AI teams not loaning out prospects/selling unused players

To investigate something like this we'd need a save file with some specific named player examples. At the moment it's too vague to go on as we'd need more people to raise the issue or to back your claim.

If you can provide a save, we will investigate promptly and action any changes we feel need to be made:

Hello Kyle, I uploaded a 2030 savegame, the first one I hand available since the issue is so prominent it does not make much of a difference. It is named "No loaning example 1"

Look at Arsenal B team (again, just picked a random team). 

They have 3 spanish newgen wonderkids (Aizpurua, Rojo, Aranburu) that are clearly TOO good to be playing in the reserves teams. Using the in game editor, I can see that they are all around 130-140 CA. And, as you can see, Arsenal is not loaning them, and above all making them UNAVAILABLE for loan. And NEVER playing them in the first team. As you can see it does not make any sense, and ruins some possibly incredibly good players in the future.

Another example from the same save. Look at Bayern II. Some newgen youngsters like Duwel, Hasler and Fischer are clearly way too good to be playing in the German 3rd League, and will likely get no development out of it. Still, they are set as not available for loan.

Look at Barcelona B as well. There are a bunch of 21 yrs old in the mid 120s CA that are just rotting in the spanish third division, when they could at least be good backup players for lower tier La Liga teams.

 

 

I have actually uploaded another savegame that I used primarly to conduct experiment on the subject. I named it "No loaning example 2"

Look at Chelsea and Liverpool reserves team. FULL of 20 to 23 years old that have not been loaned, and are very good players, some in the 140s CA as well. As you can see, just the overall amount of loaning those big teams carry out is just ridicolous. Liverpool just loaned 3 players in the whole season, Chelsea just two. United 2 as well. City only one.

Barcelona loaned zero players. Look at Niko Takahashi in their B team. a 174 PA player that has been loaned only ONCE in like 9 seasons. As a result, his CA is still in the mid 120s at 24 years old and he is playing in Spanish second division

Appreciate that insight, I'll pass the save over and see if anything can be done.

thanks. I think seeing a more realistic behaviour on the transfer market by the AI would immensely increase the immersion in the game
