Hulk7 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I am looking for a laptop that is powerful enough to load all leagues and large players database for the current Football Manager and for 2015 version. Is this okay? http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE60-2PC-Apache.html#hero-overview I will be buying a new laptop today so any help will be very much appreciated.

wwfan Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Don't understand the need to run such a large database as I think it can imbalance the game world, but that laptop will run like **** off a shovel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyPenguin Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Don't understand the need to run such a large database as I think it can imbalance the game world Can you explain this? Surely having all leagues loaded balances it much more as every playable nation is catered for in the highest detail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulk7 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Before you go ahead with it, go on PC Specialist and see what laptop you could make for around the same price. I am from Singapore and we don't have PC Specialist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk7 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Fair enough, go for it then I might go with this http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-g550jkds71-backorder-p-7121.html Is this better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Either one is more than enough to play FM. But you'll still have to wait while all the fixtures are processed. My advice is: regardless of the PC, don't run all leagues. You'll never manege in all of them anyway, just load the most important ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk7 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 The beauty of having them all loaded is that you can go anywhere at any time you want. I've managed in Hong Kong, China and England so far in my save, I was almost lured to Belgium, Portugal and South Korea before deciding to stay in England.If we took your advice, I wouldn't have loaded Hong Kong, China or South Korea, yet I have already managed in two of them. This ^^ I'm planning to buy a beast laptop because I want to play football manager as extensive as possible, just like in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTHerringbone Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Doesn't the Add / Remove leagues option allow you to move about as much as you want anyway? That's what I use it for on FMC. It removes any processing burden and you'd only have to wait a maximum of a season before moving to a "new" nation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, but not as instantaneously as some might like. If you plan well enough, it's fine, but you won't get the ability to suddenly be without a club and move somewhere completely new, as you could have to wait up to a season before the league is activated.

RTHerringbone Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 That function is more for people who want to do the Journeyman challenges where they try to win every cup around the world, but have set out how and when they want to move. In my save it would be completely useless unfortunately. So instead you prefer to commit to a set number of nations at the start and then only manage in those countries, knowing that you can move the instant you are offered a job? I can see the benefit of that, but also the upside of modifying your game world every year with Add / Remove leagues. Horses for courses I guess.

dell19 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I like to have a decent number of top leagues loaded to be able to check how the tradional big clubs are doing. For instance Inter Milan have been getting progressively worse in my game. Also when I'm playing in Europe its nice to be able to check how my opposition is doing in their league. Last season I had a EURO cup game against St Etienne and it was useful to know that they were struggling in the wrong half of the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk7 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 So back to topic, which is better? http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE60-2PC-Apache.html#hero-overview or http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-g550jkds71-backorder-p-7121.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I thought that you were buying on the 8th? Anyway, both these machines will be fine for FM and since the specs are very similar choice will be a personal one as it will be hard to say that one is better than the other.

Yup I supposed to be buying the laptop but I'm still confused on what to buy. I am also making some research on my own before I purchase my gaming laptop.
