Career Mode Suggestion - Rename Youth Players
Hey everyone,
I have an idea that I think could significantly improve the realism and variety of youth players in Career Mode, and it’s something that could be quite easy to implement: Allowing us to rename youth players!
Why This Feature is Needed:
Currently, one of the biggest issues I experience in Career Mode is the lack of diversity and realistic names for youth players. Here are some of the problems I’ve noticed:
- Duplicate surnames: It’s common to see multiple players with the same surname, which doesn’t really reflect the variety we see in real life.
- Unrealistic first names: Many youth players have first names that feel out of place or are outdated, making them seem less authentic.
- Limited player variety: It’s hard to create unique and diverse youth teams when the game keeps generating the same names, leading to repetition.
How This Feature Would Work:
In EA FC, it would be amazing if we could rename youth players once they are scouted or recruited into the academy. This would add much-needed variety to their names, allowing us to:
- Personalize the youth players: Whether you want to name them after real-life footballers, family members, or even just more common modern names, this feature would add that level of customization.
- Improve immersion: Renaming youth players would help create a more authentic experience, with names that match the diversity and modern-day trends we see in professional football.
- Realistic career progression: It would make your academy players feel more like real-world prospects, further enhancing your connection to the career mode.
How Easy Would It Be to Implement?
This feature seems simple to add. EA could allow us to change the first and last name of youth players once they enter the academy, just like how we can edit player appearances in previous titles. It wouldn’t require a major overhaul of the system but would make a big impact on the overall experience.
Benefits:
- Variety: With the ability to rename youth players, you will see a wider range of names, which reflects real-world diversity and modern-day football.
- Realism: Imagine managing a team full of unique youth players with realistic, current names – it would enhance immersion in the game.
- Player Connection: As a manager, you would feel more connected to your youth players, making their journey more personal and exciting.
Conclusion:
In short, being able to rename youth players would be a simple yet powerful addition to Career Mode that would improve the overall experience, making it feel fresher, more realistic, and personalized. It could be a small change in terms of coding but would make a world of difference for Career Mode players who love building their dream team from the ground up.
What do you think? Would this feature improve Career Mode for you? Feel free to share your thoughts or any other ideas for improving the youth development system!
Let’s make Career Mode even better in EA FC!
