In match time clock

[JohnyBruce]

Hi all,

I wanted to ask everyone, does anyone prefer the in-match time clock to show minutes only, or the current minutes and seconds?

 

I ask this as for myself personally I just loved seeing minutes only, I find that showing the seconds is completely unnecessary and if anything, in a very very subtle way reveals too much - I prefer anticipating how long each minute may last instead of counting down 60 super quick seconds.

This may sound like a crazy question but having played CM/FM since 1998, little things like this to a purest matters.

Just to end off, no way does this ruin my experience of the game just, if (minutes only) were shown, it would up the anticipation factor a notch thus up the excitement ...as to know “exactly” when the 90th minute is up is not something I want to know.

I’ve also noticed that the very last minute sometimes goes very slow and there’s too much info squeezed into it, thus giving the impression it’s over dramatised thus less authentic that minutes 1 to 89.

Apologies for my ultra picky-ness, FM newbies must be thinking what on earth does he mean?? 😆
