As someone who has never played FM but is very interersted why is it that you need to have certain leagues open and some leagues closed?

Basically: The leagues you select when you start a new game are the leagues you can manage in. There is nothing to stop you selecting all the leagues, but of course the more leagues you have running the more players/fixtures/etc etc the game has to then process and so the slower the game will be moving from one day to the next.

Going further into detail there are also options when you can have a league running, but not enabled for you to manage a club in. This "basic" detail is faster then having the league running in "normal" detail, still allows you to see the fixtures/results/stats etc for that league. But you can't manage any club in it.

So, if a user has no interest in (for example) the Australian league, then they simply don't chose that league when they start a new game and the game won't have to process all the australian league fixtures etc and thus its faster than if the user had selected that league

Sorry for the long explanation, Hope this clears it up?

Cheers
