GUNNER500 thats not his real image btw, that's Vincenzo Guglielmelli. Mascio doesnt exist irl, wish he did though, he is amazing in FM. always sign him when im with a lower league team and he soon becomes my best player.
I find this post from the SI forum about Mascio pretty funny
"Mascio isn't real.
He is an anomaly in the game, a random creation in the database -somewhat of a freak of computing nature. Some say he is the embodiment of FM - an attempt for the game to represent itself in playabale form. It's uncontrolled by the developers, the game is growing its own thought processes and abilities to imitate itself through its own free will.
What we are see here is the first step of artificial intelligence procreating - striving for the basic human wants of reproduction. Do not be fooled, 'Mascio' is the first hard evidence we have of technology growing apart from human control. The SI developers may well be at the forefront of science."
