CONCEPT: PLAYERS
All players will be assigned to a Legend club where possible, even if they only played a season there. Players will be aged in the following manner:
Year of ____ Age in
Birth _______ Game
36-41 ______ 26
42-46 ______ 25
47-51 ______ 24
52-56 ______ 23
57-61 ______ 22
62-66 ______ 21
67-71 ______ 20
72-76 ______ 19
77-81 ______ 18
82-86 ______ 16
87-91 ______ 15
92- ________ 14
So, say, Pele, who was born in 1940, will be 26 in game (or 25, depending on birthday). Platini, born in 1955, will be 23 and Dennis Bergkamp, born in 1969 will be 20.
Again, I have to admit to getting some help. All player ratings so far are based around these excellent posts on
Xtratime Community : Welcome by a really great researcher called Dearman:
1.
INDEX : Positional Rankings Of All-Time Greats - Xtratime Community
2.
INDEX : All-Time International Squads - Xtratime Community
I should add that all of the player in post 1 above who qualify as modern legends are already in the database.
Anyway, thanks for reading all of this, please contact me if you feel like helping out in some way, hopefully we can get a few people together and make this into a really great database. Tomorrow I will post some pictures from the game, if you have any requsts for what you would like to see, post them and I will try and put them up.
