TEday36 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Is it just in my saves? After the latest update, most of the spanish newgens are called Ivan. Either their first name or their full name. Did anyone else encounter this? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Yeah I noticed the same. Also, check the Argentinian newgens, most of them are named Tomás. Extremely annoying and immersion breaking in my opinion. I have the in game editor so whenever I encounter one of these "in the wild" (as in, not actively searching for newgens) I change their first name to one from a random Argentine name generator (?) I found online. Still far from ideal. Edited May 30, 2023 by Javier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicVinegar Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I just checked my game because I just started a long term save. How incredibly annoying. Multiple teams got 3-4 Ivans during their intake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicVinegar Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 The Tomas thing might be even worse. All Boys entire intake was named Tomas except for one player. This is game breaking for me, does anyone know of a fix that doesn't involve restarting my save? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUNT3R Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Is it a custom database, perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, it doesn't touch anything to do with name generation. I didn't think that was even editable... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Had to look into this thread... I'm Spanish and my name is Ivan... but for sure it's not that common name here 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
priority76 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Nope, only two in the latest youth intake. Far more Juans, Manuels, Alejandros and Rauls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudge7 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Just had to check this out and I am indeed seeing the same. I do have a bunch of custom leagues, basically all the ones from here - but no custom transfer/data updates or anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_Zamora Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) To add to Iván in Spain, I have a Tomás avalanche in Argentina. Edited June 7, 2023 by Bobby_Zamora Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolCity1992 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Head cannon needs to be that there is some famous Activist, or awful reality star that broke out around 16 years prior hence the surge in the popularity of a particular name. How does the naming work? I imagine it's totally random for each generated person so that always means that there is a good chance of stuff like this happening as the odds of that name being picked don't actually change. I guess similar to why it feels like a playlist always gravitates towards one song even when you shuffle it each time you start a session. It seems a bias, but it's not. (At least that's how it was explained to me. I am really rubbish with maths and probability.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
