Fantastic that this has generated so much noise. I've actually started a new save with @Daveincid database, last Friday, pre-data update (I just couldn't wait...) and hope to avoid these issues to some extent.

I am also managing Dulwich GL!

Just praying for the player development fix…

Found it. Cry face

Yes similar for my save. I am hoping someone from SI could acknowledge the issue as I feel my save is basically now on its last legs in 2032. Why start again for the same result. I'm a bit of an addict so it's really gutting!

I love this thread. But also infuriates me because it's so true!

@Neil Brock Hi Neil, is that right, this is a known issue? I think I've seen mention of fixes to newgen and player development in a patch release. Will a new save resolve the problem or if not is this something that is being investigated? Thank you and sorry I've picked on you I just ventured into the bug forum!

I've got quite annoyed about this since my last post. Have SI said anything directly to this issue? Or could they? It's a game breaker... For me anyway!

Thanks for all your responses. This is gutting. I will have a look at the other database.

Not out the box too quality but they need to be generated and progress to that level. There should be a similar mix of player quality across all ages as there is in today's game.

I've reached 9 years in the future and for the past few seasons (and definitely now) I have found it really difficult to find top class players, either established or in between raw and first team top league ready with potential. For example if I search a position on "within scouting range", select the attributes per position and the value to 15, the results are 95% the world class players from today but aged 27+. When I lower the value of attribute to 14, 13, 12 etc, and/or the number matching (say 11 of 15 attributes, then 10, 9 etc) the numbers of players barely go up (then jump up to high number of average/below average players) and drop off in quality is noticeable. It's like since the game started no players have progressed from age 18/19 to become elite/world class. There are few exceptions, and some almost out of the box regens who are great. My teams have ended up being built on aging stars except those I have managed to find and developed. The AI obvious have a few themselves too. Save game created 10/12/22. I've got large database, 85k players across 12 playable nations and 24 playable leagues. Full scouting network and knowledge of everywhere. It just doesn't feel like it usually does. I usually have one or two saves per FM and go to 2040-50. I even played with a slightly bigger database on this FM than I have done in the past. I move clubs and build teams so this is really frustrating. I've read some feedback on the Web about something like this. And some relating to the beta. Am I alone? Thanks!

I’m having this issue too I’ve been through a lot of DC’s now and I can’t explain their poor ratings. Fine I do well but you still have to manage an individuals poor performances and media attention etc. I’ve reviewed statistics and cannot work it out. In my book 6.8 is barely acceptable. They’re getting 6.85 average over a season but that’s a lot of very poor match ratings 6.3-6.6 matches.
