Linus Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 ... and he is awesome: I'm playing the Lithuanian leagues so there are no other Norton's in game. I had to re-roll on the end of season quite a few times to get him. Now if I can become manager of Lithuania and have him score the winning goal at the World Cup Final I will have "completed" the game. Edit: also, I need a stadium named after me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzydeepy Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Wow, thats a great achievement to get a son and one who has quite a lot of potential (even if you did reload ). But I think as a dad you should raise his wages - £15 a week for that talent is terrible haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I can become manager of Lithuania and have him score the winning goal at the World Cup Final I will have "completed" the game. Just out of interest, how many times (roughly) did you have to replay the end of the season? I've played a stupid number of seasons since this feature was introduced without having a son I remember that quote Someone like Gudge wasn't it?

Linus Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Well I'm in 2026 and I think I probably re-rolled about 10 times for the last 5 seasons. I was beginning to give up hope.

You don't have to play for ages, you don't need success and you don't need to be at a club for a long time. Every youth intake is completely random and you have the same chance of getting a son everytime the youth are generated albeit extremely thin (1/10,000 if the estimate).

dafuge Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 You show me somebody who gets a son in their second season then. I'm guessing that age plays a part, and since I imagine most people will start with ages of around 25-30 then I think it would be pretty unlikely to get one in the second season. I may be wrong though, I'm just guessing about the age thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 You show me somebody who gets a son in their second season then. I'm sure there was a thread, maybe last year where someone got one at the end of the first season. Anyway this guy got one in 2011: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/199193-Is-today-the-day-i-finally-had-a-son-in-the-game!?highlight=sons Given how long the feature has been in the game and the number of threads that have discussed it over the last few years I'm fairly sure SI would have let slip by now if there were any additional restictions over and above random coincidence.

dafuge Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Which means I was right then. You probably will have to play for quite a bit of time until you get a son. If I'm right apout the age thing (which I'm doubtful of), then starting a game with an age of 40-45 might mean you have the best chance of getting one in your second season. I'm not sure the chances go up in every individual season you play, apart from maybe with the age factor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Come to think of it, I really hope age isn't a factor, means I've still got a chance of getting one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raware Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I think there was a thread on here a few days ago too where someone got a son in his second season. IIRC he was playing as Blackburn. I'm still waiting for my first ever son after years and years of CM/FM . IMO it makes it a lot more special when it's very rare. I think there was also a thread in here a few days ago about making sons in the game more regular. I know there's the whole argument about managers IRL who have sons and FM is a game so should be more regular but for me, it should be very rare to make it special when it does happen. That's just me though . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishu Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 You show me somebody who gets a son in their second season then. Theres a thread "I think I have a son."
