I am well into career mode and wondering if the replacements names are generated randomly here is a list of players i have purchased and who they replaced

lionel-joseph Reinette----->Zidane
Wayne Carr------------------>Roy Keane
Kew Bakens------------------>Dennis Bergkamp
? Savage---------------------->Ryan Giggs
Recorbet----------------------->robert Pires
Mikael Pichot------------------>Patrick Viera
David Abardonado---------->Claude Makelele

List goes on....

Does anyone recognise any of the names??

the game use names of the same nationality of players present in the game in the created players

its some kinda random thing

i didn't know about the nationality thing, but I assumed it.

Roy Keane- Paddy Quinn

oddly enough, in one of my friend's careers, Ruud van Nistelrooy became Devin van Nistelrooy.

cheers fellas, this is what i thought, don't known a bout the nationality thing though, when freddie ljunberg retired he got a spanish name "Almunia" and Kew Bakens doesn't sound like a dutch name ohh yeah and Alan Shearers replacement Weckstrom doesn't sound like a pommy name to me either... you keep up the good work though guys...
