I'm shocked that i can only run the game with only 20 leagues!

You don't need 20 leagues and 100,000 players to have a "great" experience.
It won;t make your experience that much greater than me, who runs 41,000 players and 11 leagues, that's overkill for me, and my system is only slightly better than yours.
You have to remember your gonna be managing a team so you only need around 20-30 players at any one time, I'm sure you'd be able to find them with only 30,000 players loaded.
Or are you going to tell me your going to sit and look through 100,000 player profiles?

Maybe you do, i just made my point that you don't really need that many players.
I certainly wouldn't sacrifice game speed for more players/leagues.

Give it a few years in game, when regens come into your game it will slow down quite a bit.
Its worth mentioning that the more leagues/players loaded the more susceptible the game is to save game errors/loading errors/crash dumps.

Just trying to be honest mate.

I highly doubt that, very much. Unless they're idiots.
A quick google search came up with this thread on the official si website, and at the time im posting this, nobody has stated they load every league up.

I usually end up with somewhere between 70 and 100k players and ~30 leagues loaded in my saves. It's not quick, but I usually do other stuff while playing FM anyway so I don't mind.
To get back to the point, like I said in my previous post, FM is limited by the fact that it is a 32-bit game and can't make full use of more than 4 GB of memory. Having lots of leagues and players loaded is much more a drain on memory than it is on processing power, which makes the limitations pretty obvious.

This only happens mostly with teams that are playable/view only. its a lot less for those clubs not in the playable/viewed leagues

The overall number of players remains fairly constant. The game only keeps the newgens that are good enough to be signed and a lot of players retire.

Oh right thanks for that so maybe the odd season more players but midway it levels out etc
