MichaelNevo Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) Welcome to [FM24] NOT your ordinary Legends database! (CM/FM legends included) (4 Legendary Managers, 371 Legendary Players and counting!) Why is it NOT your ordinary legends database you may ask? Well the simple answer is that only the oldest of the old will be in their prime! THINK VIVIAN WOODWARD! This database is different because you will need to play the game as you normally would in order to get these players up to scratch! Alongside needing to train up these legends, you will also find with some of the younger ones that their potential can vary from game to game. Ever wondered what a 200 PA Teddy Sheringham would look like? Who knows, you may find out! Ever wanted a blast from the past? Install the CM/FM Legends pack and play with a whole host of CM & FM legends who probably never made it! On a serious note, some of you may recognise me from FM23 Past, Present & Future legends. Unfortunately that one never got off the ground properly. However it did provide me with a leg up for this, especially with the CM/FM Legends. This is an ongoing project, but unlike last year, I will be releasing my work in batches and in fact, this has already taken place! Without further delay, below you will find the players ready for download from Steam workplace and the relevant information on the players you can expect to find! Please note, especially with the CM/FM legends pack that certain players may not be visible without loading up the correct Nations at the start of your game. Version 4.0 NOW RELEASED! The best update to ever land is now here, with better than ever realism! Revised CA, Revised PA, Playing History up until their current club, Trained in Nation and Trained at Club to allow them to be homegrown for their club. ENJOY! Football Legends Of All Time 4.0 (4 Managers 371 Players) Steam Workshop Link Football Legends Of All Time 4.0 (4 Managers and 371 Players) Sports Interactive Download Facepack Available Below! Please read carefully! To install... Download the legends pack. Unzip the files (WinRAR required). Move files to Graphics folder (this can be found somewhere along these lines - This PC / C Drive / Users / (Name) / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 24 / Graphics). Please note the above guideline may different depending on your computer. If there is no Graphics folder, simply just create one within the Football Manager 24 folder. 375 Legends Facepack - Mediafire Download Please let me know if you notice anything missing. However, if you have other graphics installed, especially faces, do note that it is mostly your own fault that the facepack doesn't work, as it simply isn't compatible. When loading in graphics made by other people, it can mess with the Unique ID's given to players in the database, something totally out of my control.

Spoiler Gareth Bale Ryan Giggs Ian Rush John Charles Questions & Answers... Q. How old are the players? A. I have used a specific criteria to determine the age of a player, with the basic gist of it being that the older they are in real life, the older they will be in game. So someone like Vivian Woodward (27 I believe?) for example will be one of the older players, whilst someone like Wayne Rooney (17 I believe?) will be much younger. Q. Which clubs do the players play for? A. I have taken the age that I've set the player at and compared it with real life. They will play for the club they played for in real life at their current age. The idea is to be different to your usual Legends databases, where normally you would already have your team set up for you. In this case, you build your own team by purchasing the legends and playing Football Manager as you normally would. Q. How good are the players? A. Their current ability will be determined by their age. I don't know for sure, but I think generally players stop developing for the most part once they hit 23 years of age. With this in mind, players aged 23+ will be much closer to their PA, whilst the younger players like Jermaine Defoe and Ledley King will be around 140 CA. Another factor for their CA is how big of a legend they were in this beautiful game. For instance Wayne Rooney will be higher than Jermaine Defoe and Ledley King due to what he achieved, sitting around the 150 CA mark. Q. Are there any facepacks? A. Yes, you will find the facepack download alongside the legends download! Make sure to get them to enjoy the best experience! Q. Can I ask for specific players to be added? A. Yes of course you can. It actually helps me when people recommend players, because this database isn't just for myself, it's for everyone to use and if adding players you want makes you want to use the database, then I'm all for it! All I would ask is for your patience as this database is a work in progress and some days can be slow to none existent in terms of spare time, whilst others I'll have more spare time. I work a full time job and have a wife, so everything is a balancing act Q. How far will you go with this legends database? A. There is no set amount of players that I will add, so with that in mind, we could say 2,000+ players.

For example, could I combine the England mod with a Scottish lower league one? A really good question! I will definitely be doing facepacks, but for the moment there aren't any unfortunately. I've never created a facepack, so it will be something for me to learn. I may even give it a shot today when I take a break from creating legends. As for compatibility, I don't see why it would be an issue considering all I'm doing is editing existing retired players and creating players that don't exist within the current database. Nothing else gets changed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I've used a specific template to determine the age of the player within the game. I've then taken that age and compared it to real life, so they will be playing for the club that they played for in real life at that current age. I'm sticking with the exact same idea as my failed attempt last year. I don't want this to be the same as every other legends database out there. I want it to be unique and for the user to play the game as they would do normally. The idea is for you to create your own team of legends rather than having that team already set up for you, whilst also having to train up these legends as well (except the older ones of course). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a terrific idea. I'm going through the databases now. I'll be sure to use them when I start a new save after the patch and a few other mods I'm waiting for are out - and I'm done with my current adventure. Can I make a suggestion? The attributes they have now - 17 year-olds Wayne Rooney and Cherno Samba for example, or 15-year-old Ryan Gauld - even Michael Duff at Cheltenham, are world-beating as they stand. Would it not be better to have their starting CA/attributes average or a bit above average for their ages and levels but with stupendously high PA, Ambition, Professionalism and Determination to encourage them to develop to a world-beating standard in time?

If you want the complete experience, definitely hold off until I've released more of the major Nations and players. At some point I did want to go back through the work that I've done and adjust things for sure. Not only adjusting CA and PA, but also picking up on mistakes. I've already noticed one with Gordon Banks for instance, his attributes are messed up because I most likely didn't set his CA. As for the Hidden stats like Ambition and Professionalism, I've replicated those stats in a lot of cases from earlier FM/CM data where available. Wayne Rooney most likely came from FM2009 which is an editor I've used a lot. Lets be honest though, Wayne Rooney was a beast from a very young age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Right you are. I only play England and Scotland (maybe other British/Irish nations).

Reload Football Manager and you should be good to go! Further facepacks will be released in due course, so this is entirely up to you, but if you wish to you can create further files within the graphics file to tidy things up. For instance creating an English Legends file and then moving the unzipped files into that instead. As long as everything is within the graphics folder, it shouldn't make a difference.

If what you are doing ends up anywhere close to the brilliance this was, you, sir, will be a hero! Especially because we can just migrate databases and take everything to the next FM now. I was using a db called "Legends of the Beautiful Game" for FM23. I'm hoping this will be a FM24 version of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legendary Franz 'Bimbo' Binder, boasting what was once reported as an unmatched goal per game record, the Austro-czechoslovakian Josef 'Pepi' Bican, who was honored alongside Pelé and Uwe Seeler is the world's best goalscorer, Matthias Sindelar, the captain of the legendary "Wunderteam", Ernst Happel, Gerhard Hanappi or younger legends like Hans Krankl, Toni Polster, Didi Kühbauer, Andreas Herzog, Michael Konsel or Peter Schöttel, and many more (these just to name some of the most important from a country that might be overlooked due to it's size and little significance in recent times) I will definitely be adding Austrian Legends!

I will add them for sure. On 05/12/2023 at 15:05, MRC said: @MichaelNevo This is so reminiscent of this amazing database, which unfortunately was done for the last time in 2020 (afaik).

I didn't even know this existed! I will strive to bring something close to that database! 4500 legends will take a long time though for sure!

MichaelNevo Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Huge Facepack Update! + Merged Databases! Legends Facepack NOT your ordinary Legends database! (External Link) NOT your ordinary Legends database! (Steam Workshop Download) I have moved away from individual databases for Nations and merged everything together! Why have I done this? The one and only reason is because I want you all to enjoy the facepacks! Unfortunately it was impossible to do the facepacks with the individual databases as the Unique ID's were clashing. Having merged everything, I have now also completed the facepack! Moving forward I will be releasing updates to database and facepack simultaneously, so you will never be with a greyed out player! On a side note, I apologise for the slow progress of late, I have unfortunately been unwell, but I'm now on the mend again! Onwards and Upwards! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facepack is working great for me as it is, so unless you guys tell me any different, nothing should need to be added. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelNevo Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 32 New legends added! Facepack Included! I have been working on adding several new legends to the database, moving away from adding Nation by Nation and instead just adding players that come to mind. I have updated the official post with new links and information on the new players added. If you think this update is good, just wait until you see the next one! I'll be looking to add 50 new legends in the next update, focusing on big Nations such as Germany, Italy, France and Netherlands, whilst adding in a couple from other Nations as well. Legends Facepack (External Link) NOT your ordinary legends database! (Steam Download) NOT your ordinary legends database! (External Link) If you already have the old facepack, just delete it and install the new one, then you won't end up with duplicates. Players added...

cameosis Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 this is so good. africans are underrepresented, so here is one who should throne above the others: ghana’s anthony yeboah, a legend if there ever was one. of course, he should be affiliated with eintracht, just like his former team mate okocha. south korea: cha bum-kun, another eintracht legend and south korea’s best player, hands down. soviet union/ukraine: oleg blokhin, winner of the ballon d’or 1975 / igor belanov bulgaria: trifon ivanov, one of my personal heros, passed too soon / yordan letchkov / krasimir balakov serbia, czechia and slovakia etc. -- chances are, the size of this legends database could grow to match the regular one. also, valderrama but no higuita? i could go on and on, but you already have your hands full. awesome addition to the database! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget the likes of George Weah, Roger Milla, Abédi Pelé, a young Samuel Eto'o & Didier Drogba as well - and there's so many more, especially if you include recent legends!

Haha, don't worry I'll be adding plenty from those countries that don't seem to be represented yet, this database is only in its early days that's for sure. The reason it turned out this way is because until last week, I was building the database differently. I was doing individual nation databases and starting out with the big European Nations along with Brazil and Argentina for obvious reasons. However, now I'm literally just adding any legend from any Nation starting with the biggest names from history according to wikipedia. Don't worry Higuita will be with us soon, I might even add his name onto the end of my current list 6 hours ago, MRC said: Let's not forget the likes of George Weah, Roger Milla, Abédi Pelé, a young Samuel Eto'o & Didier Drogba as well - and there's so many more, especially if you include recent legends! But I get it, you want your Eintracht to be stacked :P These players will definitely be added when possible, I believe I already added Roger Milla because I remember reading about his surname, with many calling him Miller or something like that. That's the beauty of building this database, I learn useless information about players who I may not necessarily know anything about 6 hours ago, cameosis said: roger milla is already added, i believe. weah, abedi pelé and drogba were some of those that i also considered mentioning, but it's one thing to bring up 20 players in a post and another to add them to the game with stats and individual profiles ... hence i restrained myself. 😂 Feel free to post your thoughts on players to be added, I have no problem with it. If anything it gives me a little bit of help with who to add next. It is true though that adding 20 players is not easy, it's very time consuming, especially when I work 45 hours a week and have a wife, I'm sure I don't need to say anything other than wife for you to understand that problems with that haha. I build this database literally in my spare time. The older a player in real life, the harder it is to add them to the game as well, due to the lack of information on them and I sometimes feel a bit silly just adding random stats in for them, but what can you do! I think the best thing to do is add almost all the players I want to add and then go back through the database, doing some heavier research into individuals and update their stats that way. Obviously the opinions of the people who use the database will help also, that's why I posted on the SI forums. 6 hours ago, LouisLju said: Why not try the "future_regen" edt file version? It won't change anything of the current database That isn't something which I'm familiar with, I'm pretty novice when it comes to editing databases in fairness. However, I had no idea how to make facepacks until I tried it, so I may actually try future_regen. If I do, I'll most likely use it to bring through current players from the database along with future legends, I think that would add a massive dimension to this database. I could just delete players like Messi and Ronaldo etc in the editor then, rather than doing what I'd planned. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
