Start your game in August 2013, this will give you over a year pre-season.

cannot remember if the english league starts in june or july, if it's the latter then there are leageus that start in June which would give you an extra month. Malaysia starts in Feb but that's probably a bit too much preseason.

Ok I understand your opinion but on this case I have
to ask you : I want to takeover an English team while the game begins in
Malaysia on February. How can I arrange this ?

sorry mate, got the date for Malaysia wrong, either I remembered wrong or it's changed, either way it's now December 2011 or November 2012.

England's start date is July 2012 but Germany, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Russia, Switzerland and Wales all start in June 2012, which would give you an extra month which might be a bit better.

(And other nations would be different aswell, their just the ones I checked that weren't July 2012.)

Anyway whenever you choose leagues from more then 1 nation you can choose which one of those Nations Start Date to use whilst on the screen where you can choose your database size and how far down the leagues to load.

e.g. if you load England down to League 2 or just the Premier League or all the way down to the BSN/BSS

no worries

the e.g. bit was a reference to the last half sentence before it,
"how far down the leagues to load."
the e.g. bit was meant as a guide to tell you that it's on the same screen as where you choose whether you want to load all of the leageus from a nation or just some of them. It also serves as an indirect hint that if you want to load a nation purely for it's start date then you can load only it's top division and then remove it using the add and remove feature so you start your first season at that start date instead of England's, slowing the game down as little as possible, then you can remove it for at the end of it's first season and it will be like it was never loaded.

hope that makes abit more sense.

although I'm not sure if it works the same for classic mode.
