In 2030....

....I am in 2030 at the moment and I've just taken over Wolves. And all theese people saying the quality regens are crap. About 4 of my players are Champions League stanard and the other 10 are not far of it. The physical attributes I have found are the best. So wtf is the problem with regens.

PS: Carlos Vela was the best player in the world 6 years running (2017,18,19,2020,21,22)

I find physicial stats are the worst on regens. even the really good ones.

I find that I have to agree with wardog, a lot of my regens in the past have had their weaknesses in the physical department. Technical stats however are brilliant most of the time.

Look down the lower leagues...they are way better than the players who were in the lower leagues in 08.

I agree with the OP, i've never had a problem with regens at all.

An awfully large number of the regens I've see have rubbish penalty taking stats.

u dont have to go long in the game to realize the regens are rubbish.

I agree with Golaxi too. Im just 6 seasons in and true i have had a wonderkid and ive got a good player comming through. Other than that im surviving of real players still

Regens are rubbish.

The only problem with that Neji is that it's all done by the AI so sure players brought through by AI teams may have a problem with physical stats it's not true so much if people develop their own talent.

AI development affects the user in a lot of ways. You can't expect your own talents to be all good enough and you need to be able to find good alternatives in the transfermarket in the future as well. Regens should be a high priority and I read they are fixed in FM 09 so that is a good thing.

How many players can you develop to a top standard with good set pieces and physical stats though?

Also, I've just played a Sheffield Wednesday game up until 2030 ish and basically won every cup for the last five years of the game with ease. Why? Because I buy all the best players (there are so few of them that I can) and the other teams struggle to compete.

The regens are diabolical in FM08, as far as I'm concerned there is no arguement against that

I've just taken over Wolves.

I suggest you give up now

Not sure if we are talking about the same game.......

Could you post some screenshot to show how good your regen players' physical stats are?

erm, is ts suggesting Carlos Vela is a regen?

To be fair i'm only in NI so the standard required is obviously much lower than some leagues, guess i'll find out once i move clubs.

No I am not, that was off topic. I will post some screence up on Friday when I get my laptop with FM08 on back.

I have seen some godly regens but the majority have strange attribute combinations. Finding regens with good fin, accel, pace, and composure is quite hard. And there are still far too many defenders with good finishing, poor tackling, or forwards with good tackling etc.

Not saying you're lying, but most threads with screenshots of great regens are edited players

Erm why are you telling us this? lol

also a lot of them have their highest stats in daft/irrelevant areas... dc's with great corner attributes, sc's wth high long throw ability... doesnt make any sense. have to agree that their physical attributes are often the poorest though.. and i cant find a good penalty taker for love nor money...

...and a great regen or two doesn't prove that regens, as a whole, are great.

The fact that SI have specifically stated that regens are to be improved for FM09 should be enough to show that they aren't as good as they shoud be.

I've noticed that regen goalkeepers tend to be satisfactory. Unlike the outfield ones.

GK regen are no better than outfielder if you look carefully, they have relatively very low agility in average, compare to the starting GKs IRL.

They aren't great and let's hope they are in fm 2009 as it is a big factor of the game that should be right. It's great to develop good youth.

Ok so in essence your cheating the comp cause it will be at a disadvantage. I mean if you do tend to get good players what is the use and fun if the other teams have terrible players that can't jump high or out muscle your guys. It seems pretty pointless.
