I think its just a co-insidence, many youth players you bring through often have you as their favored person. I'm not sure Id want the feature of my fictional son coming through the ranks either to be honest, Id rather just see a field added to the database that holds information about relatives (brothers, fathers ect) involved in the game. That way if you did want your son in the game you could add him to the database yourself, I have a real son and find it wierd that I would be tracking the career of a fictional son. But thats just me.

I would find a bit of info detailing fathers, uncles, sons, brothers etc who are also involved in the game though, would be handy for news items and such.

I was trying to figure this out a couple of days ago, i kept repeating the "new intake of youth players" day, and after 40 attempts i got no joy.

That said in FM07 after a 70 year career no "son" turned up so maybe the chances are just very low.

It would be quite conclusive due to the fact there is noone in the database with my surname, i will be sure to let you know if i have any luck, and more to the point, if he actually likes me.

I suppose nationality and where you manage may affect it.

For instance if you are an English manager, managing an English team you may be slightly more likely to have a son in your youth team than, say, a Brazilian managing in Scotland.

I think the game can produce regens based on your name, the same as any other name in the game, but that doesnt mean they are your son/relative.

I have a very unusual surname that isnt in the game and in previous versions ive seen it regenerated.

postal postie

Good policy tbh it would really mess up the clockwork and could bend the hands.
