Career Mode - Youth Academy Bugs

There are multiple bugs within the Youth Academy on Career Mode that need fixing, here's a summary of those bugs: 

  • Impossible to scout Fullbacks & Wingers taller than 5'11" and Strikers who are 6'3"+.

 

  • Scouting taller (5'11"+) Fullbacks, Centre Mids, Wingers & Strikers is extremely rare; the threshold and volume for taller youth players needs to increased significantly, as most scouted players in those positions are usually 5'7'-5'9, scouting 5'11"+ players should be a common occurrence. 

 

  • Most youth players are Left Footed, this needs to be fixed, only 20% of players worldwide are left footed, yet 80% of them in the academy are left footed; most scouted players should be right footed.

 

  • Playstyles are too randomised, CBs usually have an abundance of passing and shooting playstyles which shouldn't be the case, meanwhile the 'Long Throw' Playstyle is far too common, especially in Strikers and Wingers. 

 

  • Strikers continuously have low aggression no matter the Role selected, there's no role that offers a significant boost for the aggression stat, the base aggression stat should be higher regardless of Role.

 

  • Centre Mids continuously have low aggression and strength no matter the role selected, the base stats of aggression and strength on Centre Mids needs to be increased.

 

  • The name pool in certain African countries needs to be fixed, there are no Congolese names when you scout in the Democratic Republic of Congo 🇨🇩 as all generated names seem to be from Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Coast etc. The same issue is evident when you scout in Mali 🇲🇱 there are no Malian surnames, just a bunch of surnames that are native to North Africa; Congolese people have their own language/ethnic groups, therefore the names should reflect that, and the same applies to Malians; Malian surnames for example are Diallo, Dembele, Cisse, Keita, Diakite etc. Not Arab surnames from North Africa.

EA_Vendcera​ EA_Darko​ EA_Pulsar​ EA_Aljo​ PLEASE take a look into this and fix it, the fundamentals of the Youth Academy are broken.

    Only scouted positions that result in quality youths with high potential are goalkeeper, CAM, middle wings (LM and RM), and fullbacks. Have sent out three expert (five star) scouts out to different countries for multiple seasons and never acquired a striker, CM, or CDM with a potential rating over 83, an issue that has persisted, since FIFA 15. Additionally, for the past three months, notifications in the main hub of career mode have vanished that alert you to a new scouted youth report that is ready for review (occurred after a Title Update in November). Finally, for some reason the youth scouting system is broken, because all low potenial players have increased initial ratings (65+), while high potential players (potential to be special, etc.), always start out with a rating below 59.
