nine_iron Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 As far as I know this game has ended marriages and lost people a few jobs over the years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickdc Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I've done the odd 9am through till 1am sessions... though I had to cut myself off cold turkey style as it was taking over my life last time. Think I can go back in for 2013 but I'd need to being extremely disciplined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacman Jones Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 When I get a weeks holiday soon, I'll maybe try a 12 hour session with 30 min lunch and dinner breaks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky323 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 When I have a free day, I will drag myself out of bed about 11am and go on FM about 1pm and stay on it till 5pm, but I try to go on it for about an hour at least every day, I don't go for one long session normally, just on it regularly!

Respected_Boss Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I once done 6pm to 1pm the following day on FM 2007, I eventually fell asleep at my desk, snoozed for an hour, woke up and went to bad. This was back when I was self employed and had no work on. One of the reasons my gf finished with me at the time was due to too much gaming, although she blamed Knights of The Old Republic more than FM, which I was also playing like a trooper.

Gazza88 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I used to book 1 week off work once the new FM came out and play it solidly. I'd spend 8 hours of a day cooking, cleaning and sleeping, the rest was on football manager. I haven't done it since FM 2009 due to girlfriend and kids. But it wasn't uncommon for me to play FM from 5am until 1am the following morning. Surviving off ready meals and coffee. Can spend 8 hours playing at the minute (when kids are at grandparents) but only progress a month. In my current save I started it back in early march and just yesterday finished my first season.

Jeez Gazza, what are you doing that takes so long? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza88 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I have no idea mate. I watch key highlights during a game. I look at the clock when I start and it can be 8 hours later and I've progressed a month or so. I think the longest I've spent without progressing far was taking 4 hours to progress 2 weeks playing 4 matches, outside of the transfer window as well! I do go quite in depth when setting training and tactics but my game just runs slow For some reason though my FM12 has taken ages to "continue" sometimes taking 15 minutes to progress a few hours in game. I press continue and I have enough time to go for a cigarette and make a coffee and the game is still continuing (this is to progress one to two day) it has been doing this since my youth intake. I am running England down to bsn/s. Only edits is for real fixtures. Its quite strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I often book a week off in early November and get stuck into the editor. I've also taken time off in the past when The Ashes is on in Australia, I would stay up all night watching the cricket and playing FM. Would go to bed at 8am for about 4 hours, then up at midday to play FM for the next 20 hours, with all meals consumed at my desk. Can't do that anymore since moving in with my girlfriend.
