I've run a couple of tests and thought I'd share the results. TLDR my game with playable leagues only had increased player count and then held steady, never dipping below the starting player count. My Game with a custom database increased at first but eventually declined significantly below the starting player count.
Test 1 - playable leagues only, set up for a long term, competitive European game but still playable for those with out high end systems. Top 10 UEFA ranked countries using association club coefficients, all leagues loaded as playable, medium database size - Spain, England, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Russia, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria.
Test 2 - Custom database, set up to include players from all nations rated above 110 on FM youth rating score. This is the same test I ran in December (page 4) large database size
Under custom database I have these options selected for UK & Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Russia, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Egypt, Turkey, Nigeria, Japan, USA & South Korea
The options with playable leagues really does look fixed, I ran that one for 5 more years than I planned to check player count didn't drop below the original count and I'll probably run it for another 5years overnight tonight to check but it's looking good. I plan to run a couple of other tests but these will take much longer as they will have more playable leagues and also I think I'll be starting a new long term save to actually play.
Hope this helps some people decide what type of game to set up.

I think when they said Custom DBs they meant advanced Database set ups not actual fmf files.
yep i meant advanced DB, not edited files

is anybody doing some more serious testing with custom DBs to see how the numbers are looking?
edit: also, if managers/staff are being hired in AI controlled clubs after the first one leaves/gets fired.
I will do some tests with custom DBs, but first I'm doing a test with just playable leagues. Andrew said the custom DBs are still likely to decrease over time so we already know that's still a problem. Hopefully, with just playable leagues this is won't be a problem anymore, which for people who like a long save is great news. It'll probably take a few days for me to report back

Why not ? I mean even if there are low youth intake players the first team of any top division club would still be transfering players from all around the world, right ? So its not like you are going to face a team full of grey players in champions league in 2030 or 2040.
On the other hand if you wanna play concentrating more (or only) on youth intake then yes. So it really depends of how you wanna play it i would say. Wouldn'd you agree ?
You're completely right, I let how I like to play the game influence my answer and after reading some other posts in this thread, some people are enjoying the game. So I guess people have to just decide for themselves whether it affects their game too much or not. Plenty of people are playing and enjoying

Guys what did you think is it now playable?
IMO if you're only going to play a few seasons its fine. If you want a long save then no

@Daveincid Apologies if this isn't what you were asking for, but I think it is. The number of players in just the leagues I have selected as playable. This has actually made me more sad as it looks like a long save even with all leagues selected as playable wont work.
As you can see Germany and Spain seem to have more players but England, France and Italy have significantly less
AFK for a while but if there's a possibly helpful sim someone would like me to run later today and maybe overnight tonight, let me know and I'll see what I can do

nice test! Can you compare the numbers of active players in loaded leagues vs start save? This is something which really interests me! Player search, all players -> advanced filter -> active in league
Cheers

Hey, I'd like to help, but I cant see where that option is...Im still drinking my morning coffee so I'll say that's why rather than I'm an idiot. I'm probably looking in the wrong place

I decided to run a sim on a smaller database as and I'm guessing here the majority of people dont want to run all the leagues as playable.
TLDR - if you like saves past a couple of seasons and use a custom database, you're going to be disappointed and going back to fm20
Here's the setup:
Under custom database I have these options selected for UK & Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Russia, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Egypt, Turkey, Nigeria, Japan, USA & South Korea
Here are the player count results per year
2020 = 50313
2021 = 51744
2022 = 51947
2023 = 51496
2024 = 50640
2025 = 49512
2026 = 48029
2027 = 46909
2028 = 45884
2029 = 44975
2030 = 43717
2035 = 37739
Personally for how I like to play the game this is not fixed at all and makes it unplayable. I really hope this is still the top priority of things they are working on and they are not considering it pretty much fixed

Stupid question. I want to run my own test on this as I really want to start a fm21 save
Where do I actually see how may players there are in a save once started?
I see the approx number under the add/remove leagues but Daveincid had very specific numbers and I dont know where to find that!

Well that is pretty much gamebreaking. What a shame to have only read this now, but saves me wasting anymore time.
Absolutely.
Hopefully this is fixed soon, it makes the game unplayable for people who want to play more than a couple of seasons. Fixing it for just playable leagues isnt really a fix unless you can run all the leagues which wont be very many people.
There's been no update from SI in a week on this issue which has to be top of their priorities surely. Would really like an update so I know whether to start a new fm20 save or just wait a couple of days for this to be fixed

[Suggestion]
Small suggestion to make it possible to create your own scouting pools. For example being able to create one group of scouts that are good at scouting potential and one for ability. Then for example if there's a large number of people you want to scout for your starting 11 but some of your scouts are much better at scouting potential than ability so you dont want there opinion, you wouldnt have to individually assign scouts just assign the group of scouts with one click

Not sure if this is a bug or im not seeing a button! If I make subs at half time after giving the team talk I cant work out how to then give the subs coming on an individual team talk comment. Can someone show me what im missing?
Thanks

On squad screen when clicking the 'side' (left sided, central, right sided) boxes under filter then closing and reopening the filters no boxes are ticked. The filters are still active but to change them they need to be clicked before selecting the new filter. Tiny bug I know but didnt know if it had been reported

AH! that was it , thank you!

I'm probably doing something stupid but i cant work out why i cant save my filters. The name and save button are greyed out. As you can see ive saved some in previous games so not sure what im doing wrong this time. Thanks for any help

What are the best attributes for staff to deal with Press Conferences past their media handle stlye? I've been looking at Mental, Man Management and Motivating but just wanted some other opinions.
Media and setting general training schedule are the main things I dont like doing myself so looking for more information about how to get the best people to do those jobs for me!
Thanks

I started without a DoF but recently employed one. He has better JPP/ JPA/ WWY and negotiating than my HoYD so I set him to deal with with youth intake etc. If my HoYD doesnt help with youth training is there any hidden reason to keep him that im overlooking?
Thanks!

What attributes specifically make a staff member good at creating the training schedule? It's something I like to delegate but not sure what makes someone good at those decisions.
Thanks!

I actually think that this 4-1-2-2-1 will be the best tactic i release on the 12.2 patch as the match engine's defence is really hard to combat.
I've got no problems with that, cena wins tactic is awesome, still doing great with it on my Wolves save. Thanks Mr Hough
