jcp1417 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 It seems obvious, but what affects the quality of USA youths? Is it the youth facilities at the MLS clubs or the academies themselves? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Imagine it'll be the same as every other nation in an FM sense, albeit with the added wrinkle of the draft bringing in players. The controllable factors are still going to be the standard of facilities at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorcesterLegend Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 im guessing those are the same as any other team, the only variable is the draft guys, which i don' really know where is he based off...maybe that uses top facilities? i don't play at MLS that much to notice but most draft players tend to be better than intakes so maybe they get a facilities boost compared to the best team facilities? because top facilities in MLS can generate world beaters i guess since USA youth rating is rather high Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The draft always used to be the way to get these highly rated youths, but clubs are starting to bring in better players, perhaps foreign, into the clubs through different avenues, rendering the draft less important than it used to be. Could be completely anecdotal though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcp1417 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 I never see American new gen world beaters though. Even when I edit the USA youth rating to 200. Which points to the team’s facilities not being able to produce that talent. I just don’t know if it’s the academies ratings or the major team’s ratings that matter.

alanschu14 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Based on a talk I had last year in a different thread (I think it was the minnows thread), country reputation also plays a big part in driving regens. So all the youth upgrades (recruitment, junior coaching, youth facilities) and country reputation. Might be some league reputation as well? Youth rating is probably a type of X-Factor but only a small piece of the whole puzzle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often (in all saves) get youth american that walk into my rotation setup at clubs like Benfica, and within 1-2 years at Man City. This is on fM17 .tho.

And do they come from an American academy first or are they generated directly into the Man City youth intake? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always worth picking up simply because the profit is infinte haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
