Description of issue
I'm running a holiday save with a large database and about 35 leagues loaded, I'm in January of 2025 and looking through the national youth teams and the youth intake tab, countries like Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria and the Ivory Coast haven't generated a single player. In the same period of time I've seen newgen crops for North Korea, the Solomon Islands, Bermuda and some of the very obscure African countries. I think I've seen this explained as working as intended for FM22 and maybe FM21, but if it's a design choice I think it's a very poor one.
Is the game looking at all the dual-national players from England and wherever else and basically saying, well we have our quota of Nigerians? Because to me, a player who comes up through an English club's facilities and plays for its youth teams should just be counted as English for this kind of purpose. And it's only natural that there are more English-Nigerians coming into clubs as 15 year olds than there are retiring as 35 year olds. Is it an artificial difficulty thing, that there were past FMs where it was too easy for a human player to scoop up everyone from ASEC and those kinds of clubs?
