Ruh Roh Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I understand why there aren't ever going to be regens related to real people - but it would be nice to see if there were regens who were related to each other. Football families are rare, but it would be a nice immersion thing to see the 1-in-1000 chance where both brothers are good players, or twins come from the same academy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adzke Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I had a set of brothers in (I think) FM15. One of them was a world beater, and a couple of years after signing him, I had his brother come through my youth team as a once in a generation prospect. It made my day.

CFuller Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Newgen brothers have been in FM for years. In FM13, for instance, I had a goalkeeper come through my youth intake who was the younger brother of an Irish winger I'd recently signed. Indeed, real-life staff members (and I think players as well) can have newgen brothers/sons. Newgen relatives do seem very rare to me, though, especially when you take into account the increasing numbers of up-and-coming players whose fathers or uncles played the game to a high professional standard. I'd like to see newgen brothers and offspring become slightly more common in future FMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruh Roh Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 I've genuinely never seen it, not even in a screenshot. But if they have some kind of numerical figure for "percentage of footballers who are blood relatives with another footballer that would be eligible for your database," maybe it makes sense.

gibbo11 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I think I've only ever seen one set of siblings so would agree with the rarity. Agree also with @CFuller, I feel there should be more regens with relatives from within the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
