Snorks Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Yes it's still possible I believe, but not sure what the odds are. Or what the criteria are that trigger that possibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heywood JaBlowme Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Have to be at the same club for 20 years, don't you? I doubt it's changed from '18. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got a "couple"? I've been playing more than 1,000 hrs the last 5 versions at least, and never got one. Guess I'm not popular enough with the ladies in the FM world to get a son...

Johnny Ace Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I thought this was a purely 1 in 10,000 chance from your youth intake if you were over a certain age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallimuse Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Hoping to see this happen for me this year as my plan with FM19 is to be a 1 save 1 club type deal. Managed 1 save, 5 clubs in FM18, 37 years but no son. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunsey Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I have a relative who plays FM12 and last we spoke I believe he was in the year 2074, or the 74th season, either way they are both plenty of time for a son but has never happened, assuming it was in the game back then anyway.

ryanlion28 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 The 'have to played 10 years' is a myth, only thing that's relevant is age, you have to be early 30's+. can happen in your 1st season or your 100th, just a 1/10,000 chance. I've never got one, and i spent hours once reloading my save to get one, you're really lucky if it happens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm in my 50s, my 36-year-old wife is the chairwoman at my club and has been for a few iterations of FM now.

hluraven Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I can confirm that I got a son in 2025 (FM19) so there definitely isn't a 10 or 20 year limit. My first son in any FM and he was useless enough to be instantly released by me and never signed by another club. Retired 2026. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Drundrige Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Bumping this old thread...I think I've just got a son in my youth intake. I'm old enough, and he has the same surname, birth place is the town where the club is based and I'm down as one his favourite personnel (as a 'Manager') I read somewhere else I would be listed as a "father figure" if he was my son...anyone know if that's correct? There's too many other coincidences for it not to be my son, it's not a common surname for starters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weed07 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I got my first ever FM son on FM19 and i've played every version since it was possible. I got him in the 19/20 season so only the second season He's not very good Goalkeeper (conference north standard), despite that i've had him on the bench in cup finals, and since i've been England manager he's played in goal against the rubbish teams and hes the designated pen and free kick taker. At 21 years old, hes won the checkatrade trophy, the European Championship, the European International League, the Confederations Cup, the Community Shield and the Carabo Cup. Hes also been capped 27 times scoring 9 goals! He's not good enough to play for my club team though so only gets on the bench and will come on as sub if were winning by a lot. He missed out on a prem medal last season as he only played 9 games because i forgot he needed to play 10 games. I'll make sure in the future he gets 10 games in so he gets league winners medals too.

Well, if you have given him his professional debut you often get into the list. Most of my youth players have me listed there. And the name, well I guess it is a coincidence, but if you have a common name, then I guess it's more likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmonit Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Good reading this topic. I started a save with the intent of getting a son, and a stadium named after me. I started with my age of sweet 42, but sounds like that may be too old to generate a son. I was still thinking that after 10-20 years with a club I'll get a chance to get one. Guess I was wrong. If I only new 15 seasons ago when I started the save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
