Description of issue
I am using an edited database, (but I've also checked & others not using an edited database are experiencing the same issues). I think it's highly unlikely that the bug I'm reporting is linked in any way to the edited database.
The database I'm using linked the Scottish Lower Leagues to the Scottish Professional pyramid.
I started as Manager of Tullibody Community FC 1999 in what was Tier 13 of the edited database. I started the game with the Beta, (or early access as you like to call it now), and have played the game until March 2057, (so the recent Youth Intake was our 34th of this save).
I recently collated info on the surnames of the players who have come through the intakes, and I check every single player for a family link ever single season.
During the course of the save I have seen 12x Wilson, 7x each of Brass, Hogarth, Severin & Tomaszewski, 6x each of Fotheringham, McMullan, Reid, McManus, Smith & Weir, 5x each of Hilson, Martin & Niven, 4x each of Bonar, Davidson, Dick, Donald, Dunn, Hastings, Herron, Kelly, Kemp, McLean, Morrison, Murray, Robertson, Stewart & Thompson.
Not a single one of these players, or any other player that came through our Academy via the Youth Intake had any sort of family link with any other player/staff member.
Even regularly checking players at other clubs, I could find not a single player in the whole database who had a family link with another player/staff member in the game. None.
I think this is highly unlikely to be related to the edited database.
It's possible that it was something that happened in the early access game but can't be resolved without starting a new game, (although others playing similar style long-term games started after the full game was released have also experienced the same problem).
Would you mind letting me know if this is something you were aware of and if it's been resolved or not, (or not but it hopefully will in FM25).
Thanks in advance.
ps. I have regular saves available all the way throughout my save if needed, but I don't expect you will find it hard to replicate this issue.
