How many football player in your create since 1884 to 2024

The Ultimate Legends Database aims to be comprehensive, including thousands of players spanning the entire history of football from 1844 to 2024. While I don't have an exact number, you can expect several thousand players, reflecting the rich tapestry of football history. This includes:

Pioneers and early stars from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Golden age legends from the mid-20th century.

Modern icons and contemporary stars from the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Each player and manager / coach is meticulously researched to ensure their inclusion is justified by their contributions and impact on the game. This extensive roster ensures a deep, immersive, and historically rich experience for all Football Manager enthusiasts.

Including Chairman etc.

Face Pack:

Mega Face Pack Release: Yes, the database includes a face pack, allowing you to see the faces of the legends and stars as you play. This adds an extra layer of immersion and authenticity to the experience.

Looking forward to this! Is there any way of knowing if it might be ready in July?

I can tell you now that this is a huge upgrade. It is just a case of wait and see. My hope is that it will be later July or early August.

As you know with me, accuracy is important, every player is thoroughly tested to ensure they play like they used to play.

Also upgraded will be the players special moves as well. What has taken slightly longer is that its been a while since the last release so there was years of work to catch up on, if you know what I mean.

I am making great progress, but there is more work to do, and I will get it out there as soon as I can. :thup:

Thank you for your patience and continued interest! I'm happy to report that I am still creating, testing and polishing the database. While I don't have a specific release date just yet, I aim to ensure everything is perfect before release to provide the best possible experience.

Please keep an eye out for announcements. Your excitement and support are greatly appreciated, and I'm looking forward to sharing this with you at the right time.

Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm! I'm currently preparing this database to ensure everything is as accurate and polished as possible. I don't have a specific release date just yet but I will make an announcement as soon as the 10th Anniversary Ultimate Legends & Stars database is finalized and available for download.

Your excitement and support mean a lot, and I'm committed to delivering the best possible experience. Stay tuned for updates, and get ready for an epic journey through football history!

can't wait for the release, it must be difficult to cover the last 10 years plus re change all of the original legends id's if they've changed too. 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!

Its a massive update and as you know, I am a bit of a perfectionist so only release when it's ready. I'm working around the clock to ensure everything is as accurate and enjoyable as possible. Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm! I'll keep you updated on the progress. It's not going to be released this month.

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.

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.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! I'm truly humbled by your praise and grateful for your enthusiasm. Creating these databases is a labour of love for me, and hearing that they bring joy and excitement to fellow football fans like yourself is incredibly rewarding. I'm committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and attention to detail in this new version, and I can't wait to share it with you and all the other fans eagerly awaiting its release.

@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.

Thank you so much for your kind words and your excitement! It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the database back in 2014, and I'm honoured to have the opportunity to bring it back for another round of legendary footballing action. I'm committed to making this version even better than before, with more depth, and more excitement than ever. Get ready for an epic journey through football history – the best is yet to come!

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.

Thank you so much... really looking forward to it.

Also wanted to ask, how many legends have you created for this DB?

You're very welcome! I'm excited to share this journey with you.

As for the number of legends in the database, it's quite extensive. I've painstakingly researched and included a wide array of iconic players spanning the entire history of football, from the late 19th century to the present day. While I don't have an exact count at the moment, rest assured that there are plenty of legends waiting to be discovered and added to your teams. From legendary goalscorers to midfield maestros and defensive stalwarts, you'll find a wealth of talent at your fingertips. Get ready to assemble your dream squad and lead them to glory on the pitch!

Hello Fenech, I forgot to asked this, will you change current league table? like Relegate some of the club without much legend and promote some of them like deportivo la coruna.

Hello! In order to retain competitiveness, clubs will start where they belong, this will be determined by a combination of reputation and team strength also taking into account media prediction once all the teams are ready. I will be focusing on creating a vibrant and dynamic footballing universe that reflects the rich history and legendary players of the sport. This means that certain clubs may experience changes in status based on their historical significance, achievements, and the presence of iconic players in their ranks. So while I shall be manually relegating or promoting a few clubs, here and there, you can expect to see a diverse and exciting mix of teams reflecting the storied legacy of football.

Very hyped by that DB, seems like a successor of the insanely good "Return Of The Legends" db for FM20, am I wrong ?
France club teams like 1970's Saint Etienne, Olympique de Marseille 1993 team, 1990's AJ Auxerre team, 1950's Reims team, 1920' Red Star team (for the most obvious) are planned ?
Same with spanish clubs (Celta Vigo, La Coruña, Valencia 2001-2002 and 2003-2004, Bilbao legends and many others...) ?

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. But this one was the first. So all the others are successors to this

Basically every legend or icon since 1880 to 2024 is here.

Thanks for the nice words! Got another question indeed. Do you have any plans concerning the Champions League/European Cups? Was thinking, there are some throwback mods that recreate older versions of the European Cups. 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.

You're welcome! I just started playing my first throwback/legends database and I liked it, so I am very curious to find out how yours will be. Thanks for your explanation.

You're very welcome! I'm thrilled to hear that you're diving into the world of throwback and legends databases. It's an exciting journey through football history, and I'm glad to have you along for the ride. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else you'd like to know about the database, feel free to ask. Enjoy the game, and may your footballing adventures be legendary!
