'Create Player' birth year interval needs to change
This issue have been raised for several threads for several FC titles and because this is related to year, this is becoming a greater problem for every year.
In the 'Create Player' feature from the main menu (not in 'Player Career', 'The Grounds') we have the birth year set to a minimum of 1980 and the maximum of 2005, meaning we can't create a player younger than 20, going on 21, for FC 27. This exact birth year interval have been the same for I think at least five or six FC titles, meaning that for every year we are just able to create players older than last FC title.
Many of us use the 'Create Player' feature to create players not in the game, for example reserve/youth players, for use in manager career mode. As we now just can create players from the age of 20 this is currently not possible without giving them the wrong age, which kind of kills immersion.
The birth year interval should change so the maximum birth year is 2010 for FC 27.
I am no developer but as I understand mechanics of the game this birth year setting should be set to increase every FC title, so that the interval for FC 28 is 2011 and so on. This means we always can create players of the age 16 going on 17 for every FC title, which is the youngest real players in career mode every year.
As this 'Create Player' feature is outside of any mode (like it is not 'Career Mode', not 'Ultimate Team', not 'The Grounds' etc.) it seems that no developer team have the responsibility to build/expand this feature, and therefore it is not fixed, and/or they do not understand what 'Create Player' section that needs fixing (as it is fixed in 'Player Career' for example).
EA Developers: Please see the images below to understand where this needs changing.
1. From the Main Menu choose this button. This is where you access the 'Player Creator' tab where the 'Create Player' section that needs update is.2. Under the 'Player Creator' tab click the 'Create Player' section (2). This is the feature that needs update.4. The 'Birth Year' section makes it possible to just create players born between 1980 and 2005. This interval has stayed like this every FC title for many years and it should be increased to at least 2010 now. For FC 28 this should increase one more year.As you can understand this seems to be such a small and easy fix. If this is not changed, please give us some context to why it cannot be fixed.
