hyndlegs Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Thats great thanks, someone told me that it was the coaches nationalities but those listed above seem far more sensible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmatthewbrowne Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 The Nationality of the club and the league your playing in have nothing to do with the nationality of the regens. For Example Cardiff City are listed as an English club because they play in the English Championship, but ALL their regens are Welsh because their stadium (Ninnian Park) is in Cardiff (Wales) Facilities don't make any difference either, you could have the best or the worst facilities and the nationality of your regens will be the same. 99% of your regens will have their Nationality the same as your Stadium's location, but you do get the odd one who is a foreigner, and this might have something to do with Feeder clubs/Scouting. I say "might" as one time I got a Russian regen in my youth setup despite having no Russian feeder clubs and no russian scouting knowledge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff nationalities affects your knowledge, perhaps that's what they meant. I.e. if you have 3 coaches and one is from Portugal and the other two are from Spain, but you're from England, you will add some Portuguese and Spanish knowledge to your manager profile.

rsk360 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 i think its got something to do with the fact that englands a island..so maybe thats why the majority are the local nationalities.. clubs in germany would get a few polish regens because the two countries are neighbours...and vice-versa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Scandanavian clubs get regens from each others countries, due to the "hardcoding". Espicially Finnish clubs, Swedish regens are always popping up in my HJK youth team, but this was still due soley to the fact of their stadium location, as one time I went on the editor and changed HJK's stadium to Wembely and all their regens were English Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Staff favourred personel counts, I think. I get Icelandic regens because one of my coaches has an Icelandic friend- I have no knowledge of the country and am managing in England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I got alot more variance in FM07, i prefered it, I was at a Scottish club and got English/Scottish and some random ones to do with my coaches i assumed, being Spanish, French and German. In FM08 at the same club and in 2016 I still only get Scottish, I got one from a different nationality that I cant remember now, but its somewhere random.

nerner Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 you need to play through about 50 seasons before truly random ones pop up. i once had a English/Nigerian/Australian/Israeli. It was in 2192 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbokav1971 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 jsollo. I've never had a single African player promoted through the youth system. I've just noticed that you seem to have made a comment on most of the top 50 threads in GQ. Just so you know, nobody really cares about post count, so really you aren't doing yourself any favours by getting your post count up. Maybe just reading a lot and commenting on certain threads where you have a particular opinion on the subject might be more appropriate than commenting 1 line on every single thread in the forum.

Xennaz Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I've almost never had African regens either, actually. But then Africa is the only place I don't scout at all, so it's understandable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in all honesty Africans will become the next South Americans in world football. They are usually naturally talented athletes and because a lot of Africans live in poverty and most African nations are 3rd world countries young africans don't have the luxuries of other nations. So whilst the rest of the world youths are playing as their favourite teams and players on computer games African kids are actually practicing their skills. A lot of superstar south americans came from hard backgrounds where the best thing they had was football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indoctrin Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I believe it also depends on where you play a preseason tour. On one game I had very little knowledge of Asia and had a small tour of Singapore just before the end of season update and I got a Singaporean through the youth ranks. Also on my current game Ive noticed random nationalities as I have a Chillean/San Marinese player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmatthewbrowne Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Probably something like that, maybe with 5% dependant on Scouting knowledge/feeder clubs.

roversawh7 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Based on my 200 year holiday game in England, about 75-80% of total regens were only of English nationality. Obviously the Welsh clubs had default Welsh regens because of their stadium locations. Most of the rest were British, with a few with African, Scandinavian, or other second nationalities. A small number of regens (less than 1%) were based on staff nationalities/scouting knowledge, even though as the game went on, more staffs had foreigners. Other EU nationalities were most common out of that bunch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't appear from the db. 2/ We aren't asking why it would happen IRL - we are asking what controls the nationality in the game - FM does not include youth camps from around the world. In answer to the OP my experience has shown me the following; The primary control on youth nationality is the country within which your club is based. As mentioned earlier i don't believe the location of your stadium is a primary control. There are some countries where the nationality of youth may vary - e.g. in UK you will get english, welsh and scottish youth, in germany you will get german, turk and polish youth etc etc - for a definitive list of these you'll have to ask someone else. The secondary control on youth nationality is scouting knowledge. This can be derived from scouts, non-scouting staff, feeder clubs and the managers natoinality. This will mean, if i am an english club, with an argentine feeder and a brazilian ass-man - the chances of me getting a south american (any nationality) youth player are higher. However it is still predominantly random. Knowledge only increases the chance of a particular nationality appearing - it is still possible that a completely random nationality will appear - there are many examples of this in real life - where a player is merely residing in the country (for whatever reason) and plays for the local team (bangoura and calvin zola spring to mind). Facilities have no control over the nationality of youth - they will generally produce higher PA youth players and help those players achieve their CAs more quickly.

I, as paul, was talking about stadium location, i'm quite aware the club offices are in england, otherwise chester city would be a welsh club. The only relevant area for debate is whether the stadium is located in england or wales in the db. If it is in england, then paul may be correct that stadium location is the primary control on youth nationality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
