Because they get professional players wrong all the time, so to me it seems like a huge investment populating a database of semi-professional players they haven't seen or barely know exist. I can garuantee for a fact most of the scouting is just guessing; they've been articles around the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An analyst, per se, who knew their respective club to feedback on what stats to put players in for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted February 9, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted February 9, 2020 The whole thing is pretty extensive actually. Even back in the early 2000s my Mum would get free copies of the game to send them the stats for Cambridge United players and they'd have a whole team of people to moderate the stats and make sure the player's overall ability was suitable for the league and tweak accordingly where necessary. That was 15 years ago, it's probably even more full on now. The game has such reach that I don't think it would be hard to find someone even from the likes of Swedish Second Division who is reasonably well informed enough to give them some decent stats and fancies having a go at it in exchange for a couple of free copies of the game.

An analyst, per se, who knew their respective club to feedback on what stats to put players in for. I was the Spurs researcher for 3 seasons, maybe 4, can’t remember. But yeah everything spurs related was done by me in the database. Changes to players abilities, wages, contracts, favoured personnel etc etc. Inputting all the youth players, judging their potential, was a lot of work. And each major club has its own researcher. The Semi pro players are real, I had a few friends on there as well, and they remain in the database for years. I’m also on a number of games because one of the perks of doing the job is having all your details entered into the regen generator so you appear in people’s youth intakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Yeah the semi pro players are real. One lad I went school with scored a free kick in a friendly against the Chelsea kids (Sahar, Woods, Cork etc) at Hampton & Richmond. It was quite obvious that an FM researcher was there as he had something like 14 for set pieces and everything else was 1 and 2 A couple of the AFC Wimbledon lads that played for their academy/reserves remained on the game until about FM13 when they left in 2009 too.

Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted February 10, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted February 10, 2020 Name: James Fish Position: CM/CAM Club: Grimsby Town CA: 100 PA: 200 James came through the ranks at Grimsby. Born and bred in the fishy town, James is well known for being a creative midfielder who as much enjoys scoring goals as he does creating them for his teammates. A firm fan favourite already, this kid is destined for big things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umberto comes from Italian parents, and rumors are that his father is actually Gigi Buffon, but no one talks about it because it irritates his 'dad' who is a good man. Umberto is a tall kid, already the same height as his idol, Gigi, and best friends with James. Growing up, they used to pretend of a day when they could take their dream club, Grimsby, to the Premership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpache Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 First test is done. The database does work. I'm in 2038 and no problems with the sim. Here is how my career went to get an example of the things we'll cover. We will do an update yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
