[edit] Player Database
The player database currently contains over 30,000 real-world players, and this figure is increasing all the time. Players currently on the database have played competitive football for their respecitve club(s), and therefore have been added over time. Each player within the database also has a rating, and this is called a player rating. Player Ratings are constantly reviewed on a regular basis, and is included in the ratings schedule.
[edit] Adding Players
New players will constantly be added to the player database by our researchers, however they will only be added if they have played a first team game in a competitive match. A player will not be added to the game if he appears in a friendly match, reserve game or similar.
Please Note: You can also scout and notify us of a new player(s) via 'SM Support'. If we add this player to the database then we will notify you. The player will then not show on the new players list for 48 hours which will give you the first opportunity and time to attempt to buy the player as you took time to scout them.
[edit] Duplicate Players
Mistakes will be made with regards to the database, and we do our upmost to ensure accuracy and pride ourselves on our database. However with regards to some players around the world having a different alais we again try to ensure accuracy but clearly mistakes can happen. If a duplicate player does appear within our database we will try our upmost to retire the duplicate player.
[edit] Retired Players
A player can retire from the database for a number of reasons, and some reasons include retiring in real-life, retiring due to being a duplicate player or retiring due to moving to a club not within our database or similar. A compensation package is available for any player within the datbase who retires, and the club will receive the full SM value of the player that retires at the end of a season.
[edit] Players Age
Due to using real life players within the database, when a player ages in real life, he will also age within our database to coincide with his birthday.
[edit] Database Queries
We do our best with the resources we have to ensure the database is accurate and up-to-date. However with over 30,000 real-world players on the database we can not guarantee 100% accuracy. However, if you simply inform us of incorrect data we would be more than happy to change it. If you have any queries in relation to the database you can discuss this on the SM Forum or alternatively contact us via 'SM Support'.
