AI teams unable to loan youngsters

Rico Lewis basically not getting any playing time, while not being loaned/sold. Just left to rot in City U21 team

Hello, thank you for raising. You should see improvements in this area in our next game update. 

@Zachary Whyte I cannot see specific references to this bug in the update changelog. Has this been addressed?

Hi, we had 'Improve AI team selection logic' in the change list. 

I do not know what do you mean by improved AI team selection logic, after the update the situation is still terrible, way worse then in was after the last update of FM23 that kinda improved the situation.

I lost all hope and I am tired of posting on this forum.

 

Borussia dortmundt second team making their entire team unavailable for loan, when at least this issue was fixed in FM 23 last update and they did offer almost every single player for loan.

Explain to me what a bundesliga level player like Duranville is doing playing in the 3rd tier of German football, what development is he going to get? zero. 

Same thing for Real Madrid B, 3rd tier of spanish football. Entire team unavailble for loan. Rafa Marin played a whole season as a key player for Alaves in La Liga. Now he is left to rot in the 2nd team, non available for sale and UNAVAILABLE for loan. 

I am just getting tired. The problem is not fixed a bit. You once again delivered false hope to your users. As of now, the AI is worse than it was in FM23, and back then it was terrible. 

I do not even know what to say at this point. I have been posting about this bug FOR 2 YEARS, 2 YEARS for god's sake. Now you just took it back to FM23 pre-last update level. Why? Just explain to me the logic because I just cannot understand. It does not seem so difficult to fix that 2nd team should aim at loaning their players when they are too good to play in lower leagues. Please provide an explanation to me, because I cannot understand

By the way, to prove that I am not whining pointlessly, this is a screenshot from BVB 2nd team after FM23 last update. Just compare it to the situation in my post above. It's incredible, you guys just seem to take 1 step forward and 5 steps back

 

@Zachary Whyte some feedback please? 

Hello @abcdf

Overall there is a good number of young players that are getting loan listed correctly but there are some exceptions with top players in B Teams.

However, it was a flaw in FM23 that every player in the B Team was listed for loan, sometimes meaning the B Team wouldn't have enough players to compete. Therefore it's acceptable that the majority of young players in a B Team will be unavailable for loan.

You do raise some good examples with some of the Real Madrid B players, we will look into those further, thank you.

But how is it possibile that a 130 CA player is forced to play in the 4th division of German football? This is not realistic at all. The B Team should be composed by players that are a good fit for the league they are playing in. It is pointless to have Bundesliga level players playing in the amateurs leagues. It does not happen in real life. B teams are functional only as long as they provide good growth to youngsters, not the other way around. Even more considering that in FM they get zero growth by playing in leagues that are not good enough for their level. 
I’ll provide more examples, but that needs fixing, it is undoutable.
