Player purge

joeyjojojrshabadoo · 05-18-2017, 06:41 AM

Is there a way to do a purge without having player histories get messed up? I'm importing from 17 soon for an online league and I'd like to clean up the database.

nope unless the developers change the way the purge is done but i'm guessing it would involve a ton of work since you are changing player id numbers.

it's a databse... it only selects and processes the info necessary.

so whether there is 10mb or 1gb of data there, when running a season it shouldn't matter much. however, saving/loading initially might be different.

# of FA can matter, since anytime the ai needs to look for at them for any reason it looks at that much more each time. retiring them will do, if neccessary.

purging will help things like leaderboard loading or league history etc... entirity of the data being loaded and sorted, etc.
