Great solution - this would completely fix it for me.

Ah, that makes sense. Well, it doesn't... but you know what I mean 😂 Thanks so much for your help mate - much appreciated

Hey folks, I was wondering whether you might be able to help me out with a little scouting problem. I'm not sure whether I've misunderstood how scouting works in FM24, but I'm struggling to understand why this recruitment focus would be delivering so few results. I've assigned a scout with a very good knowledge of the region, and the minimum CA/PAs don't seem particularly high to me. I'm only in my second season, so I know for a fact there will be plenty of players in the game, in the UK, with a better than 2.5 PA Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a particular reason why this focus might have only brought up one recommendation (from Sunderland - no offence Sunderland fans), when the academies of the top Premier League sides must be chucking out some pretty highly-rated prospects? Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers, Tom

Ahh that is very useful to know - thank you! I imagined giving them first team minutes would develop them faster, but maybe not? That's great advice though - thank you. If there was a bug with technicals in development is that going to have been ironed out in my save by the full game being released, or do I need to start again? 🤣

I started a save with Brighton, and am following their 'buy cheap, sell for loads' kind of approach. Lots of my players are young prospects who I then sell on for a lot more than I bought them for - and in general it tends to work pretty well. A few (in game) years ago, I had a left back come through my academy who looked like he could be an absolute worldbeater. He had a 2* CA and 5* PA, and I started giving him first team minutes straight away. A few years later, he hasn't really come along all that much - certainly not relative to some of my other players, who are now off winning Kopa trophies and young player of the year awards and that sort of thing. He's still got a 2* CA, and when I look at his progress there doesn't seem to have been that much improvement over the course of the last four seasons - which is obviously a bit disappointing. The most obvious problem, to my mind, is his personality - and I'm not 100% sure whether there's anything that I can do about that, but my question generally is that besides putting him on the right training regime, and giving him plenty of first-team minutes, what else should I be doing with this guy to try and get him up to somewhere close to his potential? Or - does his personality mean that he's a bit of a waste of time and I should bin him off and give someone else a shot?

Hey Zachary, does it have to be from exactly before the match, or just generally? Edit: Unfortunately the autosave has gone on too far, so unfortunately I don't have a save from before the game. I've just checked the matches/automatic directory and I don't seem to have any PKM files in there. Is there a step I've missed? I'm on MacOS, for what it's worth

@Zachary Whyte I've also noticed quite a few typos/outdated answers. Shall I raise all of these as separate issues, or would it be easier if we start a typos/incongruous answers thread?
