How did you work out the time period? 1-2 years?

People usually simulate/play about 10-20 years of Football Manager, although you always have crazy "what happens 50 years from now" videos and stories:

We have two kinds of servers.

• Public servers: different instances running at different intervals to cater for people's time requirements
• Private servers: you can also start a private game, as you would with Football Manager. You might just simulate 1-2 years, start again or get a long term group game going with your friends.

So the shelf life is a lot longer than 1-2 years I would hope
