Names of Youth Players Careermode

Hi EA-Community,

saw some videos of career mode and I’m really disappointed, that EA do nothing for the names of youth players. Do they think, that it’s cool to play every year with the same players? Sommer, Meier, Schulz, Bakker, Cech, Kadlec, Novak and so on. It can’t be so difficult to put 40-50 new names for each country in the game. I put some pictures from FIFA16 in this question, where you can see, which cool names we had in the past. What are your thoughts about that?

    Absolutely, I'm assuming that it was done so the commentators say the names, but surely EA realises that us Career mode people would rather have better name pools than our youth kids being mentioned in the commentary. It's so frustrating when you scout somewhere like Greece for a few months and find a great bunch of kids with only about 3 surnames between them. And other countries are worse.

    It's no surprise that the first thing most Career mode YouTubers do is edit the name pools.

    Yeah we need definitely more names. And for example we need not only typical names like Leroy Sané for Germany or Lamine Yamal for Spain. Nowadays we have so much splitted nationalities and you must see that in the namepool of the youth players too. Don’t want to have every year the same guys, so boring. They have to fix that in a future title update!!!! It is so great to have 160 countries for scouting, now we want to have the higher namepool and in the best case new generic national teams when EA doesn’t have the licenses so that we can bring our for example Nigerian youth players to the World Cup!

  • They've added countries where we can prospect, fine, but the family names are still just as *, for example: first names as surnames (Morocco), countries that share only 3 names (Ukraine) and those whose names don't correspond to the region (Fiji), it's shameful and it breaks the immersion, this problem has persisted for 2 years and they've never solved it.

    Please check it out!

    I‘m very happy, that I’m not the only one who hate this problem with the youth player names. Does anyone from EA read this task in the forum? Or let me say it in an other way: can we write somebody from the career mode sections directly??? This must be possible in the first title update to bring more names!!! I don’t want to scout another Francisco Tavares oder Edson Reis. And what doesn’t exist anymore are double names like Le Tallec or De Mesquites. We had so good names in older fifa games. And when you take a look at the social media feeds in career mode and the comments: there are so many different names, bring them in the youth academy!!!!!

    Yeah, that’s really bad! And we don’t need only more names for the new countries, we definitely need new names for the old countries. Don’t want to scout for example Edson Reis anymore. Or in France Baron. Why we don’t have names like Dembélé or Savinho or something like that. EA really have to fix that quickly!!!! And why are the youth players don’t getting older? With 25 they look like 14 years old!!!! Another feature that doesn’t work!!!

    I hope, that they will see this “bug” and there are a lot of people who are really nerved by this fact. It is a new feature so come on EA. Don’t let us hanging in the rain! But the most important thing is to bring out a title update to fix stability in Ultimate Team!!! So bad!

    Youth players should be editable. Literally no reason why they shouldn't be, it's a single player mode.
