FM22 Projects WIP: "Guide how to increase realism in Football Manager 22" - extended version (04.05.22) (Patreon)

Hello, everyone! I've created a new benefit for your support level :) This includes "work in progress", which is not finished yet, but already offers you some added value (hopefully ;)) 

As I already announced, there will be 2 versions of my "Guide how to increase realism in FM22". A public version with different setups from all default nations as well as an extended version with setups from all available nations.

The public version will be released tomorrow.
The extended version will also be released tomorrow and will be available vor Backup Players or higher.

This project took so much energy out of me, so I'm more than happy to be finished soon and can put my focus 100% on the monthly updates again. (June looks good already, but not ready yet. Release will be Friday the 13....oh ***, no I'll release in on Thursday the 12th of May xD.

Available setups for the default game:
Every setup contains all players from existing leagues within the game. So even the small setup has over 200k players. As I mentioned already, my setups are quiet demanding but especially the „small“ one might be faster as you think.

Small: 40 playable leagues in 35 Nations with 204k players
This setup adds the top division in 35/53 Nations aswell as the 2nd division in England, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. All the other leagues are all „view“ only with players added via the advanced database. This setup already guarantees you a well balanced transfer-market, strong competitors (see benefit of playable league over „view only“). This database is already very demanding. For those which this is already way above their limit, I recommend to set the detail-level completely to default. If it’s still too slow, see „additional setups“.

Medium: 64 playable leagues in 41 Nations with 212k players
This setup mainly goes down the league-pyramid and adds 2nd and 3rd divisions of the bigger Nations but also some top-divisions of smaller Nations. If you can’t choose between this or the small one, take the „medium“ setup ;)

Large: 97 playable leagues in 53 Nations with 220k players
The smell of a burning CPU can be quite romantic right? Almost the same like being at a campfire with your partner ;) Jokes aside, this setup adds at least the top-division of every Nation and a lot of 2nd and 3rd divisions aswell. Just be aware: Once you had 1 long-term-save-game with such a setup, there will be no way back anymore^^.  

Additional setups:
In my guide for FM21 I wrote down much more smaller setups but only 1 setup to download (recomended setup). This year I wanted to make a change. In this file there are 4 smaller setups included (setup 1 is the smallest, then setup 2 and so on). Those setups are meant to be for those who: 1. have a weak laptop/PC or 2. prefer playing FM as quick as possible but with a tiny bit of realism too. The setups are from 5 playable leagues up to 20.

Extended setup:
I have now 5 versions available to download (extremely small, very small, small, medium, large)

All files are  based on the "List of files I recommend to increase realism".

It contains 5 league setups (db setups) and a game_setup. The game_setup must be loaded via the "advanced db".

A written version of the extended-guide will follow as soon as possible. The most important thing is, that you have the files :D

If anything doesn't work, let me know.

Cheers
