2100 and beyond with the top 5 leagues

After trying Iceland for over 2850 years, I wanted some of the bigger leagues to be the focus of my next holidaying project. I decided to load all the leagues of England, Spain, Italy, Germany, and France to see what would happen with them over time. Obviously it is going a bit more slowly than with just Iceland running, but I have passed 2100 and am on track for 2127 by the end of the day. This first update focuses on what has happened up to 2099. While these 5 leagues remain the tops in Europe, there has been some switching back and forth among them. England and Italy have had a bit of variety in their top flights. Spain's big 4 have been Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Valencia. Germany has been dominated by Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen with Dortmund providing the main competition. France has mostly been a battle between Lyon and Marseille although a number of teams have contended behind them. Money is really flowing at the top clubs, especially now that a number of them have 100000+ seat stadiums. As before, the save games will trickle out slowly along with the updates and I will be providing a number of screenshots. Here we go on those:

Fantastic. Its a pity that there's little variation in league winners, especially in England. You'd hope that there'd be one out of the blue side in there- I remember in previous editions the big 4- especially Man Utd- would fade away over time, often to oblivion (League 2). Obviously not the case here. Andria's rise in the 2050s is a nice quirk though it seems pretty ho-hum otherwise.

I take there havent been any big names to fall?

Top 4 of the Premiership still there lol

I find it curious that with the top leagues loaded the Portuguese teams still managed to win a few Champions League.

This is interesting, thanks for sharing.

Very Interesting. I'm running a similar holiday at the moment, with more leagues admittedly, but saved in two-year chunks. I don't know how it will affect the game, but it could be an interesting counterpoint to this when it reaches the same stage.

Christopher Samaba to be more successfull then Sir Alex lol.

Would you be able to post some A-League stuff mate? Brilliant post/

Mad post but brillaint

Nice to see Bradford City back in the Championship.

100 years from now, the sum of 100M still can made leading transfer. Economy must've gotten better and beat inflation some years to come.

Portugal can actually winning something ? They must've developed new boysband after Figo and that Ronaldo generation.

And Manchester Citeh ? Dominating Premier League ? Surely after the current sheeik passed away +-30 years after now his heir will grow some brain and stop the nonsense....

gees how big is the save game file ? I would imagine it would be very slow whilst playing normally

lol'd at ireland in the 2018 world cup

Yay, according to your data, I can look forward for the bluebirds playing league football at the end of this century but weird seeing Fulham strugging in L2 and Southend being in the Premier League

EDIT: Were Wigan the first Premiership to sink to the BSP?:O thats very weird

Fulham always get absolutely battered in these things, never seen them stay in the top league or even the top 2 leagues, guess we falter after MAF's death

Wigan always seem to end up in non-league too....

Is Wenger still managing Arsenal?

lol

Could you post a screenshot of the best players around...

I'm currently doing something like this into 2092/93 at the moment. Bit more variations in the Premiership winners for me although not a great deal. AFC Wimbledon have won it 3 times now so surprised to see them going back into BSS in your game.

HA i love that england still haven't hosted the WORLD CUP even though south africa hosted 3 more times !!!

Is Wenger still managing Arsenal?

lol

I noticed it took them till 2072 to win a CL

I will try to answer the points raised so far and then I have another interesting screenshot. I have moved past 2137 now in the game.

Yes, the variation in league winners is not the best, especially in Spain, Germany, and France, but I would not be surprised to see more changes in the future. As for big names to fall, I would say the biggest in the first 100 years have been the likes of Auxerre, Mallorca, Racing, Genoa, and Sampdoria. I can tell you that Juventus have taken a tumble now though.

The Portuguese teams benefit from not being loaded as their reputations do not drop as easily. Also the big 3 have less competition for qualifying for Europe.

Samba! Yeah it was weird to see him at the top of the hall of fame. Thierry Henry was his assistant for at least some of the time.

The A-League was not loaded, so not a lot of information on Australia.

Inflation is supposedly not programmed into the game. The transfers are limited anyways because SI have programmed a maximum 150 million pound transfer budget and 5 million pounds per week. Several teams have enough money for that mark. Portugal always seem to do okay in the game. Manchester City benefits from the spending of the past because it increases the fan base and allows them to make more money late in the game even without external funding.

The save file only recently crossed 1 GB uncompressed. Honestly it probably still runs fine, although it would be hard on slower computers.

Wigan, Fulham, Blackpool, Blackburn, Stoke, and Sunderland tend to have the worst luck in my holiday games.

The hosting is a disappointment and seems to be exactly the same as in my other holiday game.

Here is my latest screenshot: (I would like to see something this big in real life)

I reckon Inter paying Parma 85million for Kaka in 2060 is a good bit of business for Parma.. I can't believe he'd be that good at 80+

can you give us a screenie of Huddersfield's League positions please?

Great to see them in the Prem, it's just a pity that the mighty white sh.... up the road are doing well in both the league and Europe..

French teams seem to be doing very well financially... maybe a little too well?

How did Andria's rise come about? A tycoon takeover?

Glad to see Leeds doing well in the last few years there.

I'd love to know how Andria did so well.

Good thread roversawh7, i read your previous Iceland one with interest too.

Am i right to presume you've got the leagues set on minimum detail? That might help explain why there has been so little variety in the league winners across the board.

Serie A is very interesting with the rise of Andria and Pro Vercelli seemingly doing a bit of alright too. A screen of both those clubs if you wouldnt mind? Also Liverpool if you could! I thought our current wait for a title was bad, but not liking the length of time after the title win in 2016

Hey, would be possible to see the history of Barrow from the start till 2100?

Andria did get a consortium, but they did a lot of hard work to get to where they are.

The big two French teams have managed to really rake in the cash. I think early success plus decent stadiums helped them.

Leeds are one of a few teams to re-establish themselves.

It is set to minimum detail as it would be far too slow at any other level. Past versions have seen a little more variation though.

A 150 year update is in the works.

Good post indeed.

I agree with Rocks.

Would like to see the best player's in the game at this point if possible.

Time for the 150 year update now that I have gotten past 2160. Things are starting to change as times goes on. Some of the big clubs continue to press their advantages from the past but more teams are breaking in and playing a role. As usual there will be a number of screenshots to show what is happening.
