    Would be good if youth setup identified which areas of first team squad needed long term replacements, more depth etc. Rather than the game generating youth players in positions you don't need or they have no chance of getting to first team squad.

    Young lads coming through in real life are still experimenting in different positions and roles anyway. So in game it's a case of you identifying where each player will play best and training it.

    There's no youth system out there pondering which position they need. You want to hoover up the best players even if they're all centre backs.

    Yeah mine didn't even get a bounce. Some of them where just god awful. Sold them to other teams and checked on later in the save. Still doing dreadful. Restored some confidence knowing it was more them than me 😂

    Yeah unless you're one of those really good players a journeyman type save you'll come across disaster jobs you can do nothing about.

    Always remember if your frustration with the game is getting to you, you can always take a break. Resign your manager and close the game. Return when you're ready.

  3. Seen a couple mention this. I'm managing Hertha Berlin myself and those in the second team I can't set their individual training even though there is an option for the manager or assistant to do the task. This could be done in last year's version.

     

    Is this deliberate or in error? It would affect my ability to develop youngsters as I see fit without throwing everyone into the first team and setting them to play in the reserves.

    By looks of it any unlockables achieved in  23 are carried across to 24. I updated (Apple Arcade) yesterday and both Add a son and Golden Generation were available. 
     

    On that basis I’d assume that any progress made in a save to date will also be carried across. 

    I've seen some say the no work permit unlockable hasn't carried over.

  5. I went ahead and holidayed to the 30 season console limit and below was the final coefficient table top 15

    Not being loaded didn't bother Spain and especially England who had a stranglehold on the continent. Germany Italy and France all gradually fell away and have been stuck in the pack for the last 10 years. Probably no surprise that the Portugal and Dutch league were best placed to take advantage of this. Belgium with their youth production probably not unexpected too however the rest remained firmly behind the traditional big 5 leagues. Greece made inroads thanks to AEK having a massive tycoon take them over. Liechtenstein have Vaduz and its tycoon takeover to thank for its position. Guaranteed European football each year and it took full advantage getting to the latter stages each year including one final but they lost it so failed to once see the Champions League. They finished top of the Swiss league on a couple of occasions and claimed the title of champions but its not officially recognised.

    So not loading the big 5 has little effect on what became the big 2 though the others did fall away. Most of the active leagues also had one team dominate them unrealistically with many 10+ titles in a row and RB Salzburg in particular winning the Austrian title 30 times in  a row in game, longer if you include real life. Rangers dominate in Scotland and Celtic are without a title in a good 20 years. I've a feeling an explanation here is that with the smaller leagues able to do better in Europe its a case of who gets the Champions League money recycling those funds and dominating their rivals as a result.

    The Champions League final only once had a team from outside the big 5 play in it. They had sporadic appearances in the semi finals only though quite a few made it to the quarter final stage. English teams grew to dominate it with often all English finals, The lesser European cups had a bit more variety.
