Youth academy player names and youth scouting countries

Will we get an expanded pool of player names  in EA Sports FC 24 when youth scouting in career mode (back to FIFA 22 and before standards)? In FIFA 23 the career mode was unplayable in certain countries, e.g. Romania, Poland and Turkey, where you would be lucky to see more than three different surnames in home nation scouting reports.

Added to this was the inaccuracy and still very limited pool in certain continents, especially Africa. Almost every country in Africa was grouped together, despite the continent's diversity of languages and cultures, which seems very disrespectful. Almost every country in Africa just generated players called Hassan, Ali or Ahmed, as if every surname in places like Uganda or Kenya would be that, which is strange when you compare them with any searched list of most common surnames in the respective countries.

And why are all Cameroonian players given Senegalese names? Did someone get confused with the flags? Shouldn't we be able to scout Senegal by now, considering it is widely considered the strongest national team in Africa?

Will we get new scouting nations in FC 24? I don't think this has changed since the 2022 edition, which added multiple European nations, although still left out Bosnia & Herzegovina.

  • @tn55alq2ryer Unfortunately they don't care I'm completely with you on this I've raised this issue on countless occasions and I've been ignored so many times, I've even messaged them personally and gotten no reply back.

    The name pool in Eastern Europe and Africa is genuinely shocking, because of it I've had to go back to FIFA 21.

    This issue just highlights their incompetence and laziness.
