If you are lending a player and want his wages covered you ask for 100%

I’ve seen the same once with Kap Verde, but I’ve also managed nations with only fringe players generated for seasons on end which made the whole experience quite boring. I think the most recent example was Romania.

I’ve only found it improves through mentoring unprofessional players with professional ones or getting lucky when disciplining them for poor attitude in training and similar. I think it would be great if it could improve even without those actions if there is a high professionalism in the squad in general and perhaps affected by staff. Maybe it does, but I haven’t noticed in such case.

Is it possible to adjust parameters affecting the number of regens from specific countries and the general potential? That’d be very appealing, especially when taking over as national coach for a country where there’s very poor influx of new talent.

Thanks Marc for the elaborate responses! I understand some of the background mechanisms much better now. When it comes to the cases where you seek examples I’ll report it next time I see something representative. I do agree with above posters that loading more famous players and wonderkids would really enhance the experience, and it wouldn’t be so hard to hide that from casual users by mechanisms we find in other games in the series - such as indicating performance impact of a large selection or if that’s infeasible at least expand the number of players loaded from non-selected leagues a bit further without additional options presented. Good to hear there are mechanisms for potentials to shift mid-game, I would enjoy it being a more frequent event though as I’ve never encountered a Luca Toni or James Vardy while playing. I still think the ratings in midfield and *-impact from youths trying out senior football still needs tweaking. Even global superstars struggle to get 7 average rating as CM’s currently, while a player like Endrick would still be considered a wonderkid even if he were to start his Real Madrid career with some brief substitutions of little impact. Using fake players really only does change the names for me. Trying it out with Real Madrid in career mode now for example I find a 35 year old AP from Croatia and one 31 year old AP from Germany along with a Belgian star keeper, a versatile Austrian defender etc. If there are small alterations of attributes or positions I might have missed that, but it doesn’t really give another game experience if it just shows what the game would look like with no real name licenses for players. I’d love to play an “alternate reality” career, but with the relative strength of the teams mostly preserved.

Does the aptitude of coaches matter when they’ve reached the gold badge? Do scouts matter at all for your own regens?

I’ve reported dozens of issues I consider bugs but he below are some points that i’ve thought of for many versions of the game. If they’d be addressed I would enjoy the game even more stay with it longer after initial release. The development hub has been a great boost in this regard so I hope similar steps are made ahead The match ratings for CMs are generally too low compared to other positions Potential ratings are too easily affected by low average rating. This is an issue often when trying to integrate young players into the team through shorter appearances since subs struggle to get more than 6’s consistently. It is a weird way to judge a youngsters potential when they start seeing senior football. Assistant will always push for players to go on loan rather than to play for the reserve team. There should be a balance where the reserve team is sometimes a better choice. Player reputation and value shows poor growth in reserves and lower divisions while foreign leagues of low quality boosts it much more. There are too few late bloomers in the game since potential is set from the beginning and rarely misjudged by skilled scouts. AI ran clubs makes so many ill-judged transfers for positions where there is little need and often don’t try to integrate new players they spent huge sums for. When choosing not to use real players the entire players should be randomized, not just the names. Option to choose a larger database to get more prominent players from leagues not selected (should be feasible for newer devices).

If loaning out players is made easier that would definitely help. But the junior affiliate part is really frustrating when the board approves and consistently fails to find any, even after having went from fourth to second division in a country like Denmark or from VNN to League Two in England. I’m not sure about the realism part in other countries but at least in Sweden there are a lot of such collaborations even below top division, perhaps not very formalized though. If a feature was added where the junior affiliate could reject loan offers perhaps it would be more realistic, then there would be absolutely no downsides for them.

I love the new development hub, such a great idea and implementation! My biggest demotivator in this game from previous version however remains - whenever I play with a lower league team it takes several promotions before a junior affiliate can be found and more often than not it’s impossible to get loan offers for really talented youngsters. It really makes player development more frustrating than it ought to be. Enable non-league affiliates and tweak the AI loan offer algorithms please!

Hi Koth, i just uploaded file E7EB274C-D607-4B47-8908-CDC7C9C581AE for this ingame

Hi Joth, you can use save game CCFDDEE2-5967-436F-8B5A-730A8918380C which I just submitted for an issue reported in-game. See eg Stergiou in my B team

Also the attribute progress icons do not show for the B team players until promoted in the same setup
