Thank you @zoaghouweel for bringing this up, I have the exact same issue in FM23. I was going to buy FM24 now as I assumed this would have been fixed, but I'll just wait for now then. I'm managing Bayer 04 Leverkusen in FM23, and it makes no sense that a top European club with state of the art youth facilities would train some of the world's best wonderkids in a part-time II team. I actually assumed that this problem would be solved after a couple of seasons, when the II team gets promoted to 3. Liga, but I'm now quite convinced that there is a bug that prevents that promotion as well. My II team should have been promoted by now in my opinion, judging by the standard of players alone. Also, looking at the players' stats, in more or less every II team match the outfield players score more goals than the goalkeepers concede (even if the actual results for the matches in the Regional Div. West league where the II team plays can't be seen). So, I've now spent hundreds of hours trying to build something that then turns out to be impossible to achieve because of these bugs. @Michael Sant (or anyone else at SI), I'm happy to provide more information, or a FM23 save, if it helps. Otherwise I'll just follow this thread and buy FM24 when the "Public Status" is changed to "Resolved". Thank you!
