catennacio Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm talking about the youth intake you usually get in Mar each year. I'm PSG and have good youth facilities, well-established youth recruitment, excellent youth coaching but no matter how many times I try to reload the game only gives me players with maximum 2 stars for potential. Why is that? Anyone has players with more than 2 stars? Or 4-5 stars? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri916 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 There's a bug at the moment where the players come through with a low star rating for potential. Sign them up so they are no longer in your youth candidates and then check their ratings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign them up so they are no longer in your youth candidates and then check their ratings. Thanks for you reply, I think so too. There must be a bug as I had one player who got 2 star but after I signed him he was bumped up to 4.5 stars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rynny Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yes, it says 2 stars until you sign them up. You'll have to make your own mind up as to whether they are any good or not! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Target Practice Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Interestingly, I got one very good player in my first youth intake (4 stars, 'the next Leighton Baines'), and then have had nothing in the six years since - they don't even look any good stats-wise, let alone in potential. Like the OP, I have 'top' youth and training facilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
easternhawk2 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Sign the players to youth contracts to get their real potential rating. There's a bug that means the potential isn't shown properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the OP, I have 'top' youth and training facilities.I don't see a probelm with that, I can't think of many Premier League IRL clubs that routinely promote 1 youth team player each year, who is genuinely of first team (3.5 - 4 star) quality. 1 every 2-3 years maybe.Of course the rating visibility thing is a bug, but I think beyond that that the production rates, even for 'top' youth facilities are right. In my opinion, if you have a 'top' youth facility, then this should bring up the bottom level of your youth players, as in basically everyone coming through at Man Utd should be good enough for lower end of championship/ top of League 1, but it shouldn't have too big effect on the best players, you should still only get a top quality one every 2-3 years. The rest should just be squad players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

postal postie Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 i've got a 16 year old CD for Liverpool, rated 4 and a half stars and a deep lying forward who is rated 3 stars. i'm just started the 2nd season. whether they're that good, or not, remains to be seen.

Sign them up so they are no longer in your youth candidates and then check their ratings. i got my youth manager to offer contract to the ones he felt the need to. they were two cracking players. the others, he didn't give a contract but i thought i knew better so chose another 2. they stayed as 1 and a half stars. i think its a case of listening to the Youth manager more.

GazTheDoood Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I feel bad for the people who don't browse these forums, and therefore don't know about the bug. They just constantly think they're getting rubbish players and could be missing out on really good ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-Side Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 In my Rangers save only in the first season i've got a player worthwile which became my best striker ever since he was 16. Big target man with good stats 4 stars. In my second year only busts, funny enough my facilities were upgraded. My Youth Director signed a young welsh prospect by himself which developed quite nice. But ever since then, only random useless players with good stats in the wrong places. In time after the first season, and the upgrades i've changed the youth system coaches with better ones. And nothing...poor players all around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, not suggesting it's anything other than a bit of bad luck on my part, just observing that just because your whole youth intake is rated at 1.5 stars doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bug - they might just be crap.

LilSaint Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Didn't know that.So you really have to sign all candidates then? just look at their stats & decide whether they have potential or not. Alternatively, you could sign them all & check their star ratings again yeh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Didn't know that.So you really have to sign all candidates then? Give them +5 to everything in your head, and if they are still unimpressive in key areas + have poor non-weighted attributes and/or poor Determination/personality, why bother? Sign those who would at least become decent top division players given an attribute increase of +5 over the board, if you experience this bug. I haven't as you can see above, although the last season's intake was poor so I might take a look at all of them come March. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
