Lets talk about GTN

Re: Lets talk about GTN

I think if they balance out the generated players it will be very good in 15. There needs to be more variety, such as big, strong, slow target men, free kick specialists and the like. 10 seasons or so in and you find that players in a position just have the same good stats.

The actual scouting needs to be improved. There are too many things that allow you to almost perfectly judge whether a youth player will turn out decently. Actually finding youth players that are good enough to play in the Premiership is fairly rare if you are a top team, so really good youngsters need to stand out, or at least we should have boom and bust players.

My biggest bugbear is something different though. 90% of a club's youth players should come from that specific country, or at least nationalities that reside prominently in that country. You should only be able to bring in overseas players through scouting.

Every club should get (like in Football Manager) an automatic youth intake every season, in which you may find a gem, but you may not. Of course generally bigger clubs will sign better youngsters but clubs with historically good academies such as Leeds, Crewe and Southampton should get better ones in general.

So each club should get a youth academy rating, which could change based on investment or neglect of these facilities.

GTN and the youth system is much better than the old system of 'search for the highest overall youngsters' - it just needs some refining to make it perfect.

That is exactly why I have always preferred the PES/WES youth program.

I dont mind the GTN, I just find it hard to find players. But I feel the system needs a overhaul. Also when it comes to all these stars leaving their clubs every other season and benzema going to napoli is a joke. The whole transfer system needs to be done

I don't understand what everyone's problem is with the GTN!!!! I like it because it gives me players I would never even enquire about. But I do agree with you where the transfer system needs an overhaul. I hate that Madrid always goes out and tries to buy every nasty striker in the game except Messi. I always see them trying to Aguero or Suarez before I moved him to Barcelona like IRL
