons, is that the waiting list increases at a higher rate than the number of season ticket holders. Why would the wait list be such a large number when there still is a gap of around 23,000 between season ticket holders and stadium capacity? I get that not ALL of the seats should be given to season ticket holders. Is there something IRL or some mechanism that I am missing? I am using a number of editor files though, so perhaps there's an issue there? Is anyone from vanilla experiencing the same thing?

We call that the "Dele Alli"

This isn't a massive feature or anything, but I'd greatly appreciate it if the game doesn't automatically sign new contracts on behalf of me when I'm on vacation, especially a short vacation like when I'm simming in between matches (1-14 days).

As far as I'm concerned, every league seems to be the case. Although the league I have loaded most often is the English Premier League.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not an issue with a specific save as I've been starting new save files very frequently. I'm going to try with 1) a new manager 2) different leagues. Yes. Whenever I'm testing tactics its a single league loaded with everything on fast and lowest detail possible.

I see. It's just a bit disappointing to see a typical sim with basically the most barebones setup possible take 15-20 minutes longer.

I'm running an Intel i5-10400 with the game and Documents folder saved on an NVME drive. This is the basically the same setup I had used to play FM22. I ran benchmark 1 three times, averaging a 1:09. This is with real-time antivirus turned off, cache cleared, and file integrity verified.

Right? My last one league holiday on FM23 was 35 minutes long or something. I just want to quickly test tactics man...

Just treat it as a benchmark

How long does it typically take you to sim through a single season with only one league loaded (EPL)? Everything on fast, lowest detail level, no editor files.

How many leagues are you running to justify 10 minutes per month?

I'll keep it short and sweet: the speed of holidaying in FM23 is absolutely atrocious compared to FM22. We're talking single season sims with one league loaded. I've got no editor files enabled, nothing but Discord opened, no skins, only graphics. Is this "feature" here to stay or are there plans to address this in the future?
