Re: Players & Teams Data Authenticity feedback Megathread

Youth academy players from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)  have surnames from West Africa (Senegal, Ivory Coast etc.) please fix this, DRC has its own ethnic groups, culture and names, why then do the youth players from DRC have a bunch of non-Congolese surnames? It doesn't make sense, it's like scouting in Scotland and getting a bunch of players with Portuguese surnames.

Same applies to Mali and Liberia, you scout in Mali and all you get is Arab surnames, why? Mali isn't an Arab country, and the people from that country do not have Arab names, and Liberians do not have Ghanaian surnames yet all Liberian scouted players have Ghanaian names it doesn't make sense, it's laziness from EA. 

Please fix this, it's extremely ignorant, nonsensical and culturally insensitive.
