mogstalad Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Has anybody ever seen any good Indian regens? I dont usually tick their league, but occasionally i just find pretty good regens from random Asian countries which leagues you cannot tick, yet India seems an exception? I'm hoping to pick a feeder club from the country once I get into the Premiership with my AFC Wimbledon team as it might be deemed acceptable by the board if i choose an Indian team e.g. East Bengal; at the moment, when i chose a Polish team for WP they still wouldn't accept Screenshots if possible if anybody has found any Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I very much doubt there will be many, if any, good Indian regens. I can't think of any players who are Indian playing at a good level of football.

wearesporting Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 When football is not the biggest sport in a country then obviously a lot fewer kids would play it therefore taking out the advantage of having a large population. Look at China sure. 1.3 Billion people and counting and still very few players coming out of it. The facilities and coaching staff may not be there too that would create these players.

RandR Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 irl ... indonesia have a lot of talented players. they have some very decent ball players. and anyone who has seen the Indonesian national team play at there home stadium in java .. the intensity is immense... 90,000 screaming fanatical indonesians. youtube videos of the 2007 asian cup and look for indonesian home games ... down here in australia we only really see them when the A-league clubs come up against them in the Asian Champions League.. which hasnt happened the last season or 2 .. but i remember an indonesion left back called Erol Iba, who played for Persik Kediri .. and he was quality. should have been signed by an a-league club.

CrashOverride Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 As was I when I spent quite alot on a very similar player the same summer as he moved from Napoli and now have to decide which of them plays and which sits on the bench! To be fair its not just him in my team who cant score, we have a "Legandary" striker and everyone seems to think he will score loads so im not bothering! The consequence this season is that while I am top of the leauge the team in 2nd have scored 20 goals more than me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro007 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 This is my only Indian regen, he is currently on loan getting his permit sorted.

arsenal_2111 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I would ignore your coaches, he looks pretty bad tbh. I'd say he would be a CCC player at most, which, going by current players, is about right for a top Indian player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

small Mac Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I wonder if this is down the 'game importance' figure in the editor. I haven't checked it but i guess it is pretty low due to cricket and therefore that's restricting the game creating good Indan regens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

anagain Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I have tried to manage the Indian national team in the past and it is hard work getting quality players to come through. By far the best in the current world are Bhutia and a guy name Venkatesh (I think). There are a few good players who are dual nationality (often Nigerian or Ghanaian for some reason) that are quite good. There is an Indian who I believe plays in the Italian leagues who is rather good, and a young defender playing in the upper echelons of the English non-league. Never yet seen an amazing Indian regen in my games. It may just be that I'm not looking though. Don't actually have all players loaded form India in my current game so likely won't see any regens this time out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
