number11 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I choose my correct birthday, Jan 10, 1985 before starting the game and it arbitrarily gives me 11.12.1975. :confused: It's not like this game is US President and I have to be 35 you know.

fdawsoniv Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 There is a minimum set for how young you can make your manager. I think it's 30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Stinson Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 My current game was started at 29 (fake 1980 birth year). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlo116 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 you can actually be 25 or 26 but if you set it below that it changes it to 30. As for the op i have no idea why it wont let you choose 1985. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jld123 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Jan '85 would make you 24 at the start of the game in most countries wouldn't it? Don't know why it changed the day and month though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 You have to be 25 when you start the game. If you are any younger it automatically changes it. I think its in the game for realism because you dont really see many 13 year old managers or 19 year old managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikari2001 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 i used to wonder that for ages.. now though I'm of a suitable age to be a manager according to FM, LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Lucas Posted August 12, 2010 Administrators Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yeah, you have to set a date of 25 years or older for it work, otherwise it defaults to 30; just for realism reasons. Something I've done in the past is start a game and holiday until my 25th birthday and start then. You might want to try that (unless you're really young to which point it might not make a lot of sense). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoRobbo Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 So in FM 11 I still wont have my correct D.O.B, I was 25 last week. If I start in England in June/July that would still make me 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'm thinking of taking the game date to June 2011 before job hunting, for a few reasons, while the age thing isn't a big issue for me, it would be mildly satisfying being able to get it right and as it happens it'll be just past my 25th so I can.

Reganio Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 You can use FMRTE to change the date of birth and therefore age of your manager if you so wish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
