[chrisy]

when you start a new games what leagues do you select

[chrisy]

anyone ????

[EthanM]

Mostly European leagues. England, Spain, Germany, Italian, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Turkey and two South American countries, Brazil and Argentina. Some of these leagues are on view-only though.

[chrisy]

wont that slow the game down alot

[Gundo]

Just one nation (Norway) all divisions as per Gundo's Challenge.

[EthanM]

Depends on the computer. I'm in 2013 now, and it's still playable.

[chrisy]

could you tell me what leagus you have playable

[RICHY-T]

England, Scotland, Italy, Spain

All leagues there, sometimes France & Germany aswell!

[andrew bowditch]

england, spain, italy, france, portugal

[postman123]

england, france, spain, brazil, argentina, holland, italy, slovakia, slovenia, poland, portugul, colombia, russia, serbia and a few others it works very well

[chrisy]

if i slect view only on the leagues i carnt scout the un 20's leagues

[jod123]

Yeah view-only does not load the underage leagues as view only does not load players so there will be no players in those leagues.

It depends on what type of game I want. My current game has top divisions from USA, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, South Africa, China, South Korea, Scotland, Holland, Portugal, Russia and the top 2 divisions from England, Republic of Ireland, France and Spain. That is off the top of my head, I might have a few more.

[rancer890]

Only load one league (Spain or Malaysia, depending on the save...) these days, can't get into a career game...

[chrisy]

i have just selcted spain and england and there is an england under 18's but no spain under 18 's and i do have them as playable anyone no why??

[jod123]

I can't remember if Spain has an u18 league as their reserve teams play in the lower leagues in Spain.

[Kain]

Currently have MLS, England (from Blue Square N/S upwards), France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Argentina and Brazil (all top 2 divisions).

[chrisy]

There isn't an under 18's league, but an under 19's league so you can scout the u19s.

[jod123]

Listen to rancer, he knows.

[chrisy]

yes there is an 19's now but at the begging of the season there is not

[rancer890]

Listen to rancer, he knows.

Yes I do know. Jod just somehow always helps people 1 second before I do.

It's a disgrace one of the most helpful users isn't on the GD Member of the Quarter ballot!

[SSGTroyer]

Here's my Game Status screen...

Continues take anywhere from 15 seconds to 15 minutes on my P4/3.4 HT w/2MB.

[Bhoy]

England (sometimes top league and championship), Spain (top league only), Italy (top league only), Scotland (top league only) and I load players from Brazil and Argentina.

[almir_metallica_4ever]

I usually select England, Italy and Spain. Sometimes Germany and France

[PlayboyC]

No offence mate, but that info you gave is pretty useless, what are your comps actual specs?

[JimbobWWFC]

I usually start the leagues I would wish to manage in when the game progresses; All leagues from England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Spain. And sometimes I will start the leagues from nations like Scotland and Portugal just to see the league sitations from time to time. I would like to play more leagues for player scouting reasons (e.g. Scandinavian or South American countries) but I get very impatient when the game gradually takes longer to load and continue as the seasons progress

i know eh? was off the top of my head though

[bluebellsareblue]

Pretty sound advice, and what I do too tbh.

Quick question for everyone regarding number of leagues, database size.

My current savegame I have ALL leagues from England, Scotland, N.Ireland and Wales installed and playable with a medium database. I started in N.Ireland and ended up in the English Premiership via the SPL.

I'm thinking of starting a newgame with ONLY the top division loaded and playable from the top 10 or so European nations. At most I will be running 10 leagues, although in ten different countries, which is less than the number of leagues available in my current savegame, across 4 nations.

Will this slow the game down much and what would switching to a 'small' database do/mean?

I think that if you are playing less leagues overall, it will not be slower than previous games (depending on the amount of teams in the new leagues you select).

Switching to a small database just means the game will present less players available to find and scout, so there will be less players in teams from non-playable leagues. But the smaller the database, the faster the game, of course

That was my main question tbh.

I've never really understood what difference the database size makes to the game.
Does it basically just load up/install less players from outwith the leagues you load as playable then?

If I was loading the top division from the top 10 European nations that would install loads of decent players anyway.

So switching database size to 'small' would mean when you drew a small team in Europe for example, most of there players would be 'greyed-out'?

[JimbobWWFC]

Correct

Correct again. On average, the levels of players quality would still be the same overall, but there will just be less players in general. That is my understanding of it anyway. So don't expect less quality players, just because you have a small database running. Instead, you should expect fewer players, no matter their quality
