How many seasons?

I owned OOTP 17 (I believe it was) and really enjoyed it. I have not had the game since.

I was wondering what are the most seasons that you have played in a career?

When you get years down the road into 2050 and 2060 do you start seeing players who were sons or grandsons of former players? Is that in the notes anywhere? If not, I feel that would be an interesting addition to the game.

I don't there are "sons" as such, but the names list is finite so you could certainly find some family trees in there.

I play out games, unless my season is beyond all hope, so I don't make tons of progress before switching to a new setup. Usually like 5 years or so, and often I start from a way-back year so it's like a fictional historical replay if that makes any sense.

I play historical players. I start mid or late 60s, sometimes early 70s, and quit about 1990, occasionally as late as 2000. My current game is a first time thing for me as I started in 1951. Will probably go to 2000ish at latest.

As the signature says, 61 seasons, with no intention to ever starting a new one.
