make the game faster

this is the first year i bought OOTP. Initially i loved it and couldnt get enough. but after about 7 seasons i got tired of how long everything took especially the offseason and i havent played in awhile but id like to pick it up again. what are the essential features i should have on/off to have the most fun but efficient game of OOTP?

Thanks!

More info needed. What takes too long? What is it you don't want to do? How fast do you want it to be?

I can do a season in a day or less, or take 3 weeks so it's completely flexible.

If you choose Play/Play Menu/Auto-Play Until Event/End of Playoffs, you could knock off an entire season in a couple of minutes.

If you have an antivirus checker that runs in the background, set it to ignore OOTP and its data folders. Likewise, do the same for search indexing.

The other main point that can influence times are the number of minor leagues in the game. You can cut down the sim time almost in half if you go from 6-7 levels of minors down to 3-4. I've done that in the past where instead of having 3 different rookie leagues, and multiple AA leagues, prune it down to a single league per minor league level, and it certainly helps.

I delete many files every Jan 1. That reduces file size 50% and improves speed.

Which files would you recommend deleting?

See below. Please note I don't know your set up so please proceed at your own risk.

Quote:
del .\news\txt\leagues\log_*.txt
del .\news\html\box_scores\*.html
del .\news\html\game_logs\*.html
del .\replays\*.rpl
del .\messages\message*.txt
I make this into a batch file boxlogdelete.bat in the league file folder and run it each Jan1. After deleting messages you must delete the messages.dat file manually. The dat file will rebuild when you next open the league.

My EBL vs MLB is over 7 GB and is not slow at all on my somewhat new (3 months old) PC. I don't delete anything. I no longer use the almanac feature. i generally play out 75% of the season.

Does the steam friend have a more specific question? The OP here never responded to our posts for more info. We still don't know what is slow about the game.
