Youth Academy Height Bug

In the Youth Academy you can't scout Strikers taller than 6'3", this wasn't an issue prior to FC 25 and the problem is still occurring in FC 26, in fact it's honestly difficult to scout any Strikers above 6'0" in general.

In the Youth Academy you should be able to scout Strikers who are 6'4"+, unfortunately we can't do that, for some strange reason it's capped at 6'3", not to mention most scouted Strikers in the academy are 5'7"'-5'9", the chances of getting Strikers within that height range is too high, and it shouldn't be the case, to reflect real life football, most scouted Strikers should be 6'1".

It's extremely rare to get tall strikers in general, please fix this and patch it so we can get tall strikers on a regular basis, on previous editions of Career Mode I could scout "Physically Strong" or "Striker" and come back with Strikers who were 6'4"+, why has this changed? 

It's so unrealistic to scout "Target Forward" to only comeback with a bunch of Strikers who are all in the 5'7"-5'9" range, please resolve this, it's so frustrating, we should be able to scout Strikers who are 6'3"-6'6" on a regular basis; scouting CBs and DMs above 6'3" is pretty common I get a lot of them, so why can't this be the same for Strikers? Please fix this.

    it's crazy how they consistently ignore their community 

  • fix this issue for crying out loud, why can't I scout tall strikers and wingers? Why are 90% of scouted players 5'7" and below?

    This is embarrassing.

    Are you seriously giving me a warning for that?!

    Excuse me, but you guys have been ignoring the issue with the lack of training free kicks, curve and penality stats in Career Mode for over a year and a half now.

    That, itself, should warrent a warning, mate. :D 

    No, in all seriousness, my wording in that message was actually meant to get you guys out of your chairs and take a gander on those particular posts (the one mentioned above, but also the one about the hight issue in scouting scenarios).

    I'm - in real life - a manager of 60 people and function as a bit of a legal and lean expert. You should really consider hiring some student workers to work through all those posts of yours and do some early visitation. Then make them investigate the issues in-game in order to make a prioritized list for you to being able to lean on. A list based on urgency, difficulty to solve, etc.

    I really hope that you guys will soon get some more help, because it seems like you're swarmed - thus not being able to take urgent matters like those described seriously.

    Please, do all us old Career Mode players a solid and spend a couple of days taking a look at these issues. It's really not a huge ask, but it's an enormously big deal for us.

    Best regards, Jimmi
