How long should it take to holiday a season?

Hi all, i'm trying to figure out if my PC can handle all the leagues i have loaded.

I went on holiday undefinitely (while employed) for almost 3 hours and finished 2 and a half seasons so that's a bit over 1 hour for a single season. Is this an excessive amount of time and will lead to it being unplayable after a few years or will i be fine?

Iv got a top end machine mate and I just can’t see a season an hour.

It depends on how powerful your computer is and how long your patience is. When I do test holiday saves I have to leave mine on overnight to get most of the way through a season - I can't even imagine completing one in an hour.

I should be fine then i guess, really feeling for you though.

We're talking about holidaying, right? If yes then that's good to know. I have already played my new safe and it doesn't feel so slow. I was just a bit worried because my last save was literally flying but that was fm18 with fewer leagues loaded.

Not possible to answer this without knowing how many leagues and what size database.

What spec is your computer?  Do you have any other software / background processes running?

And it isn't possible to answer the question anyway.  There's no such thing as a specific "fast enough", it's all down to personal preference.  Some people are happy to load all leagues and watch it take hours and hours to process a week, and others will baulk at it taking more than a couple of minutes to holiday a season.  

Just try it and see.  No-one will be able to tell you for sure.

It entirely depends on how many leagues, how big a database and how good your machine is. When I am creating leagues and need to test them, I can run a single nation with one division in about 15 minutes for a single season (without autosaves, which can slow things down a lot). Running a regular save, with a huge database and 50 leagues loaded (that number is pulled from thin air), it would take significantly longer. I remember on FM17 or 18 (I forget), I did a save into the future to remove most known players in the world. I think I did around 12 seasons overnight, which would be around 12-13 hours of processing time. I have no idea the number of leagues, but it would not have been huge for this.

As a general rule, more leagues and more people = longer processing time and so longer to complete a season. This will also scale with the power of your machine. The slower it is, the longer it takes. There really is not a set time it should take to do a season.
