Sports Illustrated FM12 Legends Project (link)

Take a close look at this video. Looks great! Don't know how it will work though...

Looks great, I'd love to be able to pick a certain time frame to start from, say 95 or something.

That would be class, maybe downloadable add ons for different time frames?

it'd be worth a £2-£4.99 add on wouldn't it!

SI must have their previous databases that they could convert to run on FM12.

Surely worth looking into for the income potential alone.

Yes, SI, I will accept a 5% stake in this.

Yeah, like you said shouldn't be to difficult to sort the databases out

It won't be an option (Due to licenses according to Miles on Twitter). However the result was one of the best sports articles ever: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/draft/ultimate/draft-results.html

Interesting little project:

Great link. Fascinating stuff.

I'd prefer a link to the db they used! interesting stuff though, surprised messi was first pick over pele, maradona, di stefano etc

I thought the article did really well to explain the picks, starting 11 and formation, then the actual write-up of the seasonal ("recap") was awful. I was expecting to get much more detail. It was also let down by having the AI manage the teams for most of it.

Shame, because as it could have been a really great little project.

Surely for cheap comedic value they should have used Jens Mustermann instead of Oliver Khan?

Miles said on twitter this isn't something they're releasing

it would be nice to see Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Raul in the same team again

Community project. You heard it here first.

For the record, I am not prepared to do any of the work but am willing to accept all the credit.

So no chance to see which stats for each player were used? :confused:

There are a few Legends databases in the Editors Hideaway section of these forums.

It would be interesting to see the attributes they gave each of the players

the legend db can be found on fm-base.

I'd love to see these as well.

A very interesting little project though.

I suspect (and hope) this is paving the way for one of the bonus features of FM13 - there are hints of something special, cant really imagine what else new SI can do. I guess it would be a single season time limited game. Unless "Regens" were pre programmed young players of the present.
