How do you guys usually play? Do you manager the whole game?

Big games yes, but usuallly i set to key plays only, I do not have time to manage a full game in real time.

I do key plays, and on big games I do extended. I switch to real time in big games or games I need to win if, for example, I'm losing and am switching to counter attack. I'm not going to see if it has a big impact if ten minutes zoom by the clock without any "key action."

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Well, it's quite clear that I have taken Leicester City as far as I can. After a great year in the championship and managing to keep Leicester from being relegated the first year, I'm getting absolutely demolished, the board is refusing to free up money and won't invest money into the youth. After last year accepting a 3 year deal, I decided that they should get a new voice and have since moved on.

My biggest problem, however, is that I had to settle getting a job in Series B! Bologna from Series B offered me a job mid year and I have accepted it. It's basically a 6 month job where I am praying I get them promoted.

After that, see what frees up in the offseason, be it club or international football.

Still...very disappointed that Leicester didn't work out the way I wanted it. I built the team for the future and if they don't at least qualify for Europa play once, I'd be pretty pissed that the follow up manager sucked at his job.

Don't be surprised when he sells all of your good players, I hate when that happens.

Although Portland used my signings to lead them to multiple MLS titles and their current manager is in the USA Hall of fame.

If you get out of that group, you should consider yourself very lucky. Germany and Serbia is enough, but adding Chile...yikes.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

I also won my third straight liga postabon title. The league is broken into 2 phases; so I won phase II in 2012, and phase I & II in 2013, along with 2013 copa postabon. I get into Copa Sudamericana and Copa Liberadores. With 2013 Gold Cup win with Team USA, 2013 was a good year, going to start shopping a new job at bigger club maybe, or MLS.

No added pressure, but I got Team USA rank up to 6th in world!!

Terribly unlucky to not be pot one in that case. And Colombia were pot one, weird.
