Left_handed, you say you're playing on a mackbook, I have no idea what it's
capable of next to a desktop PC? Is it just time or space too?
I don't run the whole universe in OOTP but back when I played FM I ran some pretty huge games. With OOTP I run MLB, 5 levels minors, and 4 feeders (2 college, 2 HS) with 120 teams. It's been awhile since I've tried it but IIRC my 6 year old xps spits out a full season in 2-5 minutes. 300 teams, ~13,000 players, 4,000 personnel, and 13,339 games. With this setup I see the same type of results as Mr. Marlin, IE I don't have issues with talent in my league with default settings. I do tick the box where players that retire without ever seeing MLB are deleted. With that ticked undrafted feeder players can drift around a while but they will eventually retire and be gone along with the "also rans" in the minors. Oh yeah, I do use Ghost players too to keep the minors at a more manageable level.
It's easy for me to say this playing on a desktop and not knowing the capabilities of other machines. I do wonder though, what is "slow"? Are we talking an hour to run a season using feeders compared to
minutes without?
Just throwing it out there in case it helps in any way.
