I know I keep banging this drum but is it a case of too few leagues too large a database effecting the transfer market or is FM19 better in this regard?

With the greatest of respect to the OP if I was going to write a satirical post sending up the general ignorance of how the game works it would read exactly like this

In my experience the best database for this is the FUSION DB. They've been making it for years
San Marino League - Download
Italian League - Download ECCELLENZA
Check out their Facebook page Fusion DB for other goodies and updates

Decided to give this challenge a proper go after doing it unofficially for the first time last year and lurking with interest in the FM18 thread. Have to say though I'm impressed with how well some of you guys did as I really struggled but enjoyed none the less.
I've started with Stalybridge as I have done pretty much every version of CM/FM since I first managed them on the original Premier Manager which forced you to start in the lowest possible league
Like I said I really struggled with this challenge on FM18 this was my first attempt and this was my second attempt, so getting out of the bottom division would be a success and is my main aim. So here goes......
Stalybridge Celtic - Vanarama National League North
Manager Profile - Stalybridge Celtic - Facilities - Current squad - Youth intake before I arrived
Freshly promoted from the Northern Premier League and predicted to finish rock bottom of the Conference North, however, they have plenty of pedigree at this level. I Literally have no idea how this will go but I fear the worst!

I think there are a lot of us with decent PC's that don't realise how slow FM actually is on lower end systems looking at the bench marking thread. I felt it was slow last year and didn't really feel it was a great deal smoother on my 7700k vs my 2500k but then you see folk hitting 9 minutes to process those tests. The game just isn't that nippy no matter the specs of your PC
The third test is the interesting one. It shows that the longer you play the slower the processing gets, sometimes really noticeably

Seriously? I got an i7-8700K 3.60GHz and I struggle above 20 leagues. How much RAM do you have?
That doesn't sound right try benchmarking here and compare with others https://community.sigames.com/topic/421162-fm18-performance-benchmarking-thread/
Although it could be that your definition of struggle might mean "not as fast as lightning" because your processor is the top consumer processor available at the moment

Im the same... not sure how many leagues I can run with this
Intel core i7-7700HQ @2.8GHZ
16.0 GB Ram
That's a top end laptop spec, you can run as many as you like, just depens on how quick you call quick

You’re looking at a new build.
new GPU though? i'd stick with the current one if cost is an issue. I've got a 760 gtx which is great on high graphics

Intel Core i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20 GHz (4 CPUs)
6GB RAM
GTX 1050 Ti
as a rough comparison - you cpu vs the latest i5, paying special attention to single thread rating (still very relevant in FM) and overall in red https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-8400-vs-Intel-i5-650/3097vs767
It's also 6 cores vs 2 which will greatly help, its not exactly a real world comparison but its a good idea
also maybe check out the benchmark thread here -

So (obviously theoretical to some degree as the intel isn't quite in the shops yet) what do you guys think would be better for this game specifically;, an i9900k or an AMD threadripper variant with a bunch more cores?
Unless there has been a massive change in FM19 Intel is still better as FM isn’t optimised well enough for multiple cores/threads

How will you survive the first few moments until you change the skin?
It'll be a struggle for sure
On a serious note though, I don't see any problem with the skin at all, we'll all get used to it. The pedant in me agrees with @Double Indemnity though, with regards to style errors, which is an irritation even though my own use of the English language is terrible

I was thinking the exact same things
People refusing to buy the game because they dont like purple in the UI or the start screen
Yep it's a deal breaker for me.
I'll be forced to close my eyes and click randomly hoping that I hit "Load Last Game"

I meant in terms of taking away the hours of guessing with tactics and training in paticular.
I see what you mean but I quite enjoy tinkering with those things, the days of plug and play tactics and training are long gone now I suspect and attention to detail is vital.
Mind you I do enjoy flying through the seasons on FM Touch (out and about on my commute etc) which to me is not too much of a compromise as the tactics and match engine, unless i'm very much mistaken, are exactly the same

About 6 months. Full set-up, every league selected, huge database. Go hard or go home
Awesome
Imagine if FM had full multi core/thread support. Get a top of the range Intel Xeon system on the go and cut through the whole game like butter!

Your database was about 200k units? - was around 120k but really iirc, but totally unneeded in my game
Will this affect the number of available staff in the game? - I didn't notice a problem with staff but isn't there an option to add staff to playable teams? Over time won't retired players fill vacancies?
You mean any features/changes in FM19 or reasons in general? - Not FM19 specific. The school of thought is that a small database makes for a more competitive transfer market, especially if you are the selling club. This is all the more noticable when running a small number of leagues. This is just my own experience and i'm sure that other forum members will know more than I
All of this though very much depends on what kind of game you intend on playing, if you just play with top teams then it could well be different

I agree. I revised my DB this summer in favor of reducing countries / leagues
I was about 10 seasons in on FM17 with Stalybridge and was still in non-league, chugging along at a snails pace because i had the whole of Europe and South America running and I couldn't even scout outside England. Entirely pointless.
With FM19 I will be starting in Conference North/South with only England running to start with and add/remove leagues If I progress up the Pyramid.
I'll also start with a small database for transfer market reasons discussed in depth on other threads

I guess it 20-30 hours (of clear time) per season. But looks like 25-33% of them I just watching to days loading
this used to be me until I realised that I didn't need all the leagues I had running, now I favour speed over size but if you had asked me the same question a year or 2 ago i'd have said the opposite.
It's about finding that balance

You can have Vorm back, he's utterly useless
Bet his bank balance is huge though, not bad for playing the occasional cup game....

Takes me about a month to complete a season
if anything I think the new tactics and training module will lengthen the time taken, I can see myself taking an evening just tinkering with the training.
I play FM touch on my commute and you can really race through the seasons

The field display is still inferior to FM2014 which showed role, condition, morale, form, and mentality in a compact manner.
Reminds me of the FM2016 blocks disaster; why break something that isn't broken?
As a Swans fan that line up makes me both nostalgic and sad at the same time

yes, its not ideal but it works fine
