Hello mate, cheers for your interest.
To answer the question, yes. But, if you remember your history, FM started out as a shadow of the game it is now, with a much smaller database. Their game and their database has vastly grown over the years, the point being it's taken time to get it like that. So what I'm saying is, thats what we're aiming for, but it wont happen overnight. The long term view is that the database will get so huge, it'll even incorporate club boxers, and youth talent (like Football Manager does youth teams and non league football), but its important to remember that when FM started out, they never had youth teams or non league. That came later when they had established a smaller database involving just the main leagues. So thats the lesson we need to learn (or I need to learn). To take things slowly and be patient and build the database up in layers over time.
I certainly envisage that the first database we'll be working with will be large enough to get lost in, but not so huge that it will take me 5 years to build. Can you see where the balance is? When you're starting something
from scratch like this, you have to make it big enough to hold people's attention, but not so big that your forever working on it and never get anything released. So I'm not trying to be over ambitious. We'll do this in steps and build it up over time, just like Football Manager did (I remember when it was Championship Manager in the 1990's, they did'nt even have foreign leagues back then! Just 4 divisions to choose from but even so, the game was very very enjoyable even with such a snaller database, so I'm not trying to rain on your hopes or anything like that).
Sorry for waffling on, I realise a simple "yes" would have done but I'm trying to get across as much info as I can. Thanks for the question.
