So...as promised I checked the size of the save game that gave me trouble. It's 241MB.

The size of my HDD is 118GB. Used space 13,9GB. Free space 104GB.

Hmmm...I think there's enough space for a simple save game, no?

Confidence - Not an issue any more. The odd blip here and there, but in general, no problem.

Regens - Sure, the quality of regens gets poorer as the game goes on, but it doesn't only get poorer for you, but for the AI too, so its still a level playing field.

Long term is a must, imo.

I prefer a long term game because you can set yourself targets and these change as your club changes or you change clubs. Personally I started my game with the intention of taking over Man Utd when they get relegated (as it is pretty well documented that they usually do after going into administration), i'm in 2018 and no sign of problems for them yet so I continue with VFB.
e.g. I set a target of getting past the red ***** in terms of trophies and of course I succeed

Maybe you're right :p

Did you use an edited database? And of course the obligatory question:

Are you fully patched up?

How do some people go so far into the game?

I play 2-3 seasons and then get bored and start a new game.

204* (* = something, between 46 and 49) in one game, 2038 in another game, and 2019 in my current game.

Lets just say, I get attached

IIRC this has more to do with harddrive space. The save file grows as you play further and further into the future and when you run out of space you can't save your game.
Makes sense, i'm in 2018 with 8 leagues running and the save game is 900mbs, but I have nothing on my comp and only play FM so I should be fine for a long while yet. </BLOCKQUOTE>
