I know a new feature this year is having a regen son. Has anyone noticed managers of other clubs having regen sons? In my current save, I noticed there is a regen called Luca Di Matteo who has both Italian and English nationalities.
If he's a regen he should have the weird photo-fit face, whereas if it's the real one he will either have a picture or a silhouette.
*edit*
Actually, scratch that, if I'd bothered to look I would have seen they're not related.
Does he have Roberto Di Matteo in his list of favoured personnel? If not it's just a coincidence. The random name generator does often throw up names that are already in the game.
I've had a son on FM12. He came through my youth team with the same last name as me and same nationality with me on his favoured personnel list. He was pretty **** though.
