Legends V1 [FM12]

This is the 1st Edition of my own legends database for FM12.

What I have done is taken c.80 players from around the world and through the eras and created them with their name, international country, club or as close as I can to the beginning of their career. I have created them as either -9 or -10 with all having a current ability of 100. They all have their correct birthdates but are born in 1994, so will be either 16 or 17. I have tried to be as true as I can to their positions from the information I could find on their Wikipedia pages. Some may not be 100% correct. I wanted to leave a lot of things to chance and random so that it is different with different games and think this will keep things interesting.

List of Players for Version 1

Goalkeepers – Peter Shilton, Pat Jennings, Peter Schmeichal, Bert Trautmann, Oliver Kahn, Dino Zoff, Sepp Maier, Gordon Banks, Les Yashin, Edwin van der Sar

Some people may not agree with the initial choices but I have pulled them from a list from the Bleacher Report website.

I do want to add to this as there are lots of players that I want to see on the game. As yet I have not decided whether to do larger updates or whether to do one every couple of weeks. See whether or not there is enough interest.

As for facepacks I have no knowledge regarding creating graphics, but if someone wants to work with me on this, please PM me.

Enjoy!

Plans for second version to include.....

Mario Kempas, Jan Ceuelemans, Socrates, Roger Milla, Carlos Valderrama, Gary Liniker, Just Fontaine, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Abedi Pele, Paulo Rossi. Johan Nesskens.

I am going to continue throughout today trying to add more players to this list and also to the db. I wan't to be able to come back with incresing the list from c80 to 150 to upload this by 9 a.m on 21/4/12.

There was one of these legends packs out last year for FM11 and it was excellent (I think it had 100 of the worlds best players from the last 50 years or so). Glad FM12 now has one!

Great stuff :thup:

Forgot to mention.... on the one someone made last year Diego Maradona chose to play for Italy instead of Argentina, that was my only criticism. I think because he started with Napoli on that one at a young age, he gained Italian citizenship before getting capped for Argentina.

So just a heads up for you on this. Not sure how this type of thing can be avoided in FM, except maybe give all players 1 cap for their native countries?

Just tick box declared for nation, job done

They are all declared for the nation that they played for in real life as Psycho suggests above.

So I have gone through and added a further 50 players to the database today. This is pulling the update forward from Saturday to now…I will be leaving this be now for a week or so because I want to go play with the database.

Enjoy!

good work! ill give it a download now:)

Thanks, I have just been signed off work for a further two weeks....so I think that towards the end of next week I will look at adding another 50 players

Just one that I think should be there, unless I've missed it, Henrik Larsson ?

No Dejan Savicevic, no download.

I might too can help you, If needed.

If you need help contact me and send me a pm

Another legends database!

Perhaps you should talk with Silent Pro and Scott Prat, who are also making this.

If you guys are helping each other the work will be faster done.

Just an idea of course.

You can do what you want, just keep up the good work.

Been looking for a good one of these for a while. I appreciate the effort but only 5/10 for me. All the legends have been created with a 10 for professionalism and ambition, resulting in few (if any) ever reaching the dizzying heights that their PA would suggest, which for me either means I wait for another legends database or I spend time with FMRTE adjusting each and every one of them, which I don't really have the time or energy for.

No disrespect to the creator of the database, since other than that it looks to be a fine job - any chance this can easilly be sorted?
