Youth pull

Have level 5 for a few weeks, yet the pulls were all horrible, so I'm not gonna personally build the facility as maintenance of a worthless facility are too high atm

Will wait and see if any of you get some decent ones with lvl 7, though I think that'll take a bit of time.

I'd expect the pulls to become better with each level, but they are literally at the same level as level 1. So what's the point?

Well, my friend, we all know that this doesn’t make sense and that it is configured incorrectly. There is no logic in paying a high amount every week at level 6 and getting players that are the same as those at level 1.

However, Marko said: “The system was built with precision and attention to the smallest details” and that “adjusting the system now may bring more losses than benefits in the long run.” He also says that everything is happening as planned and does not recommend spending a lot of money on structures that will harm our financial balance. According to him, many things still need to happen in the game, so we shouldn’t worry about this for now.

But I believe this is a mistake. The fun factor ends up not existing. National cups and international cups do not generate ticket revenue, but they do cause injuries, which negatively affect our performance in the national league. The youth trials have been an investment thrown away, the number of fans increases very little, which prevents us from investing more in the stadium to achieve better income.

As a result, we are unable to invest in both the training center (CT) and the youth academy (YA) at the same time. Having both at level 8 would cost 12 million per week, which is completely unfeasible, even with a 30,000-seat stadium.

In short, there are several factors that make the game not enjoyable. However, Marko has also said here on the forum that if any necessary adjustments are needed, he will make them. So all we can do is wait for him to identify the problems and fix them.

Agreed kboni97.

I've stopped youth and training centres at level 6 as there's no way I can afford the next levels. SO no idea how or when I'm going to be able to get some decent youths who are trainable. Even that good youth I pulled a while back (with good potential) has only popped 1 level in about 2 months :-(

Also, looking at the top 20 players in the game, only 6 are owned by real teams.

i have to agree, i getting worst on academy level 6 then i did on level 1, makes no sense, should be the opposite

Personally i stopped at lvl 5, will go to minus by a mln if i implement the 6th lvl. So i will stay here for now where my general revenue + sponsorship are in a plus before deciding what to do.
Till now i got 2 average and 2 above average in my 2 teams. The rest are all very poor or worse.

Currently blaming the ref for everything

Yeah, I think this is the best option atm. Will do the same. I really do hope youth system gets improved, otherwise we'll stall in the same place for a pretty long while.

im sry i had to complain here but this is unplayable, whats the point to even have an academy when all you get is terrible/very poor players? its super expensive and give nothing

I finally caved, after last 5 out of 6 youth pulls were Very poor, I downgraded.

Youth Academy at Level 6 is producing the same amount of poor and very poor youth as Level 4 or 5 with a significant cost difference.

It is part of Season 6 Update and it has affect on every level of YA. Luck plays its role, but chances for lowest potentials are somewhat reduced and transferred to some higher potentials just above them on the scale. It's necessary to pass some time and some decent number of pulls to probably notice the difference.
