The Official FM 09 Regen Thread!

Post your regens here and we will see how much they have improved from 08.

Check out this BEAST that I discovered. Too bad Barcelona got to him first...they picked him up on a free..sigh.

Alexey Glukhov

He's a first season regen but I'd say he looks quite good for a 15-year-old in a mid-table Russian club

I hope regen are better than last year.

The first pic make me hope

I hate regen faces, they're so ugly/freakily scary! They all have hobbit noses! That Kilic looks quality, I'm not out of my first season yet, looking forward to the regens!

I have a Brazilian Diego Maradona or at least i will when he turns 18. My coach only thins he average tbh I bought him on name.

I have yet to see a regen with a high determination stat. Amazing really.

The one in first screenie is with 13. You could easily train him to 17-18 maybe even 20. Mental stats raise latter in playing career so if regens have over 10 in determination it is excellent.

Got this guy thanks to my scout!

I still have the demo

thanxxxxx

Don't look like it but hes quality gets onto every cross.

hey hey here's a 2nd season regen only been a pro for a few months my assistant manager with 19 ja 17 jp says he is going to be better than joao mouthinho:)

My favourite regen so far looks like he will be a superstar.

One thing I noticed, most of the good regens seems to be very single footedness.

I found another one, a Costa Rican MC, that I will post tomorrow.

This is the best regen i have had come through whilst i was in league 1, he has the potential to become a good championship player according to my coach. He is already a regualr and one of my best players in league 1.

scout found this dude for me

I think there may be a problem with the regens this year, in that they are very good, you'll even see BSN/BSS teams getting very good regens in their youth teams.

Not that I'm complaining of course.

Right foot only, right foot only and left foot only...where are all the regens who can use both feet ?

Another problem i noticed is that Wingers/AM's/CM's/FB's off the ball i always very low.

Also, dribbling for fullbacks. Short strikers with high heading. CM/AM/Wingers with high attribute for tackling. DM/FB and sometime CD's with low marking. Technical players with low Flair, or even the other way around. Aggression and Bravery are always low, or sometimes one is quite high and the other quite low. Determination is also a problem, as it's rare to see players with determination above 17 for example. Unbalanced attributes. And more.

Also, it disgust me how every regen have similar attributes.

Me too and i have 10-15 others teenager like Maradona

So also regen the foot bug!! Now i know why there are too strong..

PATCH PLEASE...

I've simulated a game on Large database (9.0.1 official update) to february 2015, leagues are Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Scotland, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine and United Stations (all divisions loaded).

Here are some of the highest valued regens I've found as well as the highest valued u21/u23 youngsters of England, Brazil, Argentina and Italy + some random regens.

The lack of two-footedness in regens is very noticeable.

It could be worthwile to simulate further to see if two-footedness develops after age 22 but I doubt it.

As I can only upload 4 images at a time I've made a photobucket album with all 40 screenshots I toke as I can't be arsed to make 10 posts in a row : Regens album - feb 2015

Highest valued regen of the lot:

Regens seem to be great this year. I've holidayed until 2029 and they look fantastic.

How many of those fantastic regens are one foot only ?

note high determination

signed on a free, had a rocky first half of the season but got better as the season went on also

plenty of decent regens so far. too many? i dunno.

another nice regen not much pace but assistan says he will be alot better than shaun wright-phillips so pace probs go up 4 or 5 stats so woop woop

How many of those fantastic regens are one foot only ?

No idea but I will look later on tonight.

i actually seen a full back with either foot who was a regen:O

every other one is right or left only

My new MC signing. Expensive, but worth it.

How many of those fantastic regens are one foot only ?

I have seen regens with better two footedness, but stats wise not that great. For now I think all the great regens are one foot only. Hopefully SI will look into it for patch 9.02.

Hi,

I may sound a bit noob here but how do we search for regens? Or how do we know they are regens?

cant do an exact search for regens but just make your search filter : age is at most 19 or 18 or whatever. Look at the pictures to find out if they're a regen, they're comp generated

Also, is anyone else finding themselves having major spending sprees each season on regens, i just searched for about 2 minutes (italy and australia youngsters) and i've ended up buying 9 regens

I took a quick glance at my game in 2030 and it seems that the majority are 'Right only' but there is a few with 'right'. Haven't seen a left footer but then again, I only looked at the best regens and didn't look at alot.

16 y old

scouted 3 times by 20/20 scout and rated as 7 star prospect

i need to sign him and do something about hes detarmination with tutoring mental aspects and he will ROCK

In fairness guys there aren't that many players in the whole DB that are 'both' footed, in my current db out of around 26500 players, less than 500 are listed as being two footed.

I've had a few Newgens come through who are not 'Only' players - here are a couple below:

The regens in the picture looks great.

I understand that. However in the original database, at least we have world class players who are not "one footed only", their weaker foot is usually average and above.

For the regens, I notice most of the top players are hopelessly one footed only, which I think we should see more relatively top players with weaker foot on average and above.

Best CB on the game. I cried when I found him. Straight in my team at 19. I had a sneak at his PA after I got him and it was 198. Great success.

The one in first screenie is with 13. You could easily train him to 17-18 maybe even 20. Mental stats raise latter in playing career so if regens have over 10 in determination it is excellent.

You can't train determination. You can get somebody with high determination to tutor him though.

Is there some way of increasing the probability that good regens spawn at the club you are managing or is this completely random?

I bet that James Hunt has a heavy right foot.

The thing that will probably help the most is improving the state of the club's youth facilities. Still the quality of regens coming through remains a bit of a matter of luck.

Don't really know if this is true in everyones game, but, like in previous versions, quality regens do seem to appear at the bigger clubs. With the exception of a few talented players coming through the ranks at lower clubs.

Also scout ratings of regens also seem to be influenced by the reputation of the club where they are at (just like in real life IMO). So regens from Man Utd and Barcelona get pretty high ratings from scouts, while lower league players with bigger potential might be overlooked.

I don't know of the CA (current ability) of regens at bigger clubs is also higher on average than that of lower league clubs.

I should add to this, that some odd brilliant regens from "lesser nations" and regions like Africa and the Carribean also always seem to appear every once and a while. They seem to be a bit older when they appear on average though.

Meet Gary Davies, a regen with the potential to be 'one of the best players of his generation.'
