Hey guys heres my question, why is when i start with say Rangers in the scottish league with 67 other leagues and a large database i only get around 14000 + players in the db but when i start off with an english team large database with the same leagues i get over 63000 + ???

Just asking because i thought the db would be the same size no matter which country you where.

Although that is a huge group, the fact that, and I'm not happy about this but it is I believe it's SI's policy...

England Non-League is better researched than Scottish Junior and Non League*

England has more registered players than Scotland



*Shocking

I know England have more registered players but i mean that doesn't make up the extra what 50,000 players when playing an english team?

ATW

No it doesn't! But when players are getting added to the English Database because the Play in the East Anglian 100th Division Group C* while Junior and Non-League players are not allowed added it will add up during every update!

Or we could put it to English Bias


*over-exaggeration but you get what I mean

You also got to remember that England only has about an extra 40m people compared to Scotland. Plus Scottish leagues are ten teams, which is half that of england.

It's a case of England have more players, more leagues, a bigger population, and more researchers.

Research isn't SI's fault, it's simply a case of not many people familiar with the lower leagues in Scotland are putting themselves forward to research the teams/players.

Not true! There is a huge thread on our forum with players names DOB etc, which were not added as they were not already in the Database

It take an hour a day for one person to find out names etc to put them in the game
