an idea for the developer [Slow Motion ?]

Postby gironachos » 26 Mar 2026, 11:59

Hi! First of all, congratulations on TE4—really beautiful. It would be nice, since the game can feel a bit too fast for some players, to have the option to adjust the game speed by percentage. The ability to select a parameter that controls slow motion would be great. It would be useful to set it at -5% or -10% compared to normal, especially for practicing at the beginning, or simply to have a slightly slower and more enjoyable, accessible experience. Please really consider it. Bye!

Yes! Hi again! Just to clarify: this would be an optional setting, only for practice or casual play, not affecting career or competitive mode. It would help beginners or anyone wanting to enjoy the game at a slightly slower pace, without altering the core physics or realism. Thank you for considering this possibility!

you can select "fair mode" in the training club settings, it limits the power and speed of everything, it feels "slow mo" compared to realistic or free mode

gironachos,
you should slow down the game by lowering your opponent's difficulty level (in Character Sheet -> 2nd Player), and possibly lowering your skills.

If you really want to play in slow motion, it's possible to play at -25% by activating the DevMode (HowTo => topic19-32161.php ), and pressing Right Shift + / (on the numpad) ; it's changeable in Settings -> Controls -> Shortcuts.

Hi manu, thanks for the response. I've enabled Dev Mode, but I can't figure out where to press the "Shift" + "/" keys. I'd like to know what the option is called in the "Shortcuts" section so I can find it. Thanks

found it. 25% i think it’s too slow for what i mean. 5/10% slow mo would be great

For a 5~10% slowdown, just lower the CPU level, and you'll get a similar but more realistic result (ie: the physics won't be in slow motion).
