Just a quick first impression for anyone that is interested. Hopefully others can also either confirm or discredit my findings.
Just fired up FM2013 for the first time using the "normal" mode we were all used to. It seems that the engine may well be optimised in some way in how it creates your initial database based on your selections.
I have created a game with 37 playable leagues, and large custom database of around 80,000 players and it's taken around half the time to get me up and running. Incidentally, the new loading sequence reminds me of the original Championship Manager days, watching the scroll bar move along with a description of which task it is performing. Happy days.
