i'm curious about this as well, specifically in terms of nationality. i'm american but typically load up several european leagues to see if i can get hired on to one, and in my current game i've managed in italy for around 10 years or so. my name isn't in the database so should be easy to tell which youth player is my son, but just curious if his nationality will turn up as american as well.

time to finish out the season and do some reloading and find out

I'm still not convinced its your son, as much as it's a regen that has taken your name randomly from game. I sincerely hope not anyway. It's sooooooooooo gimicky, sounds like something EA would do! What's the point?

i had one right from the start at Juve in a fake player game, pretty decent striker, but if Hanson Juniour is anything on the pitch like his pop is in the dugout at the Emirates, i can't wait!

i'll need a wifey first

Do you have to be at the club a certain amount of time for it to happen?

I tried to fraudulently put my son in game recently but you can't change names with FMM

Seriously, I can't believe you would think SI would do this! It's not 'your son' lol

Wife unfaithful perhaps.

I had a son once. He was crap. Also had the assman as fave person. (Wife could've cheated, as he looked nothing like me )

Ched - I don't know of you knew this, or cared, but since our little ........ "debate" a few months back - I put you on my ignore list. And until now, hadn't looked at one of your posts. Just like to let you know, I'd probably been a little hasty, and removed you from the list. :thup: - I've been reading around some of your posts, and you're a very informative poster here, and the forum is lucky to have you. :thup:

The game pulls names from a list, it'll have a pool of first names and a pool of surnames for any specific nationality. For example, the surname "Hdfgdfjgdfgjjjj" would not be in any database, yet if I were to register a manager with that name and reload enough times, a son would come through with that surname, and obviously it has to be a son because the name is not in the database.

SI have confirmed it's in the game. Sure it's gimicky, but it's nice to feel an attachment to a newgen player. I kinda miss regens.

That gimmicky, eh? Well I have to say I quite like the feature, its realistic as pro footballers often have their kids playing football. Just waiting for it to happen for me now .
