Is it (ever going to be) possible to Add a Playable League Mid-Game?

E.g. At the start I only loaded England as a playable nation - Say I have won everything in England as Man United and want a new challenge by managing an up and coming Team in either Spain (Mallorca) or Italy (Parma), it would be grea to be able to do this without having to Start a new game.

I don't think this is possible now? It would be great to be able to do this for future versions?

If I'm on my own on this, let me know!!

I dont see the point in this. Plan ahead.

Pretty sure everyone will say a yes to this, but i think it will be hard to implement

Pretty sure it is not something that can be changed.

Also, playing with just 1 nation enabled makes for a v bad sim.

Personally, I have always enabled every league in every nation.

You're on your own as far I'm concerned, as mentioned, plan ahead. May sound harsh, but thats just the way I see it!

You don't see the point? Lack of processing power on the computer seems like a perfectly valid point to me. The game might run horrendously slowly with, for example, the English, Spanish and Italian leagues all enabled...so you start off with just the English leagues enabled. There's every possibility that you'll never leave to go to Spain/Italy so you don't want the processing of those leagues to bog down your computer's speed to begin with. If you've had a good game that's gone on for several seasons, would you really want to have to start a brand new game just so you can play in La Liga because you didn't want to sit around for hours every time you clicked on "Continue"?

why would someone want to do things like that?

check your head before starting a new game.

easy.

I think the idea of adding another league or nation (evening openin up lower leagues on your current nation?) would be an excellent idea. As well as the option to remove them.

Running every lg from every country takes me about 20 hours on a 3.2 ghz core duo 2 gb ram pc.

If someone has a distinct lack of RAM, then their pc isn't able to run the game, simple as that.

I also have a 2.5 ghz 500 mb ram pc, and the game simply won't play on it at all. So it seems to be a ram question rather than a processing one, in which case, if you want to add more leagues at start of game, add more ram to your pc. These days, even 2 gb ram is not a lot.

Mixed views on this one!

Been someone who is running all the english and dutch leagues, I have found a valid point for this and would find it useful when getting international jobs, for example in my game, I am managing in the dutch league but got given the Bosnia job then the Norway job, it would of been handy to add the relevant league so I get aload of players, because picking a national squad for 79 not very good players isnt really going to work. Then when I get offered a proper international job remove the league because I wouldnt want to manage there.

But I also understand that this would be really hard to do, as the default database for each nation would be out of date.

I hope so!

I hope so too. I know, plan ahead etc. But my laptop i hit, if my game startes running slowly I might want to remove a league or two to speed it up. Then If I go to manage in a certain country, I could huffle the leaguse around again so the country I'm in has sufficient depth. The last FM/CM I was able to run every country on was 01/02 haha.

I got a newer, more powerful laptop half way through playing a long term save. I can load a lot more leagues now than I could when I started my game.

What you fire up a new savegame you're creating an FM closed universe. The AI can only work with the data you've fed into it. It isn't possible to tack on an alternative universe; the extra league has no history, no transfers, no development - at best it would massively distort the balance of the universe you've existed within since the beginning of FM time.

I've always thought the game should eventually be able to quickly simulate the "missing" part of your league, in a similar way to virtual fixtures, for example.
