thefmveteran86 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 So I've holidayed it to 2031 and two clubs I've been to want younger players so the block most players over 23 but some slip through the cracks, thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The boards of these clubs may well have a vision to only buy young players, but success will also be important and this may cause them to look at other, older players to help them be successful.

DMVian Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 With the slow, slow advancement of youth, I'm leaning toward just ignoring age on signings. Go get the better player if they're measurably cheaper. Win enough games, then the board shouldn't care. Drop $7 million on a 22 year old WB or 30% for a similar player at 27. Under a hundred hours in, but for now it looks like paying for potential is a fools errand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crpcarrot Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 agree the game shows they have developed but looking at their stats hardly anything has changed. seems current ability is king potential never arrives or just drops every year.

When people do youth only saves, I wonder if they're somehow developing players rather quickly or they're finding youths under rocks in low rated league and then selling them for a bigger price in short order once reputation catches up. I'm having some luck signing players in weaker leagues around 24 or 25 who are underpriced for their ability, signing them, and then if they perform having their reputation earn bigger offers. Use windfall to sign a couple quality game changers. To FM's credit, more realistic approach than a Scottish club suddenly become a football factory. I know it isn't easy to find right balance. But I hope they push the balance a bit more toward youth developing in FM23. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy1983 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I think the development is much more random this version. I can have a 5 star potential 'Perfectionist' mentality youngster who goes no where in two years, or one very similar that develops rapidly. Some players always develop every save others never do. You do all the right things upgrading coaches, facilities, mentoring and they can still stagnate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Youth Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 How do you know if a player has developed? Do you track their skill levels? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
