Neil Train Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 just wondering. i'm playing english leagues and naturally am getting mainly english players. but my searches aren't turning up much else. would my sending scouts to central and eastern europe enlarge my searchable db for those regions? i'm thinking of seasoned internationals, romanian, like costin lazar who isn't coming up in searches. just wondered about db size and if my "searchable" db is increased through scouting?

Declan Barry Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Can you tell me what you have filtered including attributes please? Thanks. I have managed numerous teams across a variety of levels and not had this problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted June 2, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted June 2, 2012 There are well in excess of 20,000 players in the full database, each individual game loads a cut-down version of that database (in a similar manner to the PC game) - normally around 5-7,000 players are active in a single game, the exact amount depending on the league(s)* selected. *Android only allows one league active at a time, however iOS and PSP allow multiple leagues to be active at once.

Neil Train Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 I guess the original question still applies tho: will sending out scouts increase my knowledge of a region and therefore turn up more searchable players Edit: getting in a second night's play and still experiencing the same in that my searches are still really only bringingup English based players. Will, later, give you an example search Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Train Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 .ok, well into my second night's play and yes if I'm not too picky then I am getting foreigners but wks still like to know whether scouting helps me expand my searchable db Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted June 3, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted June 3, 2012 The players 'visible' within the search tables will not change HOWEVER if you have fog of war on then scouting will reveal their attributes which will help you discover which are good.

Neil Train Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 What's fog of war.? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted June 3, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted June 3, 2012 What's fog of war.? Sorry its probably called 'attribute masking' in the game - when I implemented the feature (many many years ago) I called it 'Fog of War' internally because it was based on the concept of turn based war games where you only had knowledge of what your units could see. Its the feature where you can only see attributes for players you'd realistically know about and the rest show up 'obscured' ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
