Over 10 years Editing experience and with nearly 30,000 hours editing experience you can be assured of a flawless production. * Mega Face Pack Release * Guarantees No player is released into the game until fully researched and fully tested. The player will be at the club that they were at when they were the age that they start in the game. Only Legends and Stars will be created in this database, not players who had potential but never delivered on it. LEGENDS ICONS STARS Think Football Manager meets FIFA Ultimate Team! A LEGEND, ICON OR STAR is a player who mainly played at international level and / or won significant honours and / or played in the top divisions throughout career and a substantial amount of games. If they played for the same top club for long periods, then that would also be seen as a significant advantage whereas any significant periods in a lower division would diminish legendary and star status. Common Sense is used amid the plethora of research undertaken to ensure accurate ratings and using only historical evidence and data to determine the most accurate results in the modern football arena. These Legends and Stars will not start lower than the top 2 divisions in the nations they are starting in These Legends and Stars will not start at a club unless they played on at least 30 occasions for that club The earlier the players were born, the older they will be at the start of the game. Players ages range from 14 to 34, to give you a rough idea, a player born in 1800-1810 will start at 34 years old, whereas a player born in 2001 to 2010 will be 14 years old. There may be exceptions due to a player having to start slightly older either because they did not play at least 30 times for that club or that club does not exist anymore or that club is now playing in a division that is not in the top 2 divisions of the nation they are playing in. Players who start at a younger age will need to develop in order reach their potential, whereas the older a player is, the nearer to their peak potential they will be, and certain players will play having reached their peak and then players who start at an older age, the older the player is, they will have started to lose some of their ability, as in heading past their peak and starting to decline as a footballer. The better the player is potentially, the more likely that they will still start the game at a high current ability despite their advancement in years. If there are any legends or stars you would like to see in this database then please let me know and the relevant research will be carried out and I will do my best to get them included for you if they have not been previously researched and included already. Great Questions! "Do you maintain the original FM24 database with current players, clubs, and history, and simply add legendary players to play alongside modern ones?" Yes, I maintain the integrity of the original FM24 database, including current players, clubs, and their established history. My approach is to preserve existing data as it is, without altering the history of players or clubs that has not been touched. When it comes to adding legendary figures such as players, coaches, managers, chairmen, and directors who were not originally included in the FM24 database, I do so without modifying any existing profiles. I would simply edit the existing profile and not have to recreate a completely new one. If these figures are already present but retired in the database, I recreate their profiles from scratch and remove any outdated retired profiles to ensure accuracy. This way, the database retains its original structure and history while being enriched with legendary figures to enhance the gaming experience. "Or do you recreate the legends and reset the game to a historical period?" The database spans from 1844 to 2024, encompassing the entire history of football. I do not reset the game to any specific historical period. Instead, the database includes every legend and star from this extensive timeframe, provided they meet the following criteria: They qualify as 'A Legend or a Star.' They have been thoroughly researched using sources such as FIFA, PES, UEFA, FM, media, fan forums, and online community websites to ensure accurate reproduction of their playing or managing attributes. They have undergone rigorous in-game testing to confirm that their performance aligns closely with their historical reality. Only after ensuring these criteria are met will a player or manager be integrated into the database. Thus, players from any year, including those from 2024, are included, and the database reflects the full spectrum of football history without resetting to any particular period. "For players currently active in 2023, will their ages be reduced, or will they retain their 2023 age? If so, how would you handle legendary players and stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappe? Would their ages be decreased in comparison to current active players?" To ensure the database remains historically accurate while including current players, we follow a specific approach: Age Based on Historical Accuracy: Player Ages range from 14-34 and Players will start at an age appropriate to the year they were born. For example, if a player was born between 1800 and 1810, they would start the game at 34 years old, adjusting accordingly for their birth decade. This means that players like Cristiano Ronaldo, born on February 5, 1985, would start at an age reflective of his early years in professional football. Club and Age Considerations: Players are included in the database at the age they were when they first joined a club where they played at least 30 professional games. This means Cristiano Ronaldo would start the game at 18 years old, reflecting his debut with Manchester United in 2003. (I guarantee that if a player is at a club, they are at the club at the exact age that they joined that club) Top Leagues Requirement: Legends and stars are placed in the top two leagues of their respective countries to ensure they are easily locatable and accurately represented, avoiding the need to search through lower leagues. Therefore they may have to be 'older' if e.g. they only joined a club in the top 2 divisions of their respective league and played at least 30 professional games at that age. Therefore, while the ages of current active players might appear decreased in comparison to older players, this approach ensures that the historical accuracy of their careers is maintained. "Lastly, when recreating legendary players from 'Retired' or 'Non-Player' status, would their awards and career history be erased? For example, if you recreate Ronaldo at age 20, would his Ballon d'Or achievements still be intact or reset?" Please note that if a player is 'officially retired' in the database they would be deleted and recreated from scratch. If they are a Non Player, then we simply edit the existing profiles. When recreating legendary players who are either officially retired or editing currently non-active players / managers in the database, their awards and career history would indeed be reset. If a player like Cristiano Ronaldo is recreated at an earlier stage in his career, such as at age 20, his achievements, such as Ballon d'Or awards, would not carry over. One thing that would carry over is their 'preferred player moves' The reason for this reset is to ensure historical accuracy. At age 20, Ronaldo had not yet earned those accolades, so it would be inaccurate to include them in his profile. By resetting his achievements to match his career stage, we maintain the integrity and realism of the database. I still have a few questions that need clarification. Will active stars under 30, such as Mbappé and Haaland, have their ages adjusted, or will they follow your specific approach of age reduction? Additionally, the concept of recreating "Retired Person" players has both good and bad. While this method preserves the original player IDs from the database, there are instances where SI either removes retired players without converting them to "Retired Person" or deletes the "Retired Person" in the database. This could pose a risk if SI releases a minor database update for FM24 (though I suspect they won't, given the impending release of FM25). Lastly, will you be releasing a facepack for these legends, or should users rely on existing facepacks from other sources which all of legends are old? Age Adjustment for Active Stars: If players like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland qualify as legends or stars, they will follow my specific approach of age reduction. Every legend or star, regardless of whether they are currently active, will be treated equally in terms of starting at the appropriate age based on when they reached key milestones in their careers. For active players who do not meet the 'legend' or 'star' criteria, they will remain untouched and retain their current ages in the database. Risks with Recreating 'Retired Person' Profiles: When a player is marked as retired in FM, their original profile becomes unusable, as their ID is reset to 0. Once FM retires a player, the only options are to either keep their retired profile or delete it and recreate them from scratch. If SI (Sports Interactive) removes a player entirely from the database, then full recreation from scratch is necessary. This process poses a risk when minor database updates occur, as changes could affect previously recreated profiles. However, FM typically doesn't release any more database updates after the March Winter Update. To minimize risk, I begin reproduction after this major update, ensuring that no further changes will impact the work. Over time, fewer players need recreation as more legends and stars are retired or removed, and once a player is recreated from scratch, any future adjustments are minimal. Facepack for Legends: Along with the release of the database update, I will also be providing a comprehensive facepack that includes all the legends, stars, managers, and even non-managers. This ensures that users will not need to rely on other sources for facepacks, especially since many existing ones feature older versions of the legends. Oh man, I completely forgot! Is your data file compatible with other data update files? For example, many legends have transitioned into managerial or staff roles and are moving to new clubs this summer, which is likely covered in some data update files as well (like Ruud van Nistelrooy). If you change their status from 'Non Player' back to 'Player,' wouldn’t that risk causing conflicts with other files that track those changes? Yes, my data file will be compatible with most other types of updates, such as league updates, real name fixes, or skin mods. However, there will be compatibility issues with data update files that move legends into managerial or staff roles or track their status changes. For example, in the case of Ruud van Nistelrooy, if another mod updates him to a coach or manager while my database changes him back into a player, this will indeed cause conflicts. My file would revert Ruud to his younger self as a player, while the other update might keep him as a non-player, potentially leading to duplicates or mismatches. The best approach is to avoid using my mod with any update that tracks such changes, particularly those affecting transfers or staff/player status. Fortunately, by the time my database is released, most official transfer updates will already be done, so there’s less risk of overlap. After all, why choose Ruud as a coach when you could have him as a 17-year-old youth prospect at FC Den Bosch? In short, it’s important to pick the mods that suit your preference and ensure they don't overlap with player status changes. Any QUESTIONS? Don't be Shy! *** COMING SOON *** Edited September 8 by Fenech 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the player has retired from playing but is now a non-player still in the game as some kind of staff, then yes, those ones can be returned to player. If they are are fully retired, as the case may well be or just not in the database at all, then yes it's a case of creating a new one. Either way we try as much as possible to preserve the existing player/non player and only create a new one if there is no other choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each legend and star featured in the game is already integrated within the database. Their age range typically spans from 15 to 25 years, reflecting the pivotal developmental years of their careers. Primarily, these iconic figures commence their virtual journey at the club where they initially made significant appearances, aligning with the age they were when they first debuted for that particular team. However, exceptions may arise, particularly for much older legends and stars, who are introduced into the game at their peak performance ages, generally between 23 to 26 years. Regardless of their age, players are assuredly situated at the club they represented during the corresponding stage of their careers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be fitting to use those together with your legends. That's a fantastic idea! Incorporating throwback versions of the Champions League and European Cups would add an extra layer of authenticity and nostalgia to the ultimate legends database. It would give players the opportunity to relive iconic moments from football history and perhaps rewrite some of those legendary matches with their favourite teams and players. If you're interested in integrating these throwback versions into the database, you are more than welcome to do so and this database would be compatible with those type of mods.. It's all about creating the ultimate footballing experience, and I'm excited to explore this possibility further with you! This is a concept I have explored before, and it offers the potential for multiple downloadable options. One option would be the Ultimate Legends database in its standard form, including the usual competitions without any additional modifications. Alternatively, players could opt for the Ultimate Legends database enhanced with throwback versions of the European Cup, providing a nostalgic twist to the gameplay experience. Another possibility could involve combining the Ultimate Legends database with a customized world super league, allowing users to immerse themselves in a dynamic and personalized footballing universe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @MelvinMat This Legends database is the original legends database, work began in 2010 and was first released in 2014, so it's not the successor, it is the predecessor. The return of the legends database is a completely different database and since then you have the great work of the mad scientist and all the other legends creators that have followed since.

Aleem Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 @Fenech Ahhh yes I cannot wait for this to be released, and I am so glad that you are coming back to do this legendary database. I remember getting this back in 2014 and it was honestly one of the best legends database that I have ever played, and well worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want really love this idea Hide contents Hide contents I appreciate your enthusiasm and support! I'm glad to hear that you're excited about the database. What is the most important thing to me, is that you get the most enjoyment from it, 10 years ago, the orignal legends database was released and now a decade later, I bring to you and to the community, the final version, and it will be free and it will never be released again because no amount of sponsorship could repay or compensate for the amount of work and effort that goes into creating it and the same again every time it needs to be recreated. It will be free to everyone in the FM Community to download and enjoy. Think of it as a Goodbye gift. Your support means a lot, and I'm grateful to have fans like you who share my passion for football. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgnorantLobster Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Wow - great to see you back @Fenech. Anyone who isn't familiar should be really excited. For me you make comfortably the best legends databases of anyone in the world. The attention to detail is incredible. Really glad you're making another one! They are great to play as the regular FM year fizzles out each year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAMiles Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 would you be adding just legends to the db file or will you be adding former wonderkids who never lived up to their hype? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenech Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 1 hour ago, SAMiles said: would you be adding just legends to the db file or will you be adding former wonderkids who never lived up to their hype? Thanks for your question! This database focuses exclusively on legends and stars who have earned their place based on their achievements and impact on the game. Only players who have demonstrated significant merit and left a lasting legacy will be included. Therefore, former wonderkids who didn't live up to their hype will not be part of this database. The goal is to celebrate the true greats of football history and provide the ultimate legends experience for all players. Every single legend or star since 1880 will be included, leaving no room for wonderkids or any player who didn't do enough to qualify as a legend or a star. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if you delete all of the club favoured personnels or not? Thank you for your excitement! It has indeed been a challenging but rewarding task to update the database, covering the last decade and ensuring all the original legends' IDs are accurate. Especially the mega facepack release, so all the IDs must match. Regarding the club's favored personnel, I typically retain those who have a significant historical impact on the club. However, I ensure that the focus remains on accurately representing the legends and stars. This means some adjustments might be necessary to reflect the most relevant and influential figures in each club's history. Your support and enthusiasm make all the hard work worthwhile. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the release. It's going to be worth the wait! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
