The short answer is yes it does.

Short answer - yes.

Longer answer - the level of football (and your facilities) can affect both the amount of improvement and the rate at which players develop.  As @Seb Wassell likes to say, you're aiming for the "goldilocks" zone: put a player into matches that are too tough or too easy and it can affect his development, so try to involve him in matches that are "just right" (his player rating can be a basic guide).

So for example, put an 18 year old Messi into Shrewsbury Town and his rate of development will probably be much less than if you put him into Barcelona, because Shrewsbury's facilities, coaches and matches are at a lower level than Barcelona's.

Worth adding to herne's information that a player only sees the benefit of playing matches at 18 years old or over (and that benefit is key to development), before that point it is all about training (facilities, coaches, etc.).

To add to this, if a player is stalling due to the level he's playing at, you can see it in training reports. It'll say that they need match experience at a higher level to progress.

Keep an eye in the reports section of a player (make sure it's from a Coach with high CA scouting) to see what level they're most suited to for loan purposes.

If you kept a player in Barcelona B because they have good facilities would it stall His development a bit bcuz of level of football

Yes, at some point they will have to play against better opposition to gain worthwhile match experience.

The Top 2 Divisions of a country are the only leagues i will entertain for sending a player out if the player has genuine potential, anything lower down is a waste, if you are in a low league yourself, then i would just play him myself, also i never send them before their personality and determination are ready are at least 18 and have a current ability of 2 star

Wait, WHAT? In 20 years I've never heard this. You're saying if you bring a 17 year old into the first team it's a complete waste of time????

[dan111]

I absolutely disagree with that. If i have a promising 17 or even 16 year old, i like to bring them in as early as possible, and have noticed an earlier bump in their abilities as a result. 

[Fmplaya]

I think that it means that it is more beneficial for an 18 year old to see first team football than a 17 year old
