I'm still running:
i5-3470 CPU
2x4GB DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon HD7800
Windows 7


Last time the game was playable enough, but each day took quite some time. I don't need every league to be activated, but the most important North American and European ones should be there.



My question:
How have hardware requirements improved regarding in game speed? I guess it will run, but will it be slower than last time? What is the best way to increase day-by-day simulation speed? Is it worth it?
It probably won't be too much different from last time. We've made some speed improvements, but the size of the database has grown, too. With the standard game (historical and custom will run faster), even setting all of the leagues except the NHL to nonplayable is going to be slow with 8 MB of memory and, I'm assuming, a non-solid state drive. Those are the two places where better hardware will make the most difference for FHM.
