Default Idea For Future Edition of FM

I've an idea for a future edition of FM. It wouldn't require a new game as such, more so a data upgrade.

The game would start in an earlier season. Say for arguments sake, 1975. The players that start the game would be those of that day.

What would follow would be regens each season who were actual players. The regens wouldn't be random like now, but be the actual players from the past beginning their careers at the club they actually started with and have CA/PA similar to the skill levels they reached during their career. (Additional option required to randomize CA/PA for those who would want it)

An example would be Keegan starting off at Scunthorpe in whatever year he started, Beckham, Nevilles etc at Man Utd, Andy Cole at Arsenal and so on.

Starting the game from 1975 would allow you to manage players from an era before FM/CM and also allow you to once again re-manage your favourites from yester-year.

SI - is this something that has been mentioned before and would something like this (ie with regens who were fixed people and actual players from the past) be something you can programme and code?

Then again, it might just be a daft idea and only someone like myself would be interested in playing!

If you look back to those past discussions, you'll see what the problem is. It's not coding problems, it's research problems.

A database for 1975 that's accurate to the standards of the 2008 database?
Not remotely possible. It's take years to get anywhere near. SI's research team have their hands full, and are nearly all volunteers.

Plus, the historical games would very quickly turn out very different. I mean, by the time 1980 came around, it would be completely different to the real 1980, so having the same players generated would be unrealistic. So, since it would stop being historically accurate very quickly (the chances, for example, of Ferguson ending up at Man Utd would be ridiculously small, unless that was hardcoded into the game, making the game virtually unplayable), the appeal would be severely narrowed, and probably not enough people would play it to make it worth their while.

And the research, as Dave C said, would be impossible to do. Imagine being given the task of working out the heading ability of a 1975 Hereford Under-18 midfielder.

Ideally I guess it could be a neat inclusion but it's not a game seller and therefore probably won't be included.

I would love this.

It would be great playing as Man Utd in the 90's domination.

Or Liverpool keeping up the 70's and 80's domination.

It would be quality having Becks and Giggs and Scholes coming though at 19 to win the 94 season.

Having Ole Solskjaer and relive the 99 season.

This is my must wanted feature even but unfortunately it would never happen.

BUT.....

Someone COULD make a custom DB with enough work.

While in principal it's a nice idea, i just can't see a way to accurately produce data for the entire premiership from that era onwards.

The amount of work needed to produce such information for EVERY player from 1975 (or any past date) onwards would be phenomenal and as such not within the boundaries of reality.

I don't think that would be possible. What is possible (although extremely gamey) is to have an option to include great teams of the past, like Ferguson's ManU, Crujiff's Ajax, the 1971 Panathinaikos :p etc. Or an option to have great players of the past like Best, Van Basten, Dasaev, Crujiff, Beckenbauer etc come up as regens.

But as I said, that would be completely gamey and more suited to a fan-made patch.
