DATABASE MAIN FEATURES:

Details Information
All players born in the same decade will have the same birth year. Every difference of a decade means a difference of one year.
Players who were born in 1940s will start the game at the age of 22. (e.g Pelé and Cruyff)
Players who were born in 1950s will start the game at the age of 21. (e.g Zico and Platini)

Players who were born in 1980s will start the game at the age of 18. (e.g Messi and CR7)
This database contains even players who were born in 1880s

Contract and International Data
There is no Maradona at Napoli or van Basten at AC Milan, where the legends play in their famous playing club. All players will play at their real playing club history based on their age when the game started. So, Maradona will play at Argentinos Jrs and van Basten at Ajax, because they were there at the age of 20; Ronaldo will play at PSV and Zidane will play at AS Cannes, because they were there at the age of 19.
This applies also to legendary managers.
Some players that played in small reputation club and/or lower league will have a set a future transfer to their next club with random transfer fee. (e.g Zidane will join Bordeaux in 2021)

Furthermore, all players will have international data included. (e.g Pelé has 32 int. apps and 33 goals at the age of 22, maradona has 20 int. apps and 8 goals at the age of 20)

In addition, players who play abroad will have an additional languages that are used in their based nation.

    Have installed but no Tommy Taylor or Bill Foulkes and have this seasons team with the add ons so have wan bissaka and Johnny Carey for example is this correct i thought it would be stand alone like Return of the Legends

    @Rdf the database would be compatible, but for the facepack you have to rename all the ID to match the ID given by the FM20

    Thanks! This is a lot of fun to play with once you get it set up, by the way. The players seem to be created accurately, and it's fun to cheat and set up a super team.

    @Alafgani yes I know, but since in this version there are more characters, I was wondering if it was backward compatible, just like LOTBG 2020 was for FM19 for example.

    @Rdf LOTBG for FM20: https://www.fmscout.com/a-db-the-legends-of-the-beautiful-games.html

    @smileads1 put the file you've downloaded to Editor Data folder on FM21 folder location; Start a new game with 21.4.0 database

    @dnzg66 You can see the list by visit Steam Workshop Page and see the change notes tab.

    There are a few problems, but otherwise this works well.

    The FMF wants to start creating players with UID 2000086546. However, in every single game I've tried to start, the game begins creating players with UID 2000088000. I'm not sure why this is the case.

    That screws up the shortlist and the photo pack, though both problems are relatively easy to fix. It took me about a half hour to make sure that the photos were connected with the right players, and it took a few minutes to create a new shortlist with the created players.

    It would have been nice if the creator would have given us a list of players outside the game as well.

    Awesome! Can this database also be used with older versions of FM? Just like the 2020 version database coud.
    I can't wait for it to be implemented with all other legends, especially from teams like Torino, Leeds or Nottingham, otherwise they will have yes some champions, their fantastic coaches, but still remain low ranking teams.
