stevie_G_32201 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 regens are the new players introduced into the game after every season to keep a good amount of players in the game to compensate for the ones who retire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jones Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Regenerated players. Basically as players retire fake players are made up to refill the database. These are known as Regens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Macklam Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 what exactly are regens? what are the graphic faces things aswell didnt play much 08 just previous versions.Cheers Regens are the players that replace players who retire in the game. The graphic faces are the one these regens have on their profile. Check some of the coaches out etc. as these have regen faces. Don't worry not everyone will of played FM08 so no worries.

Masenyah Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 The term is actually outdated. Back in the days of CM, new players were literally regenerated (hence the name) from the players who retired. Thus, when Ronaldinho retired, there would be a 16 yr old Brazilian youngster with the same PA, position and the same attribute distribution as Ronaldinho introduced into the game. The system was changed a few yrs back but the catchy name stuck around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMaster#28 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think the phrase "newgens" tried to replace "regens" but it never stuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftback in the changing room Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 The term is actually outdated. Back in the days of CM, new players were literally regenerated (hence the name) from the players who retired. Thus, when Ronaldinho retired, there would be a 16 yr old Brazilian youngster with the same PA, position and the same attribute distribution as Ronaldinho introduced into the game. The system was changed a few yrs back but the catchy name stuck around. This is the most correct answer so far. Many CM teams were built on the reincarnations of Alan Shearer, Paul Gascoigne, Dennis Bergkamp, Romario etc. You may also have heard of: Newgens: A name coined to reflect the fact that the new players were generated 'from scratch' to describe the new player generation system. FRED: SI were using this term themselves for a new player generation algorithm for FM07. As far as I know it doesn't actually sound like anything; although it looks like it should.

stevie_G_32201 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 you have to wait until they first regen's are introduced into the game before you see them. i think its july 17th not sure on that tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMaster#28 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Regen faces are disabled in the demo (check the preferences it's greyed out) but new/regens do exist. Check lower league youth teams for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted November 11, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted November 11, 2008 The term is actually outdated. Back in the days of CM, new players were literally regenerated (hence the name) from the players who retired. Thus, when Ronaldinho retired, there would be a 16 yr old Brazilian youngster with the same PA, position and the same attribute distribution as Ronaldinho introduced into the game. The system was changed a few yrs back but the catchy name stuck around. Its only outdated on FM PC - that uses 'newgens' (or whatever we're calling it these days ) ... FMH still uses regens and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future (simply because it retains the database balance nicely with minimal processing requirements which is very important on the PSP).
