Interactive Create a Player Career III - Update 40: 2029-30 Season
July 12, 2016 2:36AM
edited September 2016
During this last fall, I ran a pair of interactive games in this style in which we were able to follow the careers of fictional characters designed by us the forum members. I have decided that with the end of Merte's game imminent, I will bring back this interactive game for a third and, for this year, final time so that the forum doesn't completely die out during these summer months. Those of you who have participated in the previous versions of this game already know how it works, but for those of you who don't, I have provided a small excerpt from my previous two versions of this to better explain this.
You will be able to choose everything about the player except for the birth year, which will be 2000 for every player, and the starting club. They will all begin their career club-less. To join, all you have to do is fill out the below template.

It could be based off of you, someone you wish you could be, a friend, an entirely fictional character, etc. I will be posting those players' process throughout their careers. Their career trajectory will be based entirely off of the attributes that you choose for your player. You won't be able to directly interfere with the player's career, and neither will I.

I'm guessing he just chucks them in a CM game and Sims some seasons?
I create all the players based on the information provided in the templates and randomly generate a current ability for the players between 105 and 115 (in FIFA's rating system that's mid to high 60's) and give every player a potential of -10, which has the game give them a potential between 170 and 200 (high 80's to 99 in FIFA) which can slightly fluctuate based on performance level and training facilities, among other things.
Once I've created all the players, I insert that database into Football Manager 16, an extremely in-depth football simulation game that can run just about every league in the world simultaneously, and simulate without interference from myself, providing daily updates on the players' careers that span about a third of a calendar year per update until every player has retired.
Tldr; Essentially what @Greenman019 said
Yep, doing it on FM16 like the other ones. He wasn't part of the forums back then though, if I remember correctly, so that's why he didn't know.
