The ‘Advanced Options’ section at the foot of the screen provides eight options to further refine your experience: This method allows you to be very flexible and specific when setting up your saved game. For example, you may wish to load in every player from England and every player of French nationality regardless of the nation they are based in. Selecting this option presents a filter dialog from which you can then select preferences when constructing your database. You also have the option to set up an ‘Advanced’ Database. More capable PCs are able to handle larger databases, but less capable ones may want to consider using a smaller option.įor example, a small database might load 8000 players worldwide into the saved game, but a large database adds closer to 15000. Naturally, a larger database includes more players and teams from the football world, whereas a smaller one includes what are considered the core and most important items. In a similar manner to the loading of numerous leagues and nations into a save, the size of the database loaded into a save determines to some extent the level of realism managers experience in their saved game. The hybrid Playable/View-Only Below mode allows you to set which levels of a league’s structure are playable, and which are View-Only.

Switching between Playable and View-Only mode allows you to include countries in your game for the express purpose of increasing the scope of your game world View-Only achieves this on the proviso that you cannot manage there without converting it to Playable by using the Add or Remove Leagues option within your saved game. The more leagues you include, the more players are in your saved game, and the slower the Estimated Game Speed – indicated in the panel to the right of the screen – theoretically becomes. Upon hitting ‘Confirm’, the ‘Active Leagues’ panel populates with a list of leagues from the selected nations, their playable status, and the reason for inclusion where one exists.įrom here, you can then use the drop-down menu for each country’s entry in the list to determine how many leagues from that nation are loaded in. The ‘Add/Remove Leagues’ button is the nominal starting point this is where you can choose the nations represented in your career.

Rather than selecting a team and getting into your career as quickly as possible, you can tweak and tailor things to your exact requirements here. If you want to have greater control about the setup of your new career, and include several more leagues than the Quick Start setup allows, then you should use the Advanced Setup option.
