weeeman27bob Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 How often do you save your game whilst playing FM? Personally I save around every 3 weeks/month. However if i do something good, like win the Fa cup or league, then I save after that. I'll make a poll for this if enough interest gets going.

jod123 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Monthly auto save but I do save after important events as well like winning the Champions League, League etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 every week. that way if something does go wrong, ie booting the power socket, like i have a habit of doing, then i dont lose too much. also, it might just be me, but i feel it does it quicker, cos there isnt so much to save...

Smac Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I save quite often. If I spend 30 minutes setting up tutoring, or scouting, or whatever, the last thing I want to do is do it all again. Probably 30 named saves a season then I delete all but 3 or so as I move on. Keeping a few to track progress of players or in the off chance I decide to go back and take the team in a different direction for funsies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 After every match, plus two week auto save. I started doing this after I got a powercut after a match I lost. I reloaded, and won. I felt guilty afterwards, so I threw the next match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeeman27bob Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 When I very first bought the game, this is my first version of FM, I played a game with Liverpool. I lost the first game of the season to Blackburn, and i didn't like it. After that I used to save before every game, incase I didn't win. In the FA cup final against Arsenal I had to reload a stupid amount of times. However I soon worked out that the game wasn't meant to be played like that. So now I save every time it feels right, as well as having a monthly auto save Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquez Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I generally try to save after every game, or after a great signing, a lucky event etc. (like my fierce rival's main striker getting injured!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB-forever Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Weekly auto save. Especially because it doesn't take very long to save now with my (almost not new anymore) laptop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 There was a time when I used to save before each match. But that increased the temptation to re-load, so these days I always save right after each match instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryseaess Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I save about every 3-4 weeks. That way I know that I won't have to go back too far if something happens to my PC. But also, like other people have said, I save after important events aswell e.g. Winning Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
