OK, in order to get a few people playing it and hopefully provide some good feedback, I'm going to release the beta version. But, I must stress this is a beta version, and by no means complete. My hope is that people will be excited by the possibilities and want to help out with the project, as that is the only way a really good legends DB will ever get out there.
Some points:
1. Ratings. I definitely want feedback on players ratings, but please, can you only comment on the ratings that you see within the editor, they are often distorted within the game itself, maybe due to age, reputation or whatever.
2. Finances. I received some good feedback already saying I have made the legend clubs too rich and thus the game too easy. This is definitely valid but there was a reason, mainly that the DB wasn't finished and a lot of squads were quite small and so I wanted the big clubs to have funds to strengthen, and it also meant the great South American players were quickly brought over to Europe so we get to see some amazing CPU sides.
Unfortunately, it means that whatever legend club you choose will be very rich and thus the game quite easy. My advice if you want a challenge is to choose a team and then remove the transfer and wage budget changes in the editor before you start.
3. Facepack. The facepack is not complete, I simply added the best (ish) 300 players faces to give a taste of what the finished article should look like.
Anyway, I hope a few of you download it and put in some hours and give it a solid play test, I would really appreciate any constructive feedback. There will be errors, some players from the old DB were blank (just a potential ability number entered and a position), and I'm bound to have missed / messed up plenty of stats, but hopefully it's a good starting point and eventually can end up being the legends DB many of us have been after for some time.
