The game file has grown to 287Mb. Rather Large!
In fact, just this past season it has ballooned a little (which I expect over time, but it seems to have grown quite a bit). So, unless anyone strongly objects & to be transparent, I would like to make the following small changes. NONE of this should affect gameplay, and I believe this will bring the game file size down a bit. We'll see.
1) Scouting Report Updates - I would like to return this to Bi-Monthly during the season (it has been Monthly).
2) Report History - I would like to change this to keep one per season (it has been Keep All, which I think is part of the problem).
3) I then plan to click on the "Clean-Up Scouting Database" - That will do exactly as it says and should immediately reduce the size of the next upload.
Also
The follow have been set to HUMAN TEAMS and I would like to change this to MAJOR LEAGUES just to see if it makes a difference. In my opinion, once the sim has passed most of the information is history anyway and likely nobody returns to it, if indeed many actually reference some of this stuff at all. But I realize some people do, so just a heads up!
Save Box Scores
Generate Game Recaps
Generate WPA Graphs
Save Game Logs
Save Replays
Generate Highlights
Save 3D Movements
And finally, a recurring recommendation once changes are made, is to delete the FACES.dat file from the upload. That will make the file quite small, but it will be recreated the next time under the new/changed parameters, so the effect is only temporary. But hopefully the "next one" will make the overall file that much smaller.
Again, if anyone strongly objects then I will entertain another course of action, but I think we would all appreciate the file being as slim and trim as possible!
Post concerns below or send me a DM in Slack.
