Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***
I didn't necessarily check start to finish, but I'd say about 60-70 min? I put it up a notch or two on the speed, but not too fast. Also it skips time when there's throw ins and corners, doesn't just watch them walk to the ball. Since the game is under full match, I let it play behind the tactics screen when I'm making changes.
But, the time flew because I was sucked in to the match and trying to make tweaks here and there to help the team. For example, P'boro was a team that had really short players. So before the match I had my RWB put more crosses in under his individual tactic...I then read the analysis tab throughout the game, which led me to having my team solely float crosses since we were winning most of the headers. That led to my 2nd goal off a free kick which tied the game at 2.
I also changed my RW to attack from support (just from watching him get stuck a few times by the LB, instead of getting in open space to cross) and it led to a clear cut chance in stoppage time. We didn't convert, but I never would have done that without watching the whole thing since it would have never showed him messing up a few times.
Maybe for some of you, this is the amount of detail you put into each game, but for me I felt like I could really make informed, smart decisions to help the team, and at a clip that gave me a better chance then watching on extended highlights.
