Magnakai Haaskivi Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 How's the speed with that? And what did the little "star" speed indicator say when you were setting it up? My specs are: Intel Core 2 Quad Core Q8300 @ 2.50 GHz 6 GB RAM ATI Radeon HD 3650 256 MB RAM Vista XP-64 bit I was hoping to do twenty countries, but the little "star" indicator thing said I'd have about half a star of speed. The more I thought about it, though, the less I thought that sounded right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnakai Haaskivi Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 All? Twenty?I usually just run the big leagues: England, Italy, Spain, Germany (and maybe France, Holland and Portugal) I usually do that, too, but if I CAN have more I might as well do it. Plus, player scouting's more fun when you're actually scouting leagues that are active, and if you have just one team from CONMEBOL, AFC, and CONCACAF than you get their Champions Leagues, which makes for more opportunities for scouts to look for players. Another question: Can I make a "View Only" league "Playable" at a later point in time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilyoshi Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Leagues: English leagues down to level 9 (playable) The top division of every other nation in europe (view only) db: Custom (Large, Players with english nationaity, all players in top divsion clubs. Speed rating: 2 stars Comments: I never want to mange a side outside of england but I do like keeping tabs on other leagues which is why they are view only, loading all players in top divsion clubs also helps. I wanted the league system in England as good as possible so I loaded all players with English nationaity. I find this setup to be good and not to slow as long as you have decent specs.

Neopherus Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 England, France, Spain, Norway, Germany, Russia and Italy. At least two leagues from each nation. I'm quite happy with that, although I will try a game with every single nation and league later. I doubt it'll work though, since my Vista is 32 bit, which means that I only get 3GB of the 4 GB available. And I'm playing on a semi-secondhand laptop.

The new editor system using files? GENIUS. updated Saints with Connolly, Antonio etc, made plenty of transfer changes and used a competition editor to be able to manage right down to Sydenhams Wessex 1 (Level 10 of English football pyramid) I am Fareham Town with a full squad of real players :-o This is incredible. :-o Thank you SI, thank you.

I still only played for about 2 weeks in the game but everything is running just fine, the screen goes black for a moment when processing through the fixtures and days but it doesn't affect the game and i have not noticed the computer being overworked. I surf internet with several tabs and it's no problem at all. But i guess i need to see later when in the middle of full season how the fast or slow it goes.

deltablue Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Small database. England to BSP, Germany, France, Italy and Spain down to 2nd level, and top divisions for all continental leagues on double figure league reps. And Poland as I didn't realize how drastically their rep had been cut. Did minimize game to check if Gundo's thread was up so I could check but it wasn't at the time. Anyway 1 extra small league isn't too much of a problem. Only 2Ghz (and 4GB RAM, though I've heard FM will only use up to 2GB) but the speed hasn't been too bad, either that or I've been playing at pretty slow speed pretty much the entire time I've been doing FM. I've shifted away recently from all leagues in bigger nations to a wider spread of top divisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deviance Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I can't help but think that this is a "look at my lovely PC specs" thread Currently only running England (all divisions) and Scotland (3rd and above) With a large custom database. I've not had the game long enough to experiment and just wanted to dive in and get playing. I don't doubt I can (and probably will) run a game with most leagues (most that matter anyway) when I've got a season under my belt. My system is (look at my mediocre PC specs) AMD X2 5200+BE 2.7ghz 8Gb Corsair XMS2 800mhz ram XFX 8800 GTS 640mb graphics, 2 of those in SLI Windows 7 ultimate 64bit. As you can see in this screenshot I'm playing whilst having 32 tabs open in Firefox, running Tweetdeck for twitter and running photoshop ( which is pretty much on 24/7 for me, being as I do digital art. ) my ram usage is still no more than 60% and the cpu usage fluctuates between 40% idles game and 90% during processing but the game runs quite fast. Sometimes there appears to be a little lag between pressing continue and the machine starting processing and that was not there in the demo but I don't know if that is an idiosyncrasy of the full game or it is my old system struggling to keep up, but we are talking a few seconds and not at all painful. I edited the picture to show the 3d rating which is five stars. I have no idea what the star rating was at the start of the new game as to be honest I did not even notice it there. http://twitpic.com/nv0ap (click view full size to read) I will try a game soon with a high amount of leagues and database items for comparison and post some details later if anyone is interested in that stuff but I know this same system ran a game of full leagues in FM09 with huge database and ran with no problems at all.

Deviance Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I never understood the difference between "playable" and "view-only", accept that under "playable" it loads more players in that league wich was chosen as "playable". Playable just means that at any point during the game you are able to manage a team that is in that league whereas view-only means you can never actively play in that league but the players from it are available to the game database.
