Hawar Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Why is it that you insist in creating regens? Why can't a player, once they're retired, restart his career as a 16 or 17 year old all over again? Personally I hate regens and it spolis the game for me. I buy FM to manage REAL great players. I find myself starting a new game after 8 or 9 seasons. Why don't you consider putting an option in the Prefrences where we can choose weather we play the game with regens or with simply recycled real players? And also...why is it that you won't create a feature in the database that allows us to create our own World League? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richardav Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 i would hate to see david beckham as a 16 year old again.i like to see new players come into the team and the old ones go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 FM is a simulation so having players re-appear would be far too unrealistic for that to happen and probably alot of work for something which already works well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich_sotdc Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 dumbest idea ever man, but whatever floats your boat. personally i love regens and cant wait till 4/5 seasons down the line and you start to introduce your young gem to the first squad and he becomes a legend over time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbchuz Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hawar a similar system used to be in place not all that long ago, where (to use your example) a 16 year old Beckham would be regenerated at a English club with very similar traits who would develop into the identical player that Beckham was but with a random English sounding name such as 'Ian Taylor'. If you prefer it like this go back and give one of the CMs a try, circa 2000. I think most people are fairly happy with the transition from regens to newgens though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro007 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 If players started their careers again when they retired then you would know who to sign. You would never have that feeling of finding a 16 year old Australian playing for Perth, signing him for £8k and watching him tear apart Barca in the CL Final 6 years later.

peter-evo Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 because that's stupid Could you please express your opinion with your reasons in the future as you did nothing but make the OP feel small. This is the system used in Championship Manager I believe so there is one option. I don't really no what else you can do other than restart the game frequently. I really enjoy having regens and having them develop under my guidance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
small Mac Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 If you want players recycled play versions around CM 00/01. I think regens are brilliant and actually prefer a good quality regen to a good quality real player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackant Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 You can download a 2009 updated version of CM 01/02 which I believe used that system. *free and legal, btw, not a piracy thing* Google CM01/02 2009 update and you should find it.

4457 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Clearly FM is not for you, then. It's been this way for a number of years now, since at least CM4 I think. And it's not always as easy as putting in an option in preferences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure0xygen Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I love having regens finding a 16 year old and taking him through his whole career till he retires and becomes a coach or manager and that. I'd hate it if people were regenerated but younger. I like buying real players at the start but soon after my team is just regens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cityull Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Interesting to see what people think sometimes, I must say on this one i don't agree it make perfect sense (to me that is) for the game to have regens the way they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

108 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 This has to be the single worst idea I have ever encountered on any type of internet forum. I am actually quite distressed that there is someone out there who has the cognitive ability to even form such a ridiculous idea in their brain. I hope you never get a job in which you are required to make important decisions. This idea would be absolutely ridiculous whichever way you look at it. Liverpool would have Gerrard as their captain until he retired at 35 or so, and then snap his reincarnated body up when he appears as a 16 yr old. The only way you could get around this is if your board announced they had created an age-reversing spell which you can give to your players if they have the right magical abilities. But then you'd have to introduce a magic ability out of 20, and those with higher ability could reverse further back in age. If this was to happen, you'd also have to rename the game Harry Potter Manager- and start intrdoucing fairies and goblins as reserve team coaches, and players in 3D can be shown flying around on broomsticks when kicking the ball. Come to think of it...not such a bad idea... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Strange idea. Not at lot quite as satisfying in the game as nurturing that random kid who pops up one summer into a club's hero. Much better than the idea of just signing a team of ex-superstars as cheap teenagers, winning everything for 15 years and repeating the process every time someone retires.

He voiced his opinion by throwing out his ridiculous ideas, and people have responded with their own individual opinions of how ridiculous those claims actually are.

Nomis07 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Malicious slandering is not needed to belittle somone, which is against forum rules. A lot of the comments in this thread will only serve to make the OP look stupid e.g. "I hope you never get a job in which you are required to make important decisions" It's not big and it's not clever.
