Legends Patch - Support Your Country

9-Ball

Youth Team
Hi Chaps,

I'm in process of building a large Legends Patch, covering players from 1920 through till the present day. I'm trying to include all the legendary/great players from that period. Obviously, this gets subjective but I'd be curious if anyone can think of any players who 'we' might think qualify for such a list that the project is missing, to date. The full provisional list of included players is shown before. Some might be pulled. I'm approximately 40% through player/roster creation and am moving into archiving graphics for minifaces and faces. Current gen players included but not all in the list. Input on missing legends/greats appreciated.

Note: If this thread grows busy/argumentative, I'll simply say that any nominated player that's seconded by 2 others gets in, so we don't devolve into a giant subjective brawl about the merits of Jasper Olsen or Toni Polster :P

Youth Team
Thanks Keeper. Just a clerical error on the post, rather than the list. Now fixed. Sorry, Chile! :)
 

veggt

Senior Squad
Add Rabah Madjer and Lakhdar Belloumi for Algeria, they both scored in the historic win against Germany (2-1) in the 1982 World Cup, as Madjer won the European Champions' Cup in 1987 as he scored the equaliser for Porto against Bayern with a wonderful backheel (It was the first time a professional football player scored with a backhell, and sometimes when a player scores like that it's called a Madjer) he was also among the top scorers of the 1987-88 edition, as he was named man of the match of the 1987 Intercontinental Cup against Peñarol. He was named African Footballer Of The Year 1987
Lakhdar Belloumi was a really underrated player, some injuries and other reasons prevented him to go to Europe (I think even Juventus wanted him). He was named African Footballer Of The Year 1981
Both are the best algerian players of the 20th century

Add also Badou Ezzaki for Morroco, a great goalkeeper

You can add Hatem Trablesi for Tunisia

Also for Australia:

Johnny Warren
Craig Foster
Zeljko Kalac
Mark Schwarzer
Tony Popovic
Vincenzo Grella

EDIT: I was also thinking of making a Classic Teams patch but with only the world cup winners and or Netherlands, but having to incorporate old and current players was really hard. :(
 

9-Ball

Youth Team
Canniggia certainly in.

Simeone was in but erroneously in the Italy group. Now fixed.

I will have to research the others listed here later today and get back. Thanks for the input!
 

Waldo1639

Senior Squad
From Croatia, Boško Balaban was good, but I wouldn't say he is in the same basket as the others. Your choice. Niko Kovač was captain, now he leads Croatian national team, and he is absolute legend. Add him definitely. Also, its Alen Bokšić, only one l in Alen, not Allen.
 

9-Ball

Youth Team
Hi Waldo,

thanks for chiming in. Fixed the Boksic typo. Also I agree on adding Niko Kovac. He's in the list now. As for Balaban, I went back to look at stats and while they don't tell the whole story, his time at Brugge aside, I'm inclined to agree. His notoriety might have made him more well known than his play. Thanks again.

Reserve Team
Wow,this is great,EA missed a lot of legends,please keep this up,and do you think u can create all the faces in this list? Thank you!
 

9-Ball

Youth Team
Hey steven,

yes, I have all the minifaces by now (pending any additions) and a good number of the textures. I'm going to have to hunt for models for some and textures for others and make what's left.
 

9-Ball

Youth Team
Thanks for the offer to help find the 3d faces/textures. It is indeed going to prove a major task.

I have the player roster finalized with some new additions (top list edited to reflect those) and all the mini face graphics are collected or created.

I'll collate current 3d face graphics tonight and update the thread with the list of remaining/required faces.

i am really interested in this project,and thinking over this a lot,so here are more ideas :

NIGERIA :

Sunday Oliseh

JAPAN :

Hidetoshi Nakata

ITALY:

Christian Panucci
