warviv Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I've been at Stockport which at the point in my save at which I joined them were a Vanaram National Team. I've since doubled their trophy collection over two and half years, winning both the Vanarama National and Sky Bet League 2. Despite all this I'm still only considered Favored Personnel while a Striker I bought in for a season and half before re-selling is already an icon? Feels kind of unrealistic to not be a legend of a club if you just match their best achievements? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jozza800 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 This has bothered me for some time. The issue is especially irritating if a club has been starved of success (or never had success) for a long while. I took over Sampdoria in 2031 and delivered a title in 2037. There first since 1991 (and only their 2nd title in their existence) - but yeah, I'm still only favoured personel. Same with Gothenberg. Delivered a title after near 35 year drought. And i'm not even classed as favoured personel! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
warviv Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 The weird part is when one of my players gets revered more than me. But then again I guess thats how it really is in real life.

In fact Leicester didn't collect 10 thousand pounds for his tribute, that's saying something. I guess inFM legends system (which added during save, not manual) works the same.

Prokopije Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) I became legend of Brisbane Roar. 7 years at club, last 5 won everything there was to won. Except Asian champions league, got only 3 of those. It was joke (very easy to establish domination) of a league, maybe still is, didn't played it since then. Than was promoted to legend. Although, it was on FM19, don't know how it works in FM20, never got anywhere near such a collection of trophies. I guess it counts trophies... 20+ or so...

Lempicka Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It took me six seasons at Racing CFF to become a legend. Successive promotions from the depths of National 3 and stability in Ligue 1 - with 5th place and UEFA Cup qualification my best finish. I was gutted when they didn't name their new stadium after me though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things Could Get Messi Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 My striker not becoming a Toulouse legend is something that bugs me. He has been at the club for over 14 years and has scored over 600 goals. Even scoring in a few Champions League finals hasn't helped him go past icon status. The guy should be worshipped with his returns on the screenshot. Yet a right back who was at my club for 6 years is a legend. PSG used to destroy him 3 times a season before doing me a favour and buying him from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing that feels better than finding a generational prospect at a position that you already have a star in. I can already smell that cash Man City are about to throw my way. Also the player thing happened to me with a prospect I bought in at midfield. dude was captain and easily the best player at the club for a couple of seasons before I caught some other prospects. He was barely favored personeel despite setting records when we climbed up from the Vanarama. I've almost never seen a defender make it to Legend honestly. The system is too biased to forwards and wings. Edited September 14, 2020 by warviv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's debatable as to whether a couple of non-league titles,a 'Leasing.com' trophy and FA Trophy would be > promotion to the second tier relative to club size. You've done well don't get me wrong, I sympathise as I've been guilty of delusions of grandeur at some of my clubs, but IMO to be a club legend you have to REAAAAALLY earn it!

Snorks Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I have never really paid any attention to it in the game, but IRL, I guess, it works that way as well. Think Balckburn Rovers - who are the modern-day legends? Daglish over Shearer? It took Fergie more than a couple of FA Cups and a League Title to become 'Legend'.

Delvi Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I think there two main issues: - a successful manager, for example able to bring the club from Second Division to Premier League and avoid relegation in the first season, should become a legend, this needs a fix; - to become a legend the player should be the favourite of fans for a couple of seasons in a row, there is a problem with it connected to the rating of players, in my save I had only DLP becoming legends, because a goalkeeper or a central defender or a winger has no possibilities; - a player could become an icon, if not a legend, even if he's just good, not great, but playing for many years for the team. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onionbag Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I'd say it doesn't work very well. In my current Derby County save (2027) Barcelona has Fati as an icon and Messi as favored personel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Bickle Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 This is honestly one aspect of the game SI have terribly wrong. I mean, as Marseille, I have reserve players in club icon status whereas me, the long-time manager who has won the CL and dethroned PSG in Ligue 1, doesn't. Neither do most of my players.

Or take players who create/are part of a relatively brief, yes impactful, moment of a club's history. Christophe Dugarry at Birmingham City always comes to mind for me. He'd have legend status for a 1/2 season spell and for what it meant to the club and supporters at the time, deservedly so too. Not sure FM 'legends' code can take into account all these moving parts to determine it, the way it could fairly easily be determined IRL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impacto Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Here is something that I found out a while ago playing around with the in-game editor: I was at a club, won every possible trophy multiple times and I was still only just a favorite personel, while some random players were icons. So i went to the in-game editor to see what was going on. Turns out, I was maxed out on 100 points, more than most of the people listed there, which was weird. If I am at the max points, then why am I not a legend? Then I saw a check box called "permanent". It was ticked off and I ticked it on. Then I was immidietely moved to the Legends list. So I had to tick the box with the in-game editor to be recognised as a legend, even thought I had more favorite personnel points than most other people on the list. It seems like a bug to me.

I played Fm 2019 my guy and I had to win the premier League 4 times in a row along with multiple Carabao and FA cups to get Legend status. It's just supposed to be harder imo for Managers.

I noticed one thing. I won 2 cups, Europa League and 1 title for AZ. It was first tilte for 16 years and I beat club record of points. It was 80, my new record is 92 (screen before last matchday). Despite this I'm not a icon. (I'm even 3th in manager of the year nomination, probably because I lose Ajax 4-0 and a few wins in last minutes btw) But I asked about transfers because looks like this have a meaning too. I bought a lot of good players in 4 years for AZ. Only 1 started to be icon. He played 6 seasons at the moment and scored goal in EL final. 2 players and me just favourites. Other nothing special at all, some of them played 100+ games and won all trophyies with me. In one hand looks like we need more icons and legends after this campaign. In other hand - just 4 seasons and this is teamwins. I created a good team, but this is not my money, money of club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
