Create a Player Age/Birth Year
I enjoy creating players in EAFC and using them as pre-loaded youth academy products for my career modes. Since 2022 the latest birth year you could use for creating a player was 2005. In Fifa 22 this meant that player was 16 going on 17 at the start of the save. In FC26 the latest date is still 2005. This means that the youngest player we can create is 19 going on 20. It's 2025, and we have players fully establishing themselves in world football as teenagers very regularly. Lamine Yamal, one of the world's best players, was born in 2007. There are dozens of players in the game multiple years younger than the players we can create, and for some reason this setting is being gatekept.
This is frankly an astounding level of ineptitude and laziness from EA. The idea that loyal FIFA/EAFC players have been noting this exact concern in these forums for years only to be ignored is truly maddening, especially for what is surely such an unbelievably simple fix. This series grows more and more pathetic and unplayable with every passing year. Please listen to your players for once and make an obvious fix to improve your product. It's easier than you think to not be this petulant and greedy.
