Brother Ben Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) In preparation for the FM22 Performance Benchmarking Thread i'm looking to find the most typical game setup to use for one of the benchmarks to test. The FM21 Benchmark thread can be found here My own setup for the beta is as follows- England - All leagues Ireland - All Leagues Scotland - All Leagues Northern Ireland - All Leagues Spain - Tier 1-2 Italy - Tier 1-2 Germany - Tier 1-2 France - Tier 1 only If you could post your setup in the following format that would be much appreciated My Setup, based on the above- Nations - 8 Leagues - 22 Player Database - Small Hopefully in the 2 weeks between now and the full release I can get a good idea of what a typical setup looks like (unless someone at SI is able to tell me ) Edited October 27, 2021 by Brother Ben Added Database Size Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurkaDurk69 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 This is what I am thinking, with nations and leagues added/removed depending on where I am. However, last year I had trouble loading saves if there was too many people loaded. Sweden - Tier 1-4 Austria - Tier 1 Belgium - Tier 1 Brazil - Tier 1-3 Denmark - Tier 1-4 England - Tier 1-2 France - Tier 1-2 Germany - Tier 1-2 Holland - Tier 1 Italy - Tier 1-3 Norway - Tier 1-4 Portugal - Tier 1-4 Russia - Tier 1-2 Spain - Tier 1-4 Nations: 14 Leagues: 37 DB: Large 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlock Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Typically, I go with 8-10 nations, 16-20 leagues, custom DB of around 50,000 players. Usually, I only add the major nations/leagues from Europe but add players "of national reputation" from South America. If I'm playing non-league in the UK I add leagues down to Tier 6 as well as lower-leagues in neighbouring countries. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax_Barcelona_Cruyff Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Can anyone help me out with this one. I own a 16” MacBook Pro 2019 (2.6 GHz 6-Core i7, 16G RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5300M, 500G SSD) I recently acquired from work the following: Dell Precision 7730 17” (2.90 GHz 6-Core i9-8950HK, 32G RAM, Radeon Pro WX 4150, 500G SSD) With the Mac I run about 25 leagues from 22 nations with a large DB. Granted the fans kick on now and again and it gets warm sometimes, but I get 5 star graphics ratings and recommended very high settings and I get 2 stars for predicted game speed with that league setup. Also it wizzes through game time no problem. I figured the Dell would be a step up for FM, but with the same setup I get 3 stars and medium recommended for graphics, and 1.5 stars for games speed, with the same league setup. Also you can fry an egg on it and the fans ramp up a lot. It seems slower running through game time too. I figured on that spec of windows laptop being a noticeable upgrade. Whats the logic behind the i9 not being quicker than the i7 and is the WX4150 a weaker graphics card? Not trying to be clever here, just very inexperienced on Windows gaming. Thanks.

Based on the info I can see, the graphics card in the Mac is actually quite a lot better than the one in the Dell. The WX 4150 seems to be quite weak, where as the RX 5300M is roughly equivalent to a GeForce 1650, which is a fairly modern and quite capable graphics card. In terms of the CPU, the CPU in the Dell should be a bit better than the i7 in the Mac, but they're very close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six seasons in, I’ve noticed match days and transfer deadline days taking a little longer to progress than they did in the first season. It’s still better than my FM20 set up on my previous machine with fewer nations/leagues and lower detail level. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBride Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) I load all the leagues on View Only for every save. If I'm doing "one club" I load that full league and about 80-100k players from leagues around the world. That includes the major countries from the continent I'm playing in, some form south america, some from africa, and places that generate players I might want to acquire in the future. I want to have a lot of players but I want my game to move and a good speed. If you add them in "custom setup" it saves you a lot of processing time that "playable" creates. I highly reccomend this!

haslertweets Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Need some advice, I usually load every possible league as I do a journeyman and like the immersion of it all. This year, I am thinking I’ll do a one club save. If I were to load just a hand full of leagues and load all players possible in a custom database I think I would save a lot of time in processing speeds but all squads would still be filled out? Other than not being able to view the unselected leagues or manage in them is there any other big trade off I’d be making for a quicker speed?

ThunderCelt Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 For my FM21 journeyman it was all five British and Irish leagues with every division, then the top division from the seven top European leagues. So 25 divisions from 12 nations. All playable/full detail. My PC isn't the most modern and has struggled toward the end of FM21's cycle so I'll reduce the numbers and/or detail level for FM22. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) What we are missing here and it was touched on briefly. How many seasons does everyone play? I play 100 seasons. Full playable all tiers England Ireland Spain Portugal France Germany Italy Wales Scotland 2nd tier non playable Argentina Brazil Chile Uruguay Russia China Japan Db large After 100 seasons it's like walking backwards through a sandpit. And the game doesn't age well theres not any economies of scale or nation emerging. But I hear that has changed a little for fm22 As someone here said you can load every league and tier and large database if you only play 5 seasons. I play more for monetary pleasures. Turning poor clubs into the richest clubs. For instance it took me 77 seasons to overtake Barcelona as the richest clubs with Novara.

lckyby Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I have a Macbook Pro (2.3GHz i5, 8GB RAM) from late 2018 and this is what I usually load. Most divisions playable from the big 5 leagues. Play/view-only for second-tier leagues like Russia, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands. View-only for smaller Euro leagues that have teams in CL most years. Play/view-only for Argentina and Brazil so I can buy their players. View-only for USA/Mexico as the next biggest leagues for completion. Large DB + 'Players from top clubs' in Europe, Africa, Asia, S.America. Detail level is everything for the league I'm playing in, usually limited to top leagues and cups in most other nations, and zero in the smallest leagues. So with this setup, a week holiday (17-08 to 24-08) takes me 9min 58.23 For comparison, with this more basic setup shown below (with default detail and just large DB) a week-long holiday (17-08 to 24-08) takes me 1min 39.92 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIMN Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I've always stuck to no-more than 8 nations loaded. No real reason.
