Game slowing down after 20+ seasons

I remember if previous years there were steps to take when the game started to slow down. I'm now in 2030 and the game has become unplayable, are there still steps to take in easing this problem? Apologies if it's been mentioned before, I searched but couldn't find any information.

You could try removing some leagues and see if that helps.

Have you used the add/remove leagues feature during those 20 seasons? If so there's little you can do to speed up your game as there seems to be an issue with too many players being created and left in your db when adding/removing leagues.

SI are looking into it.

Only added and removed MLS, shouldn't make too much difference should it? That was ages ago as well, it's only really this season that it's slowed massively.

I started with just England loaded, only added Holland 1st & 2nd divisions, and Serie A & La Liga a few seasons later. They're now removed, but the database has still gained and retained over 130,000 extra players in 8 seasons on mine.

Clear up your scout reports. Been issues with that recently. Im in 2026 with english leagues loaded down to counties level and once reports cleaned up and rid of my game started to run great again.

Thanks but I don't seem to be able to do that. When I right click I get no option to delete reports in the Scouting bit. Any ideas?
