joaquin87 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I was reading about this topic and but couldn't find one single answer that says "yes, work it". Is the city population it's useful in the game? IRL, in a large city a team would have a better chance of finding better talent than in a smaller city. It is not hard to notice: the number of players is much higher. In addition, clubs in large cities can get higher attendance rates (or could have a bigger fan base) than small city clubs. (Of course, i know, these aren't the only considerations for have many talent youngs or a bigger fan base IRL) Butttt, in FM... this work it? I'm making a large edition, with more than 900 new cities, and I am interested to know if the population of the cities will be an important factor, or at least if it will matter a little or nothing to complete the information of 900 cities (it will take me, without doubts, many hours of work).

phnompenhandy Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Might be better asking in the Editors Hideaway forum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted November 5, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 5, 2018 Definitely affects potential attendance increases. The larger and more wealthy an area the more chance you'll get fans turning out for games. Not 100% sure in regards to youth but wouldn't surprise me if it worked like that. You'd probably be better off asking in the Research forum or Editors Hideaway or reach out to your HR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty It's not really that simple. A large city will also likely have more than one team in it, which dilutes the talent pool. Not in all cases, but it's a lot more nuanced.

Yeah, Newcastle and Leeds will draw more talent than Brentford and Charlton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's how it should be. If you're in London, you'll stand a better chance against sides within London if you're bigger, but you'll also stand far less chance than a similarly big side that has less competition.

wicksyFM Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I tend to use the editor to find clubs in cities with a good population, decent attraction and no main rivals in the city. Teams like Dresden, Strasbourg, Munster, Bath City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
