Father of, son of

CNOSLIM · 12-23-2020, 08:53 AM

I was wondering if you guys will be expanding in this for cousins and what not... but I've created my family ... my nephews and father and brother etc, etc, etc.... I was wondering if you will have an option so I can add our generations to the game... as I my 9 yrs old nephew asked me if I linked me and pop, and him and his dad yet in the game.

Just thought I'd asked as it would be a great option to be able to do ... or do I have to go through a full year or something before they all register as such and such...

Any chance this could be done for an update.. as it would be more immersive having a family lineage type in the game for created players..I wanna do a family of Japanese players high profile father then the sons and would also like to have them connected make japan a powerhouse or Great Britain in the world cups eventually 😃😃 me and my nephew is having a blast with it so far... he just became qhmjl rookie of the year or chl whatever it is lol...his my other nephew came second.and I bought him his own version of the game.

Unlikely to happen anytime soon. Father-son connections are simple to do, one field in a player's record and it's covered. Other relationships get more complicated, since for e.g. the Sutter brothers, we'd need a simple way of connecting each of the 7 to the other 6, and it'd get even messier if we got into something like cousins. It'll probably require an approach different than we use for fathers and sons, which means some new data structures, which is something we try to avoid in mid-game updates.

Thanks for the reply and honestly I feel u on that.. but the created father and son dont show up when I put said father or son in... each are created players just wondering how I can do it with my created players...as I do have my brother as a gm and created his son but it wont show either name when I try to connect them...same as i created my father and myself same issue... just wondering if and when will the system read them in game so i can do the connection if at all..

Thank you for your time and reply
