erasmus777 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hello, I'm new to the forum. Does the term "regen" refer to a retired player who is regerated as a teen? I'm assuming they get a randomly generated name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitemfrank Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thats originally what it meant as what you described is what used to happen (I think). Now they should really be called newgens now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Taylor Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 That's what they used to be. The current term is "newgen", which means a completely new player is created. Players who retire stay retired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I believe they are now known as 'Freds'. I still call them regens out of habit though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Yeah, newgens is out of date. Regen= retired player who has returned, under a different name, with same attributes Newgen= retired David Beckham returns as a Swiss centre back with different attributes FRED= not linked to player retirement.

SCIAG Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Since FM2007, or maybe FM2006. My post outlines why. All the threads that outlined what FRED stood for have been deleted I think "R" was "regenerated". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Since when? :confused: Since the last development of the 'regen' system. I think it was FM08 or 07. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Same here. Where were we when this happened? :confused: Earliest mention I can find is Nov 2006, which is well before you signed up to the forums. The name never really caught on, which is why you've probably not heard it before. Everyone seems to just call them regens/newgens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggressive minor Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Regens were the best, I remember Yaw Loga, my Liberian striker in CM 96/97 being a beast, only many years later I put 2 and 2 together and realised it must have been George Weah.
