<strong>I played my first season game by game, but now I only play games that I have a rookie playing for the first time or maybe see a player I just traded for.
I have a PII 400 pc with 256mb ram and a GeForce 400mx video card. It's getting slower and slower, but not annoyingly slow yet.
I almost posted a message asking on tips to speed up the game. I have logs off and that seems to help. Any other things to do? I *think* box scores are erased at the end of the year??

- Make sure your minor league teams are not overfilled with too many players - as I wrote above that has a
major impact on game speed.
- Don't set injuries to above "normal"
- Don't set AI trading too high (I forget if that is adjustable so disregard this tip if it's just a on-off setting)
- For speed simming turn log and box score generation off, and make sure that the game is not interupted by special events like no-hitters etc.
Other than that it still sometimes seems that simming a day with no scheduled games takes as long as simming a week of double headers, so don't think that long daily sim times means that simming a month at a time will take an hour
.
Box scores deleted: I don't think box scores are ever erased, but I imagine they are overwritten eventually by new boxscores. I think that will barely impact game speed issues though - certainly they should have no impact after they are created - the game creating them is the only way they would effect speed.
