Player overdoes it on Football Manager, gambles 10,887 hours to 2546 – world record

earthpressnews

In the football simulation “Football Manager” (Steam) players tear off enormous hours. But a Polish coach has now totally overdone it: since January 2018 he has been playing a game that has now reached 10,887 hours. The numbers are gigantic. The Guinness Book of Records reports: World record.

What do you do in Football Manager?

  • In Football Manager you live a career as a coach/manager, you can take over teams, pull through transfers, determine training, set tactics, scout and develop talent, expand the stadium and switch to other clubs when there’s nothing left to do at the old one.
  • The special thing about the game is that you “play with the real stars”. But when Ronaldo, Messi and Thomas Müller inevitably end their careers due to age, computer-generated young players follow.
  • The allure of Football Manager is proving that you could do the job better than the whistle that blows it in the real world and that with the right transfers and the perfect training, you can lead “your team” to success.

    Old record of a German was pulverized

    What’s the record now? As reported by the Guinness Book of World Records, Polish player Pawel Siciński has set a new world record for “longest single game”:

  • He has been playing since January 2018
  • To date, he has invested 10,887 hours in his game – that’s 453 days and 15 hours.
  • He led the game to the virtual year 2564. The target date is May 21, 2545.

    • Who now thinks: I can do that too and simply have 600 years simulated: There is a rule that you can only “go on vacation” for 5% of the playing time, you have to do the other 95% yourself.

    The man tore off 528 seasons and won 1,386 titles.

    What was the previous record? The Guinness Book reports that the German Sepp Hedel previously held the record: he played 333 virtual years and invested 1,964 hours in the game.

    So the Pole has far surpassed him.

    What did the Pole achieve in the game? The Guinness Book reports:

  • He has played 25,084 matches and won 75% of them
  • He was manager at the Icelandic club Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar for 310 years and won 301 championships there, as well as numerous other national and international cups.
  • His stadium there in the Icelandic province holds 140,000 spectators. The capital of Iceland has only 122,000 inhabitants “in real life”. But who knows how that will develop in the year 2500 (via twitter).

    • In addition to the Icelandic club, the Pole also coached big clubs like PSG, Manchester City and Arsenal during his career.

    He says:

    “I love the lesser known leagues and have been interested in them since I was a kid, plus I like finding success with completely unknown clubs. That brings me friends and satisfaction.”

    In the next Football Manager comes a change that will also make the record holder really happy. Because there is no reason to start a new game:
