LOL. Not running anything special really. Just my MacBook Pro:



Anyway, I abandoned that game. Decided I wanted to start with a South American "power", so I chose Universidad Católica, in Chile. I'm back to about what I normally run, which gives me around 125,000 players. (It's a little more than the usual, as I've loaded all South American leagues/players (and players based in S. America) for this game. Sounds like a lot, but runs fast enough for me.

Do you guys really pay attention to the stars for computer performance when setting up the game? I'm just curious i usually try not to go below 1.5 or 2 stars when setting up a game

Nope not at all. I have way more players loaded then they recommend and I run my game fine.

For Mac users, I just got a Macbook Pro and want to get FM digitally - any recommendations? Also, on Mac, to download facepacks and such, is it easy like PC?

Don't know about facepacks. But just go to the si forums and select the link to buy it digitally. It's like esellerate or something.
