Stevicus Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Is it possible to get a son in 08? Just started a save on 08 and I want to know if I can get a son. It would give me a reason to keep going for as long as I can and as I cannot run 09, i was thinking maybe this could happen on 08. Anybody know if it is possible? Cheers, Steve.

ahmufcwafc Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The chances are approx 10,000-1 from what I've heard, so good luck trying to find one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice feature to have to make a family, I know it is a FIFA feature, but to be honest, at least we will have a rough idea when we get our sons:p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I've played FIFA Manager 08. The whole family idea is way too gimmicky for my liking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevicus Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 For a moment I thought you were serious. You weren't, were you? I was not being serious:p But i have had a brainwave! Why not an item in our inbox stating that the birst of your first child has brought you a little baby boy!?!? Then we can start planning for the future, aiming to get to a club where your son will get the benefit of better training facilities. I would like SI to make the chance of getting a son more frequent. And also maybe the possibility of multiple children or twins, but make this less frequent and likely. Thoughts?

Maybe we could even have our total wage lower, as we have to buy cots and bibs? But of course it would rise a little too, child benefits et al.

I for one, think it is a great way of avoiding the FIFA family gimmick, and still getting a son. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter-evo Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Maybe a news item telling you that your son is one of those enrolled at the start of the season. Just a sort ot FYI at the end of the annual message. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 what is this fifa family gimmick??? When you add a new manager, you have to create you own family - add a wife/girlfriend, and then kids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevicus Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 what is this fifa family gimmick??? You know, on FIFA manager, where you can get a wife, and so much offspring, your bed will need its springs repaired every so often. My suggestion can notify you of future sons without going down the whole "family tree" route. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no, that is a feature on FIFA manager, it has been suggested before, and became a vastly unpopular idea. I mean, all i would like is an increased probability of getting a son, and a notification beforehand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if we didn't have to progress through our save HOPING for a son, we should be able to progress with optimism that we will produce a son.

ahmufcwafc Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 What you could do if you're that desperate is save before the regen generation date and keep re-loading until you get a son. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
