Dench57 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Just interested to see how other people watch matches play out. I use "Extended" highlights in 3D and set the speed slider one before fastest, so slightly quicker than real life. I'm guessing there's people who don't watch 3D matches at all and just stick to sped up commentary. I've heard of people watching Champs League finals and such on "Full" mode at real life speed!

Dar2000 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I use 'Extended' or 'Comprehensive' with the same speed as you. I switch between 3D and 2D, but I find it easier to see tactical issues in 2D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robwesty85 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I watch 3D in extended mode and one notch towards fast from the centre. I used to always watch Key but upped it to high from FM13 onwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan1991 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I watch Key Highlights in 2D mode. Probably why i'm always losing, probably switch to extended when the patch comes out in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Extended, 3 clicks left of max speed. Zoomed Vertical Scrolling. Holidaying between matches as soon as I am done signing players and stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneronaldo Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Comprehensive, Close/TV Camera, Speed is about 2-3 clicks left of Max. I like to see my players upclose and alot of time during a match to see what they are doing wrong/right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilSaint Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 sadly on commentary only. I started by watching full matches for quite some time, but I just can't find the time anymore. I want to advance my save faster & have little spare time, so it's just commentary for me nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jme10 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Extended, 2 clicks above middle. Like to watch the games for tactical adjustments and so on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trents Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Through my fingers usually I usually leave a little hole between my fingers to see the oppo score and pray the number doesn't change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagenham_Dave Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Depends on the save. Usually I'll watch the 3D engine, but on my current save, I'm using 2D classic, with close-cam 3D for replays. It's funny, but on some saves, I can't imagine watching the games any other way than I have done. For example, on my Bradford save on FM13, I watch all the games on (new) 2D. I tried watching a game on 3D but it just didn't feel right, even though I watch other saves that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fond Foat Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Full match 2D classic with close cam for goal replays. The tension builds ever so nicely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Comprehensive highlights at default speed. Camera I play around with but "Main Stand" seems to be my preference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTomek Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Guys have you ever seen the 2D difference between tutorial and the main game? Tutorial shows players instead of icons. The main game in match view shows only icons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Comprehensive or Extended, with one notch towards faster from the centre. Mainly use Elevated cam. I adjust tactics during a match when needed so generally need to know what's happening. I sometimes use Full Match for big games like a final, especially when I know it'll be tight. When I know I will coast a game then I'll put it on full speed and extended. I will put it back to my normal speed if we concede. I rarely do this until a few seasons in when I've built a dynasty and know my opposition though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saiyaman Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Watching Full Match gives you a lot of chances to somehow beat the AI. I suggest you have a look at full match and tweak your instructions and just go back to Key when it's proven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tresfainent Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Commentary only with goals on replay. If it is Champions League final or World Cup final or some other massive match I will put it on key highlights only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchWhisky Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Key plays only for me. I don't know enough about football in general to be able to detect problems and fix them. Usually my tactic is to play one way for 45 minutes. If I am leading or tied, then keep those tactics til the 60 min mark. Then I switch them to something a bit different in most cases. Seems to help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
patootie Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Full match in real time speed except in friendlies. I like my games to be as immersive as possible, giving out shouts and changing tactics on the fly. That's why a season of FM for me takes about 2 months.
