I'm very interested in this as having a son come through my youth team is something I've been wanting to happen since I forst heard about it in FM07.

But despite playing a shed load of seasons since then I'm yet to have a regen with my surname never mind one come through my youth ranks with my surname and me be their favourite personnel. My surname (Hopper) is not even that rare I don't think, but every time I stick in the search field it comes back with no results, and I'm now in 2024 with Gateshead.

I'm starting to wonder if the whole son thing is a myth. There was a lot of talk about it in '07 but I haven't heard of it happening to many people in '08/ Perhaps a few people with fairly common surname happened to have a youth player come through the ranks who coincidentally had the same surname as them and also had them as their favoured personnel, like other youth players can.

I'd like to hear something official on this as if it can happen I think it's an excellent little feature.

We have answers! Just had a "son" and due to the fact my surname doesn't exist in the database it's a certainty that he is my "son".

Anyway, in response to the above questions;

1/ There's no special message, he just comes through as a new youth product.

2/ He does not inherit second nationalities.

3/ He does have me as the top of his favoured personnel.

4/ It MAY require a manager age above 50, and even then it doesn't happen often - i re-loaded the june 18th/19th over 60 times before one appeared - i was investigating feeder club termination.

Now i can't say these things ALWAYS happen, it may be that not all sons have you listed in the fav personnel, but all i can go on is what i've seen.

The kiddo

Although there are one or two problems;

1/ i'd never plague a child of mine with the name "robbie".

2/ he looks like a bit of a ******.

lol - now to force him into the chelsea first team on his 16th birthday

Some of the things that get starred out here are just silly....it really wasn't that offensive.

Yes but apart from Gazza how many players have you seen come from Gateshead?

Hhen was this feature introduced? Was this in FM06?

I'd think that if your son made the Under-18s (or Under-20s, whatever) in real life, you wouldn't need your inbox to tell you that. Just a thought...
