FM2012 关于职业生涯模式（增加或删除联赛）

Career mode (aka add/remove leagues)
职业生涯模式（增加或删除联赛）


Although we release a version of Football Manager each year, there are always some features that take longer than the one year cycle to get right. The 3d match viewer introduced in FM2009 was being worked on in various guises for 3 years before it was unleashed onto the world. Last year’s competition editor was in the works for a long while, as was dynamic reputation.
虽然足球经理系列游戏每年都会发布新的版本，但是游戏的某些新特性的开发周期远远不止一年。FM2009中，第一次引入3D比赛引擎，但在面世前，我们实验各种各样的实现方式，却长达3年。去年的比赛编辑器同样花费了很长的时间。


With FM12, we introduce something that has also been worked on for a few years, and it’s something that’s been requested a lot in the last couple of years, particularly amongst those that tend to have long term career games.
在FM2012中，我们即将引入的这个新特性，工作人员也已经为之努力了多年。过去的几年中，很多玩家，尤其是那些在游戏中有长期执教生涯的玩家，都一直希望游戏中能实现。


It’s always been the case that the more leagues you have running in the game at any time, the slower time will seem to move, due to all of the extra matches to be played, and data to process. That meant that, for people who want to be able to move around Football Manager’s 50+ playable countries leagues, they would be getting a slower experience than those who, say, just want to manage in the Scottish Premier league.
一直以来，游戏中运行的联赛越多，游戏的进度也就越慢，这都是因为额外的比赛需要进行模拟运算。这意味着，对那些开启50多个联赛的玩家，相比只开一个苏超联赛的玩家，游戏的运行速度要慢的多得多。


You now have the ability to add and remove countries to your saved game each season.
而现在，每个赛季都可以增加或删除各国的联赛。


For those of you who have been following the different announcements for Football Manager 2012, you’ll know this already, of course. But we’re still getting lots of questions about exactly how it works so, hopefully, this blog will explain that!
对那些一直关注FM2012的玩家来说，已经有所耳闻。但我们仍留有许多疑问，这是如何实现的呢？今天的博客，将给大家具体的解释。


Essentially, at any time during the season, you can go to the “add/remove” league, and choose a countries league, or a level of a countries league, and, err, add or remove it.
基本上，在赛季的任何时候，玩家都可以增加或删除联赛。选择一个国家的联赛，或者某个等级的联赛，增加或者删除它。


If you add a new league, or a new level to a league (and by that I mean that if you’d started a game running just the top division in a country, and wanted to add the next level down should it be available in the game), it tells you the date that the league will become active, which tends to be a few weeks in game before the league is due to start.
如果你增加了一个国家的联赛，或者一个新的等级的联赛，（比如说，一开始在游戏中，只加载了英超联赛，现在还想加载英冠联赛、英甲联赛等。）游戏会在该联赛的赛季开始前几周，激活你的选择。


But where do all the players come from? Anyone who has played the game in the past will know that with inactive leagues, not all the teams have full squads like they do if the league is active. So if you’re 5 seasons into your career, and decide to add another league, surely those teams won’t have enough players and the whole game world will be imbalanced?
但是，所有的球员从哪里来呢？只要是老玩家就知道，没有加载的联赛，并不会像已经加载的联赛那样，球队有完整的阵容。所以，如果已经在游戏中玩了5个赛季，决定加载另一个联赛，毫无疑问，那些球队没有足够的球员，游戏也会失去平衡。


That was probably the hardest part of adding this feature in to crack, but crack it we have. What happens is that when the league is added, it works out exactly how players would have progressed in the game should they have been playing in active leagues. It doesn’t play out all the previous seasons’ matches, as that would make it a very slow and long process, but the players skills will change as though they were there all along – including youth players being released by clubs if they aren’t good enough, and players retiring if they get old.
这也正是实现该特性，需要攻克的最难的部分，但我们确实做到了。新加载联赛后，会发生什么呢？游戏首先会计算出球员的发展情况，就像在已经激活的联赛那样，但不会模拟所有的季前赛，这是一个非常缓慢而漫长的过程。球员的属性会发生变化，包括年轻球员被俱乐部解约，年老球员从俱乐部退役等。


Also, if you add a league some 20 years into your game, it is unlikely that many players from the original DB still survive, so the game also knows how to fill such teams with older newgen players, to simulate newgens that would have come through the club youth scheme if the league had been active all along.
当然，如果在游戏中玩20年后再增加另一个联赛，原始数据库中的绝大部分球员都不可能存在了。这时游戏也会自动补充老的“新”球员，模拟其从俱乐部青训体系中开始之后的职业生涯。


Taking leagues away is also easy, so if you aren’t happy with the speed of your game, you can remove a countries league, or just a level of the league.
删除联赛同样简单，如果对游戏的速度不满意，可以删除一个国家的联赛，或者某个等级的联赛。


You can also use this feature with custom leagues, ones that you can make with the Football Manager data editor, or download others edited leagues online, although they need to be in place when you first start the game.
新特性同样适用于自定义联赛，可以使用自带的数据编辑器，或者在线下载其他玩家编辑的联赛，但是必须在第一次开始游戏的时候加载它。


And if you are someone who plays the demo before release and then like to continues their demo saved game with the full game, you'll be able to add leagues to this save too.
游戏正式版发布后，在demo中增加或删除联赛的存档，在正式版中同样可用。
