[Starting a save with fake player names]

First of all, does anyone actually do this? 

Also, been thinking about the AI squad building issues and how I personally think real life players at the start of the game are the cause of the imbalance leading to the same players playing for the clubs well into their 30s. 

Has anyone done a long term sim of the game using fake players from the start. I know these players just replace the real life ones, but as there's no issue with licencing, their personalities would (I assume) be better spread. I'd be interested to see if 6-10 years down the line the starting XI for Chelsea (for example) still has all the same players well into their 30s or whether the gameworld would be better balanced for the lack of real life players and their faultless personalities. 

I'm not interested enough to the extent I would do this myself, as I actually like playing the game, but for those peeps who like to experiment, could be an idea. Would be interested to see the findings, that's for sure. 

Anyone up to the task?

I cant get the fake players option to work, all its doing is removing the photos, so I end up with all the same names in the same teams and no regen faces

[Give back control of Individual Training]

still a problem in FM23, I cant give control back

[player common name change]

This still happens in FM23 too

[Ghost goals]

Anyone else seeing this issue, teams being given goals they didn't actually score? happened a couple of times in my game now

game highlights go to kick off unexpectedly then just like magic theirs a goal that wasn't there before and that you didnt see any highlight for
