    Still too many old players in squads, too few young 20 yrs old on a world class level

    Hello everyone, we really appreciate all the data you’ve gathered and presented. We're always looking to make improvements where we can, but at this stage of development further changes would require significant rewriting of code across multiple areas of the game.

    So this is something that will need to be looked at for the future. The data you’ve helped collect is very much appreciated and will be valuable to us for future development.

    This is a major issue, it's been like it for two games now effectively making them worthless to me. So this confirms that FM2023 will never be fixed. Player/youth development is not a small thing that should just be brushed over.

    Perhaps SI should spend more time on fixing what is already there in key modules, than spending time on yet more fluff features which add very little to the experience other than a few more screens, often just showing the same information in a different way.

    Although I won't hold my breath, no competition and favourable reviews on Steam means pockets will be lined regardless of the quality and funtionality of the fundemental systems of the game... So marketing friendly fluff features will prosper. It's a sad state of affairs.

    Sorry for the rant, but the direction FM has taken over the past decade is depressing as a long time fan, it's stagnant and the newer games are in many ways, fundemetally worse than games which came years before.

    Hi there, I just wanted to add my own 10 year holiday game test with you too to compliment @abcdf 's findings. Here is an overview of the average squad age in the top 5 leagues and thier highest reputation teams:

    This was run with these 5 countries loaded in full detail with a medium database.

    Some bullet points:

    - Loans of young players have improved

    - Of the 19 teams above the average squad age increased by 2 years

    - Of the 19 teams above there were only three players in their teens in the match day squads

    - It seems players playing well into thier late 30s has decreased, but squads are still too old.

    - National teams still have a issues where older players with high reputation get call ups over young players, ending up with aging National team squads

    - Reputation is still too powerful and the AI is still not realistically developing and utilising young players

    I am happy to upload the saved game if that helps.

    Stadium Expansion

    in All Other Gameplay

    Do any of you have a save prior to the request being made in the first instance? Would be very useful to our QA team who are investigating. :)

     

     

    I see that callpress has already uploaded a save, but I will upload mine this morning too.

    After completing 4-5 seasons on 2 different saves I'm convinced that stadium expansion does not work at all, because out side of the predefined expansions like Liverpool and Portsmouth, there have been no stadium expansions across the whole of England in both 5 year saves

    Stadium Expansion

    in All Other Gameplay

    I've had this issue too and have posted on the general forum. I'll share my post here:

    Hi there,

    I'm a bit concerned that my long term save with Kidderminster Harriers might be bugged with regards to stadium expansion. I've made it to the Championship in straight seasons and late in my League One promotion season I requested that the stadium be expanded, a 2,500 expansion was agreed by the board and around £1.2m left my account. I'm now in late September of my Championship season and went to the faculties tab to check when my stadium expansion would be completed and there is nothing there... No reference to the expansion at all except for the huge spike in my expenditure from when I paid for the expansion. The "Expand stadium" board request is also not available anymore.

    Am I missing something? I'm not exactly a newbie to FM and I can't remember this type of issue before. My main concern is that his save was started in beta and I like many other users start a new save when the full game hits, however I was enjoying this save so much I decided to continue on, was this a known issue in the beta? It also looks like none of the other clubs in the football league have expanded their stadium either and the only changes are predetermined stadium moves such as Everton and Luton.

    I'll be gutted if this is an issue as it's a potential save ruiner. :( But it looks like it is an issue.

    Thanks for any help on this and I understand this is quite niche concern so it might not be well known even if it is an issue.

    EDIT: It is in the planning phase on the Club Vision page, but I've holidayed the the date and nothing has happened, and it's changed from "In progress" to "Completed". No news item either.
