Pricey85 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Just thinking about this, i have unfortunately never had any mini me's come through the ranks but could this whole system not be a potential conflict of interests? For instance, i would most probably be tempted to play my progeny, rubbish or not, in most of my games just top try and make him a world beater, after all you need to support the kids don't you? Therefore it could concievably happen that i am keeping a sub par player in my squads because he's my son. I would quite like other team members to slate me in the press for this, e.g. "Elano has accused Matt Price of professional Bias in the wake of Lil Johnny Price's selection in the Manchester derby this weekend, Elano feels that Lil Johnny's recent performances do not warrant a place in the first team and went on to imply that his inclusion in the squad is based on his relationship with the manager." I like this idea, always thought the media aspect needed an overhaul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has absolutely fantastic skills though. Please tell me how should I know if he is my son (god IRL this would have been embarrasing)? By the way.. In the game I am 32 and he is 16.

nk86 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 just wondering... if you were that desperate to have a son in the game... surely you could save the game just before your intake of new youth players and keep reloading it until one of those players is your son? i'm talking theoretically here. instead of waiting years and years you could do it as soon as possible. it is random after all isn't it? because i hear some people get their son when they are only 35, others never do. maybe we could beat the system? thats if you really did want to spend all your time trying to get a son in the game!

As long as he doesnt score own goals or leak goals like crazy (if he is keeper). Good luck with ya and your son. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

comish60 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Never had a son in the game either! 5th year at a lower league club, I'm 41 in the game. Nice feature though. Question for anyone who's ever had a son in the game...when he first appeared, was he the one that your assistant recommended? For example did it say "player X is one of the better players from this year's intake" etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elf_30 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 after many hours, never really paid much attention but this does bring up something I have not seen mentioned anywhere. If managers in the game can have sons, do the greats of today, Rooney, Ronaldo, Persie, Adabayour and the like also have sons come up later once they are old enough and possibly retire? Just a thought Peace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Persie? Adabayour? I guess you not an Arsenal fan, as its van Persie and Adebayor (sorry to be picky) Ive got a player in my youth academy with mylast name, yet its my coach not me on his fav. personal! My evil wife, and that coach is getting the sack! Bah! Its my name on the birth certificate, so Alex is my kid! AND THAT COACH IS PAYING ME COMPENSATION! Well, i know hes not, but who cares? I love him like he;s my own Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elf_30 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Oops, forgot the Van and no, not an Arsenal fan, Man Utd but oh well, would be cool to see that happen.
