Fc 25 Youth Academy
Hey fc, in career mode & in particular the youth academy, a lot of newly scouted players will have exactly the same type of face I.e the eyebrows are always pointed down with an alien shaped head. It...

That’s a really nice post and speak out of my soul. And it isn’t only the small name pool for the new countries, we need updates for the old ones. France and Brazil have for example the same players for years. Don’t want to have Edson Reis or Henri Baron anymore. Give us names like Dembélé our double names like Le Tallec!!!! EA can give all the social feed more different names. Why they don’t do it in career?!
It's such a mess... Is it really that hard to just go on Forebears and add names to the pool or have ChatGPT spit out 500 names for each country or whatever
The Youth Academy system is pointless the way it is now when almost every player has identical names. YA is by far my favourite feature in careeer mode, just sad man
That’s exactly what I’m talking about. When I look back at my careers, there was always a youth player who really put benchmarks on every save! It’s the best to develope them from the the bottom! This is the reason why it’s so sad that we have so less national teams too! Some players will never play a World Cup at this moment. But let’s get back to the names. How good would it be, when we have more and better youth names. Think about a France player called for example Thimothée Dembélé and not Henri Baron?!
It really is amazing how EA functions both specific to this game and accross the company. When they actually add something good one place, they cannot capitlilize on it to its full potential. They do things like use Frostibe to share assets and save costs, but does it actually make games better or allow assets to be similar in games? Looking at the new things in career mode and at other EA games it gives good examples how EA can't help but mess things up.
Add all these countries to scout, goood well done, something people have wanted for a long time. But, cannot update the name pools so everyone is almost the same. You say this is too hard to do how can they actually have different names. And yet EA already solved this in College Football by generating names with AI. Why was this not sharred with FC?
Continuing, FC is going to create faces for youngsters using the new cranium technology. Cranium does work well and you can see lots of videos about character creation. But do the youth players they've created in academy look good and compare to actual teenagers? I would say no. Why did they fail here? You know what would solve this? Let us edit the faces!
Going further about the youth players and academy. Do they actually replecate how football teams use acadamies? I can now scout San Marino, Somalia and Tonga. Great right? Now ask me what football club scout these places for youth players? No one? Why is that? Maybe because the cost and time of going to those places outpaces the value, or the fact that you cannot legally register a youth player from those places most of the time. Isn't the point of careeer mode to replecate real football? So the fact that most youth teams are made up of local kis and not players from the four corners of the world maybe should come into consideration?
I start a career in Norway and find it costs me 300k to scout in Norway but 15,000 to scout Senegal or Mongolia. What kind of sense does this make? Why even have budgets for scouting if you are going to mess them up so much?
Why they can put so many good and different names into the social feeds but not into youth academy ?! That totally kills the fun!!!
