Young player attributes plummeting?

If you upload a save file we'll have a look to see if anything stands out. There are ongoing tweaks to player progression in the meantime anyway, so hopefully you'll notice changes in the near future.

I'm one of the people doing the Youth Academy Challenge and many of us have been noticing this as a major issue in developing our players specifically when they stay in the U-18's from 16-18. While I've been able to successfully develop some players that has only been when they've become first team starters at 16 getting 80+ Appearances by 18. If I leave them in my youth team, or they are just rotational players they at best stagnate if not decline by the time they reach 18.

I've uploaded my game file as indicated. It is: "Belgium YAC - RAAL - Youth Development Issues". 

Here is a link to the challenge forum post page where others are also discussing this issue

Thanks for taking a look. I'm going to wait to start my long term youth only save before i know for sure this is been solved. Thanks for keeping us up to date  

@Kyle Brownwill those changes be save game compatible please ?

Youth only player here and there is definitely a bug regarding development.  Most of my players simply don't develop, despite being in the first team.

Same problem for me. Most of my youngsters don't develop even if they are first-teamers. They youngsters who stay in the U18 just regress, making my youth saves unplayable.

Thanks for providing your save. 

We'll get this looked at by the devs.

Cheers,

Luke

Might be not popular but I think there is no bug

 

Started a new youth challenge with Scarborough, played 6 months, here are the CA on the 1st day vs after 20 league games.

A JACKSON 52 TO 48. -4 POINTS

N CARTMAN 57 TO 52. -5 POINTS

K WELEDJI 54 TO 53. -1 POINTS

L MALONEY 52 TO 50 -2 POINTS

J CADMAN 41 TO 36. -5 POINTS

B GOODA 52 TO 49. -3 POINTS

D COGILL 56 TO 54 - 2 points

T HUDSON 50 TO 50

W THORNTON 52 TO 53 +1

J DAY 59 TO 54 -5

 

So after a promotion to a higher division, having no coaches to a full coaching team, the whole team is getting worse and worse instead of better.

How is that not broken?

 

uploaded 2 saves, scarborough day 1 and scarborough 6 months to compare/contrast

@Luke Hume or @Kyle Brown, hope it's okay to tag you. I have asked MR U Rosler to post here and he has provided 2 saves. See above.

Thanks for providing the save. We'll get it to the devs.

@Luke Hume2 weeks further now, is there any update on this ? If this is found will it be fixed via hotfix or do we have to wait for big update to come later for this to be fixed ?
