Description of issue
People told me to submit this, not sure if it will actually be helpful in any way, but there it is.
Basically, I ran 10 years simulation and compared average ages of club and national team squads between some arbitrarily chosen teams (clubs and national teams) between that (filename is "Game 1 - Leeds (Simulation End) and just 1 season long simulation (filename is Andrey Ignatyev - Unemployed) and also I went through a couple hundred clubs and national teams to do a glance comparison and most of them appear to be of comparable average age squads, but noticeably older first teams.
I used U25 as a threshold because in 2034 it's the age of the first regen wave and U25 in 2034 is mostly 25 years olds, while U25 in 2024 is varied between 18 and 25 so it's actually not apples to apples comparison per se. If I used 24 years old as a threshold, numbers would be dramatically "worse" for the game, not even close. This is by far the most concerning part.
I also noticed that national teams call up players that would not be considered playing consistently enough to warrant a call in older versions even in teams like Brazil, where competition is crazy.
Finally, and this is my speculation, but it appears that AI is unable to develop extremely high PA players to realise their PA by 25. I couldn't spot a single 190+ CA player anywhere, but it's a fact that every year there are a few 190 spawn so it's virtually impossible for them to just not to exist. So either I am completely terrible at reading CA from attributes, they actually don't regen at the same rate as before, clubs can't effectively scout them or may be it's just that they give them playing time way too late to realise their full potential. No more Hollands or Bellinghams in the regen era.
