antigravity83 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I've played FM15 more than i've ever played any other CM/FM before- playing it more than I should over the past year. I'm currently managing AFC Fylde, and have done now for 2038 days (284 Games). This is without any holidays (workaholic apparently). I've been able to get the team promoted twice, and we are currently playing in League 2. How long have you managed a single club? And what success did you have?

Kalemlyco Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I once Managed Citizens in Hong Kong for about 12 years. No holidays during that period and I took them from fighting for survival to winning the Hong Kong Premier League and all the cups. Was well chuffed.

Miravlix Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Think I just had my 800 game aniversary. 11 years with Spurs Took me by surprise that I won PRM and Euro Cup the first game year, I think that should be impossible with Spurs real world squad. Eriksen is one of the best players in the FM15 database for some reason, he single handedly create chances in so waste quantities it's insane (50+ is registered as assists, god knows how many time the intended score fail to score). I gone on to the most insane PRM and Champions Cup dominance spell after that, with the help of purchasing Naymar that Barca for some idiotic reason suddenly sold for 66€. Now I'm at the point the old guard is all retiring and I'm learning that using Spurs as a base for regen development hasn't been entirely successful. Lot's of performance issues from stat wise super players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavo01 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Managed Queens Park for ten years, 2013-2023, only got them as far as the League 1 and a Challenge Cup final, which we lost to Dunfermiline 2-1. Then managed Dynamo Dresden, 2024-2028, got them to 1 Bundesliga and whilst struggling at the foot of the league promptly left for.... ....CS Maritimo, 2028-2031(Present). I've managed to win the League Cup once, runner up in the League Cup once and qualified for Europa League for the last two seasons running. I have applied for many jobs, and have even been offered the Cardiff City job recently. But I like managing in Portugal. Well who wouldn't? What with their all year round sunshine and tasty wine selection, its a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Around 40 years on a couple of previous saves with Lincoln Red Imps, and around the 20 year mark on my final one for FM15. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllu Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 My personal best is ca. 35 seasons with SønderjyskE on FM13, but that is nowhere near the record. For instance, dafuge's current Canvey Island save is in its 60th season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 50 years on FM10 and 20 years so far on FM15 both with my created club. In a journeyman save 5 years at Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miravlix Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Didn't someone post a 1000 year save or was it just 100, but the op is talking about managing. I don't understand how you can have enough time in a life to actively manage clubs for 50 or 100 years during a generation of FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ 01/02 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm currently in my 12th year at york city. We're defending the premier league title (won it last year) , and have won the uefa cup (last year) and fa cup (2 seasons ago). I've just drawn with real madrid at the bernabeu, something I'm quite proud of. I'm hoping to get at least one more year in charge before fm 16 comes out.

Hootieleece Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I'm still playing my first save. I am on my second manager. I play as a journeyman manager. Start at the bottom and try to work my way up. It is the year 2063. I've been at AS-St. Etienne for 8 years. I was at Bari for 10 years and set them up for AI Dominance with my first manager. I won Serie A 4 times, won the Italian Cup 4 times and the Super Cup twice. I won the EuroCup once (the year we hosted) and made the semifinals of the Champions League. Trying to take them down a notch or two with a different club. I enjoy playing with newgens because you don't know who the good players are.........

Lawlore Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 For FM15, longest time at a club is 706 days. It'd be nice to make it into the third season with the same club, just once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdiatmh Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Didn't someone post a 1000 year save or was it just 100, but the op is talking about managing.I don't understand how you can have enough time in a life to actively manage clubs for 50 or 100 years during a generation of FM. I tend to rattle through a season within around 15 hours (normal season, the first season normally takes around 20-24, with player signings/scouting/staff/tactic) of course, you can also massively streamline it based on where you manage (no holidays in the Prem, compared to taking holidays with a dominant HongKong side and only playing continental fixtures) depends how often you play it too 15 hours means you can get through 3-4 seasons per month (1-2 hours per weekday, and then 5 hours on Sat&Sun) and then 4 weeks, giving a total of 4-8 hours (or roughly half a season) during the weekdays and then 40 hours (or 2.5 seasons) during the weekend obviously, you can play it more, but that kinda works while still maintaining some kind of social life (7:30-9pm during the week, and then in the morning on the weekend) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllu Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I don't understand how you can have enough time in a life to actively manage clubs for 50 or 100 years during a generation of FM. It's not like the game self-destructs and becomes unplayable one year after its release. I'm still playing FM13, played FM10 before that and generally only buy a new version every three years...

Overmars Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 After 3-4 seasons, I generally want to leave to take on a new reclamation/improvement project. I think this is in part due to the fact that I am extremely loyal to my real-life employer and get my "new job" fix from FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 With FM14 i managed Cambridge United for 43 years. It was the first time i'd managed a club for more than five years and loved every second of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubibeen69 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 2013: eight seasons with Montreal, and I played with Rooney. 2001, about 14 seasons with Charleroi in Belgium. I bought Ballack, I remember... What a team ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Around 36 seasons with Newcastle Town on FM11. Started in the Northern Premier League First Division South. Managed one season in the Premier League - my last one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowieinspace Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I do a save with Athletic Bilbao every year - tends to be long term due to their home grown player regulations, and I play not allowing any Spanish under 18 signings (have to have Basque nationality) so it's a slow burner. Usually takes me around 4 or 5 seasons to beat both Barca and Madrid in the league unless they both have a shocker of a season. With one of them normally getting close to 100 points you have to have a pretty dominant team to win the league. So much time goes into a home grown save though when it pays off they're the most satisfying saves I've done. I like having the option to buy other basque players too so it's not 100% only my academy players, which adds a bit of transfer interest. On FM15 I'm currently in 2033 and usually go about the same distance on each FM. Waiting for FM16 now to start again!! Can't believe I'm not bored of it to be honest I do the same thing every year!! Think I'm on about 700 hours played according to steam, not sure how accurate that is as I play offline a fair bit. I've seen some monster saves though with people going 10-20 years beyond that - incredible dedication! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius_R Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 On FM15, 1671 days and counting at Hamburg SV, just won the Bundesliga and the Europa League (2017-2018 season). Most I`ve spent at a club was almost 30 years at Everton on FM07, and I miserably failed at winning the Premier League. Not even once did I win it.
