atonement Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 im a long time player but i still dont know what difference is between 'view only' leagues and the 'load all players from...' option do both of these things impact upon regens? thats my main concern really, ensuring regens still come through apologies if this has already been answered but i couldnt find anything with the search forum tool anyway, ta in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 View-only leagues basically means less players and regens but the leagues simulate. Load all players from will load more players without the league simulating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Also, for example, all players from England will load Beckham, but running the league wouldn't guarntee that he'd be loaded. Or, better example, if you load all players from Jamaica, Marlon King will be loaded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan,,, Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 But in View-only leagues, reserve or u-18/21's aren't included. I noticed that the other day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atonement Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 thanks very much for the responses guys a follow up question... how much of a drainage on game speed and processing if i add about ten countries to 'load all players from'? im assuming its less than actually making the leagues of the countries themselves playable, but maybe im wrong? ta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutonNil Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Best way to get good regens is to retain the top teams in a ddt and not to load all players from any particular country Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atonement Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 whats a ddt? sorry if i sound like a ******* ive been playing the game for years and have never heard of that team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 whats a ddt?sorry if i sound like a ******* ive been playing the game for years and have never heard of that team It is a simple file that you can create in notepad that will allow you to retain players from any clubs or countries that you specify in it. This thread explains how to create them along with how to create edt files which are different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atonement Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 are there any existing files floating round that are any good? or maybe guides on how to make them? ta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 are there any existing files floating round that are any good?or maybe guides on how to make them? ta There is also a ddt generator website that will create them for you. I will try and find it for you. The link above is a guide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Here is the ddt generator. It is for FM07 but it will work the same on FM08. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atonement Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 thanks very much for your help jod ive just read on a forum that although retaining lots of players makes the game slow to load up initially, in the long run it doesnt impede upon game speed too badly do you know if this is the case or not?

No problem. Glad to help. I'm not sure. I never used ddt files and most players I retained is from 1 country. I would imagine that it is much quicker than loading playable leagues.

You're welcome again. The ddt file should go in the edt folder of the database you are currently using. If you are using Weegie put it in it's edt folder while if you are using the 8.0.2 database put it in its edt folder. It should show up on extra files and you just have to tick it then.
