Amount of loaded players

Hello all, I've got a brief question.

When I am selecting the countries and competitions at the beginning of the game, the database size says "76000 players". Next to that it says something like "exceeds the recommended amount of 75000 players". Will this be bad for the speed of my game? Or can I put some more players into the game without having problems? I never got this message, so I really don't know. I can't remember the amount of players I used to select.

The recommended amount is fairly conservative tbh.

Leagues require far more memory than players/staff due to processing results. So long as you keep the number of leagues loaded at a low level, you can get away with going over on extra players.

I've loaded every current international player in to the game using the new custom database options. It has made nearly 120 nations manageable, adding about 8000 extra players.

i loaded 90000 players only slows game start up

I run my game with around 125,000 players loaded, and all of the major leagues (England to level 10, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Holland & a few others).

My game runs pretty damn fast. The only slow down I see is during a 3D match if I have the crowd enabled, but that should have nothing to do with the size of the db loaded.

i got around 230,000 players loaded, works fine for me, i don't mind taking it slow while game is loading between the days, got my tv right next to the computer
