HOYD Personality

[Grifty]

I just want to  if this is due to my HOYD...

So these are his stats + a perfectionist personality.

This is the list of personalities from my latest youth intake.

There's also another 7 that have come through that are in my reserves that he has produced. Is there a chance he has a low hidden attribute for ambition which is why this is happening? The best personalities he's produced are things like Loyal or Sporting and that's probably 3 players in 4 years.

Am I best off binning him off for a different HOYD? Is there a way (without using editor) to 'scout' staff to review their hidden attributes?

If I'm not mistaken a "Perfectionist" should have AMB 15-20 (going of memory here, could be 16-20), so his ambition should be high. If this is a one-off, it could be a poor luck, but if that happens regularly, there could be an issue to report here.

Edit: Do note that he only _influences_ intakes, so you could have low ambition players anyway. What about the ones (if any) he says he influenced with his style? Those should probably not have a low ambition.

He will only influence the personalities, specially of one prospect who he will tell you inthe email of the intake. But that doesn't guarantee everyone being a perfeccionist. Also club reputation and youth facilities / coaching heavily influences the intake.

I've noticed a lot of low determination, low self belief and unambitious personalities over the last few seasons, but I will give him a youth intake or two more to see if it was really a one off or not.

I'm not expecting everyone to be a perfectionist. I'm not even expecting one to be a perfectionist, but I would expect less than 10/18 players to be unambitious.

It was my understanding that club reputation and youth facilities / coaching would mainly affect the CA & PA of the intake, not their personalities? My club reputation is 3* but youth facilities are superb and coaching and recruitment are exceptional.

I’m pretty sure personalities can change over a players career. I’ve had a couple of regens who were, as a lot seem to be, fickle, that with the right amount of game time, mentoring and squad dynamics became something more favourable. Last version I had a fickle goalkeeper who after one season playing in my first team became very determined. So if the stats look good for a player, I wouldn’t worry too much about their personality. At least for a bit anyway.

Its not widely publicised, but all your other coaches influence personalities too, your HOYD just does it twice as much.

Personalities are also influenced by the nationality of the players, and I believe by default are supposed to be worse as teenagers than they'll end up after being influenced by the rest of your squad.

'Unambitious' isn't as terrible a personality and some of the others aren't as great as people think anyway

What's the rest of your club's personality like? How's the youth coaching? If most of them have good personalities and you have some solid mentors, I wouldn't really worry too much about the initial personalities in the intake as they will change overtime like others have said.

Just out of curiosity, that would be youth coaches only? Or all coaches at your club?

I've been getting a lot of unambitious personalitys and despite continual mentoring havent been able to change any of them to a different personality yet. 

Having said that, if you persist in giving them a lot of game time they can still develop 10-15 points a season.

 Coaches who coach youth players. I believe (but only SI can confirm) this includes fitness coaches and goalkeeper coaches as well as u18 coaches, but not first team only coaches or other staff like physios
