Furious P Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 My game save has gone terribly slow lately when processing (it's FM12, but don't think this is specific to FM12) and after looking around/trying everything online the only thing left that could cause it is the number of players in my game. Currently there are > 240,000 players which is a huge amount - is there any way to reduce this? I have tried removing leagues but to no avail.

Sikker Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Removing leagues will take a couple of seasons before it'll work properly as players need to resign first. Normally these players would then be replaced by newgens from same leagues. But as you have removed those leagues they will not get re-populated.

Furious P Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Thanks for that. When you say resign, do you mean retire? e.g. if a player is 20, will I need to wait 10+ years for him to retire? Also is there some tool I can use to remove players from the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sthptngomad76 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Did you add leagues at any stage, by chance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious P Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I did actually, I removed 4 and added one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbert Fandel Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I thought they patched it? though I guess the evidence doesn't sound like he is running the patched version if they did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious P Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'm using 12.2.2 installed using steam, which as far as i know automatically updates. I'm running on Mac if that makes any difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikker Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think the problem only had to do with some South American leagues. And as Herbert says I also believe it got fixed in the latest patch for FM12. For that to take effect, though, you need to start a save on that patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious P Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Sounds like I'm pretty screwed. FMRTE doesn't allow you to delete players does it? I suppose I could remove them from their clubs or reduce their ratings but I suppose you can't do a batch edit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Was it ever fixed? Not sure it was. It definitely was wrecked at one point, and once it gets to that, you're pretty much done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious P Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I modified any players with ca<=85 and pa <= 85 to be 40 years old with 1 for their ca & pa and expired contract. Hopefully they'll retire within a year and reduce my players by about 100,000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
