What does economic factor do?

[andyt365]

Does anyone know the effect of economic factor on a nation?

Also developed or very developed

And finally game importance?

What effect on a nation do these stats have?

I think it's largely to do with newgen development.

Game importance definitely is. That's been tested. Can't remember who did it, but they posted the results on the forums here and game importance seems to be the biggest factor when it comes to newgen quality, more important than youth rating. That's part of why dynamic youth rating ended up being controversial, youth rating simply isn't as important as people though it was with game importance making a much larger difference.

I'd assume the others affect newgens too. I've not seen any actual evidence, just a guess. It makes sense a country with more development and money to spend on coaching/infrastructure and grassroots football would produce better newgens though. Maybe ticket prices/sponsorships etc. as well? But that's just pure speculation.
