    I've thought about this before and I have to say, the only thing that ever comes to mind is this:

    Nobody, in the history of the earth and all that is Championship/Football Manager has EVER sat and watched a 90 minute match in this game!

    Surely??

    I bet you there's someone out there playing in real time.

    They're probably playing Championship Manager 2002 and is now in present day Premier League.

    His team is built around Sebastien Dassler, Saloman Olembe, Kevin Hofland, Hugo Viana, David Bellion and Javi Portillo!

    Cherno Samba would've been in there but Real Madrid bought him for £100m!

    Mathew Spring, just a serious baller, making the jump from Luton to the Premiership no bother at all.

    I'm sure you'd gain much more tactical knowledge about the game and your tactics would be ridiculously advanced.

    I don't look much beyond ratings and stats to be honest. Watching the match itself is more for excitement purposes and I don't think I gain that much tactical knowledge by analysing where the 3D players move to.

    I keep meaning to put highlights on extended for Cup Finals and International Tournaments to make it more exciting but I keep forgetting.

    I have....

    And never again will I.

    THE most boring thing I've ever put myself through, and it was back in the day where you could only watch the top down view. After about the 5th minute I knew it was going to be a challenge to get to the end but, somehow I did.

    Technically, I have but i dont know why I did what I did. I started the match, watched about 10 minutes before going off and browsing the web, checking back for a few minutes every few minutes.

    Never again, gained absolutely nothing from it.
