Diegotimmy Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I posted a bug here: And was informed a HOYD prefered formation plays no significance in the regens you get each year. So what exactly does affect your regens and what doesn't? I know personality of the HOYD matters but what about things like media handling style? How do his personal attributes make a difference such as JPA and JCA to the outcome of a player? Despite this being in the games for years now I am still not sure what to make of this, especially when I hear something like this which I thought made a difference, didn't at all!

Carlos92 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I usually just hire Phil Cannon and let him do his stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemeuresnew Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 those 2 threads contradict each other. first says a hoyd DOES NOT effect a players position the second states that he can, as well as the type of player. i dont think it is wrong for him to ask for clarification, considering no one seems to agree. its almost as if no one really knows how this game works, and it has just had new bits added with no consideration of what was already there...

herne79 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Seb is on holiday atm so I'll drop Stu a PM in the meantime. There does appear to be some contradiction here. I carried out work last year with Seb regarding Training and his thoughts there and above are consistent in that the HoYD's favoured formation can indeed influence newgen positions. If Stu can clarify his comments then great, otherwise it'll have to wait until Seb returns in a week or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigd84 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Well I'm in the camp of HOYD favourite formations DO affect player positions and roles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diegotimmy Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 This is what is confusing. To be honest there is a whole bunch of info regarding staff roles and attributes that makes little sense in the game, this is only one part of it (albeit probably the most important).

Diegotimmy Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 @Stu Coleman confirmed here that prefered formation does not play a part. It makes sense then as I went out the way to get a HOYD with my formation and it didn't help at all. Thanks Stu! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc_blade Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 So, just to bring together the revelations from these various threads, is it the case that the only HOYD characteristic with any relevance for the nature of your youth intake is personality? And that this itself only affects up to 5 of the newgens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diegotimmy Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Indeed, would like to know exactly how it works. Personality of course being part of various hidden attributes+determination. Also, what about media handling style? Seems like my HOYD just dishes out players with similar but not always the same personality and generic positions in a 4-5-1 formation including an AM/DM. I don't play with wingers but every year receive about 7 youngsters who are wingers who I then can't really use as a striker or wingback...as they lack finishing or defensive attributes.
