I also noticed this, playing the same way you do. Although i started my save during beta, but i see that you started after the full release. Made a similar post, though maybe wrong forum.

The workload is light to medium across all teams, but i just had a ''light-bulb moment'' based on your feedback. I though workload was affected by the amount of players in your team + whatever's on the agenda during training session. But maybe the reason why they have high workload is because they're training three different teams? if so this is a game changer for me after playing FM for 15+ years :P In my example, yes they're still young, but they've also been training at top facilities for 15 months. They're personalities aren't the best either, so i guess I'll need to have an comparison to one with a good personality(if my HOY can manage to bring some in...) A change i would like to see is that staff(manager + coaches) in the under 18s affect the players personalities the same way Squad personalities affect players when they're reach the senior team. From what i know personalities on coaches other than HOY have no effect.

This problem only affects the youth team and under 18 players, i would say after 18 they improve at a more normal rate. At least all the positions other than fullbacks/wingbacks. Seeing it from a real life perspective the development in physical (which is also showed in my example) makes sense, however i would expect them to grow more considering the facilities and staff i have. Also would expect the technical attributes to grow more. the mentals i would expect to grow at a later stage. My coaches (first team special roles) are also training reserve team + under 18s. Could that affect the training? Should staff only be tasked with the team they're hired for? It could also be that the potential of my example just have really bad PA, and that's why it's little-to-none improvement, hard to tell without using editor. However the scout report says that they can improve a lot.

So i've been noticing barely any improvement in my U18's squad. In my example below i've used players that where 5* prospects and have been in the U18's for 1,5 years. i feel like i'm doing the right thing for development. i particularly choose PSV to also control the reserve team in Keuken Divise and promote U18's once they're ready for the challenge. However they never seem to reach that point. The exisiting players that are 18+ (in reserve + first team) are developing at a normal rate. Has the u18 development just been ''nerfed'' a lot? Anyone else experiencing the same? This save was started during beta.
