Serdar Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I think your name and surname is added to name generator for that nation so eventually after some time some regens will hold your name. Of course if they also list you as a favourite personal as default it suggests that you are relatives potentially son&father. Nice feature and even if these are just coincedence; still nice that it can happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

renz Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 why cant fm make it easier, and like if ure son come's through the youth ranks, then you get a news item saying about your son ?? instead of having to guess, due to him having you as favoured personel if you play him and he not good, then players and fans could get restless, and say stuff like, they think ............ is only playing because he is manager's son just sumit i think would be good aquasistions to fm09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't like SI to expand on this feature at all for FM09, I think it's cool as it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
County Kenny Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Good point. My manager name is Gypsum Fantastic. So if I see a John Fantastic coming through the ranks he'll either be my son, or the best self-publicist since Beckham. Haha, I have one game running where my manager name is Optimus Prime, any offspring should be easy to spot but having said that, Prime isn't a particularly uncommon surname.

jonahno6 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 My second name is Jones in game Might use FMM to change it too something different like Rodriguez, and then I know if I see a English player with the second name of Rodriguez, I'll know he's mine. :*****).

I always add a punctuation mark to my name now so that I will know for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRob Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Top post! Looking forward to seeing the results of your experiment as I've often thought of doing that myself, but this is better motivation for sure, than anything I could think of...

18-WATP-73 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have at last got a son in the game. He has come up through my youth academy here at Benfica at the start of the 2037/38 season. His name is Erik.My coaches don't rate him very highly but I'm hoping he will improve greatly. I am quite excited about following his career, even if it is not with us. Erik's Profile Page Erik's Personal Page Very exciting. However, all is not well. I have noticed a slight issue with his nationality, which is Portuguese, with Dutch second. He is listed as being born in Lisbon. Fair enough you might think - I am a Dutch manager managing a Lisbon-based team in Portugal. The thing is, his d.o.b. is 19th Feb 2021 and you can see from my achievements screen that I was in fact still managing Ajax back in Amsterdam at that point. So his birth place should really be Amsterdam and his primary nationality should be Dutch. My Manager Achievements Page Note that he also says (in the second screenshot) he would opt to play for Portugal, which obviously I'm not thrilled about but it's his decision I suppose! Now how's work coming along on the old "Estádio do van der Veenstraat"? been trying long? congrats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHL Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I already did, he's out on loan at one of my feeders, Salamanca in the Spanish second division. They have put him in the reserves! Next season I will being the "can a really rubbish striker do well in one of Europe's top leagues if he's playing as a lone striker with a great team behind him" experiment.How I'm going to explain to the board and fans why I'm playing him while close to €200m worth of talent warms the bench I do not know. How are your plans for the above turning out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mag man Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Ive never had a son in the game in all my time playing I wonder if the age you start at affects the chances of you having one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordRamsFan Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I was wondering... Does it have any effect on what option you pick at the beginning? Like it gives you an option if you was a 'former player' etc etc... So you only can have a footballing son if you was a footballer yourself? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGLiverpool Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I wonder, if your son favourite personnel is you and your ass man, and your ass man has you as 100 in favoured personnel (use FMRTE to find this) then perhaps you and the ass man had a gay relationship. Or maybe if they assistant manager is female, then you got very personal with her, and perhaps she is your "a*s woman". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
