Youth Academy player quality progress

[Sinany03]

I believe it happened after the latest update, I’m not sure. The youth academy does not display niether the current level nor the potential progress by assigning coaches in decimals; only show the rounded percentage. That decimals were important to be able to distinguish between player who can improve faster than the other. Is that why they are removed? So that we get tricked into investing a slower improving player?

Example:



It used to be that the first player was something like 59.4% while the second one was 60.1%. More importantly assigning the same coach would result in something like 14.2% increase for the first player and 12.8% or something for the second one. This is critical as 13% can mean anything between 12.5% to 13.4%, which makes a big difference for me when I invest in one of those players.

Not only there, they also removed the decimals from the game in overall team quality.
When you click on an opponent, your own strength and his was displayed like for example 128.8%, now it only shows 128%... Don't know why they would do this.

Oh yeah, didn’t notice that! I guess I did not care about the decimals when checking the opponents but I agree, why remove decimals?

Hi guys,

Thanks so much for this feedback. We are working on correcting this visual issue and showing the Player Quality decimals in places where they were previously shown, among which is the Expected Quality in the Youth Academy feature. It will likely be fixed with the next update, but we will keep you posted.

Best,

I don t bother with academy players since they have high greys if you train them and haven t met a FT in the academy so far.
The lower the rating, the higher white skills can get.

All free 0T youths are non-FTs. That is for sure.

Heard that there is a chance that those 6T ones could be FTs, so I am also trying to bet 6T every season with my 2nd team to see if that could be the case...

I tried multiple 6T strikers on my teams. None of them were FTs, the chance to get FT out of youth is zero in my testings with hundreds of players.

Yes, that was also my previous experience with several tries with T-costing youths from academy as well.

But then with 6T players specifically I only had tried 3-4 times with all non-FTs, and was told that there is a chance. And so I will try several more times just to confirm if there is any possibility. Worst is wasting some 60Ts, which is expected for a rather definite confirmation.

For me it's not about the fast trainers from the youth, but if they perform well. I heard many times that they do and I know some successful managers mainly using these youth players. They are often beating similar and stronger teams.
But how to test in an competitive environment? I'm too scared to waste my greens on a slow trainer and then he might play badly.

My experience is that, if the same Youth coach improves an academy player to higher level than another same base-level player, then the former player is FASTER trainer. I’ve been basing my investments to YA players to this theory and it’s been actually true for me so far.

That is actually the reason I started this thread. If you look at the 2 players I posted earlier, they are very close and the decimals are the deciding factor on who is the faster trainer of the two. I remember thinking the first one as the faster one, so it must be something like 59.3+14.2% vs. 59.6+12.8% but now I can’t be sure because decimals are gone and the two players seem to be +/- 1% of each other.
