JeffDogg Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Having spent 11 years in the club, I was hoping to get my son in the academy (I never did). I saved june 29, and keep reloading to see, and nothing. Do we agree that the only requirement is to be 34 or more? Have you ever had your son in your academy? Also, I wonder why I bother upgrading the youth facilities, the staff and the academy budget, I mostly get one new player, sometimes 2, and they never go above 2* potential, except twice (3.5*), on like 40 or 50 tries.

Constantine Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Read somewhere that you must have a player (who's been with you for 10+ years) retire at your club. That's one of the requirements (although, that might be for Touch version) But better wait for someone more informed... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffDogg Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Wow that would be a very weird specific requirement. That wouldn't make much sense to ask for that. Well, then I guess Amador will stay with us a few more seasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sorrenmills Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Been playing FM (and prior to that CM, for that matter) for more years than I care to remember. Never had a stadium named after me. Never seen a regen son. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 played every game from way back to about 07 ish. only ever had 1 son. Stadium naming was more common for me. Similar thread puts odds of son at 1: 10 000 so pretty damn rare Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehibb Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I got a son once in FM14 or FM15 I think, whilst managing AS Roma. I actually got him in the first intake, second one at most. Not had one since though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savo7en Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I had a son in fm17, 5 seasons into a save and only after 1 season with the club where he appeared. My manager profile was aged over 40 at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffDogg Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 These odds are very low. For something that can be funny and interesting, without breaking the game, I think it could be higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yolixeya Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I have never got a son, never had a stadium named after me, never had a that April Fools' joke. I did have player come out as gay on FM18 but I dont know how rare is that. What are the requirements for having a stadium named after you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffDogg Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 My board announced a new stadium, named after me Although we would go from 26k to 37k, I don't really see the point. Just go to 50k or something. We have a crap ton of money, and we're playing the CL semies every season since like 4-5 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ExeChris Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 Never had a son in all my time playing. My theory is that as the game can see the amount of time I spend playing it, it reckons (not without good reason), that as I spend so long playing a computer game I'm not likely to enter into an actual relationship with a real life other person and therefore am very unlikely to have a child. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leejerwood Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Just received my 2023 intake and guess what, my son, Paul Jerwood is in. Unfortunately, he's only showing as a 2 star prospect so I might have to do a Fergie and move him on down the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz&Sacha7 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I had a son once a long time ago, and at the time I knew nothing of the feature, and thought it was pure coincidence haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grootinho Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I've had a son in my academy on several FM, on FM15 and FM19 mainly. On FM19 he arrived when i was at the club since 25 years with legend record and an trainer age of 51 years old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
