Growth is basically about 2 things — game time and good performances. Mini-update: The Japanese 15 yr old CB Masao Akita has grown to a , so I guess with any luck by 16 he should be around 65 and above! Looking good! Xavi Perez looks good as well! To find out for sure and to see his OVR you could always release him to the free agents, then reload.
Yup yup I see what you mean. I also realised that the stats under the Strengths tab of the youth player change as the player grows. Yep, that reflects them growing whilst in the academy. Each month a scouted player will have a certain number of growth points distributed around his stats. Interestingly, if you reload then they are often distributed differently. His stats will have improved, just in different ways. Sometimes this means the difference between a player growing or not growing from one month to the next.
I ended up selling him at the end of the season after he was still stuck on Was going to buy him back after a few seasons since no one wanted to get him on loan, but my career mode froze up. Barely into the second season. Ah yes doing a long-term loan is always a good idea, as long as you give him to a team that will play him in the first team all the time.
Are you playing with the winter squads update? Yeah I sold him to a really low level team, but dang save froze up. One question! Does manager mode freeze up too? I prefer 87 Fernando thank you very much. I thought that at first, but then I realised that all the players who have gone down have just been replaced with others. Leali has had his potential go up from 79 to There are plenty of others like that.
Part of the fun of making the updated So You Want A articles on my new website was finding all these new high potential players. Thanks for the info. I have a couple scouted players that have made their way to my first team.
For some reason i cant stand the fact that they have the crappy ea generic brand cleats. Is there any way to get them nicer cleats? Unfortunately not, they always come with EA boots. Nice works, this actually helps. Regarding to the scouting network, whenever we set up a scouting network, the scout will recommnend a few potential players and we get the monthly reports of these players also.
Then, in case we want this scout to find out more young players, what can I do? Do I have to re — set up the scouting network? Actually I wanna to get as much as potential players from scouting network but I dont know how to do this because we only have 3 scouts. You can then decide whether you want to sign them or not.
Does that mean that my player when he gets to be 16 his OVR will be 64 or can it be better? Also he was not recommended by my scout which for was really wrong!!! Ah well that 64 OVR player is your 14 year old that you released! Secondly, that means your 14 year old CB is rated 64, which is incredible for a 14 year old!
So you must hold on to that player! It should be around 70, which is incredible. That way you can maximise his growth time, as players in your academy grow as fast as if they were playing every game in the first team, which obviously you may not be able to guarantee. Abel Hernandez! Be sure to check out the links at the top of his page too, he has lots of articles on cheaper lower league players, the best players in the game regardless of age, etc. Have his OVR and potential ranges narrowed down?
Have you managed to find out his actual OVR by releasing him yet? I started a league mode in the A League, and am about 9 seasons in. However, I wondered if the fact that the season is only around 30 games long stems the growth of my youngsters as they only seem to improve 1, or sometimes 2 points a year if they play every game.
Also does how their playing position effect their stats impovement? It probably does affect it, but probably only slightly.
Player growth is affected by game time, but also by performance. Also, if a player has high potential then he will grow well anyway. For example, I bought El Shaarawy on a different career mode, and he was rated around 77 age He only grew 1 point the next season, despite playing loads, but the next 2 seasons he grew 4 points each!
I think some players grow well at the start of their careers, some at the end, and some just grow steadily throughout. Are his CAM stats going up faster than his winger stats? A lot of people myself included have found that they scout a lot more good CBs than full backs. By contrast, a full back would have to have all of those high maybe not strength so much , but also good crossing, and arguably also good passing, dribbling, speed and vision.
So a full back has more stats that need to be high, and the chances of all those being high is lower than if he just needed 4 or 5 stats to be high as CBs need. Hopefully this is something that gets fixed in FIFA Ok, another and final?
His stand tackle, marking, interception and slide tackle are 78, 74, 72 and 72 respectively. Pity that. Belgian players sometimes. Alessandro Galloppa — 16 years old — RW — overall: — potential: Federico Moretti — 17 years old — LW — overall: — potential Marco Girasole — 16 years old — CB — overall: !!! But what do you think ,Is there any player s i should release? You have some incredible players there, especially Busellato an Girasole!
However, make sure you loan or sell them to teams that will definitely play them when you get an offer, click stall and then check out the other team in the transfer window. Before the update players used to grow really fast points per season typically. However, this of course meant they reached their potential really quickly, so career mode can easily become boring this way. Hmm, very odd. I know of some people on the EA forum who said they were able to delete the file and go back to pre-patch.
Hi post is great, all I was wondering is do players grow quicker when you sim games or if you play them? Or does this not affect it? I think this is less of an issue in FIFA However, goalkeepers still seem to get a raw deal if you play matches. So I think this is where simming could get your players better ratings. Other than that, though, I think playing and simming are about the same. Australia has the lowest great players odds, followed by North America and Rest of Asia.
The rest is in between. I have this Scottish youngster, 62 overall and potential when he came out of the academy at I decided to play ahead of my starter in the EPL because he was sucking for some reason. Alas, he performed far beyond expectations posting nine clean sheets in the EPL and helping my team to a FA and Europa Cup semi-finals finish!
He was 71 by the end of the season! So if you got a promising goalie who you would like to be your starter, just play him. Any way around that? How do you know that certain countries produce less good players, or that Australia is the worst? Are you playing pre-patch? If your sim then they are more likely to get good ratings than if you play games old bug , so that helps too. I know exactly what you mean about trying to sell young players.
Hopefully this is something that will be cleared up in FIFA Depreciating assets! And about the country output, you can access the file that dictates the chances of finding certain tiers of players — there are four: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
Naturally, Platinum are the best youngsters out there. Each set of regions have different probabilities for each kind of player. I also found on the scout. Accuracy of the report is dictated by whether the scout is operating in his country of origin or not.
If yes, then the reports will more accurate. Thanks for the hugely useful info! What I am more surprised about is that all regions are ranked. I thought there would be the top few and then the rest, but instead we see that there is a hierarchy that includes all regions.
Unfortunately with school ending, work begins so I will have very little time to tinker with the data files. With that said, I will report on any new finding I have. FIFA 13 is just around the corner too, so maybe at some point it might be futile! Awesome, cheers for the good work! Hey, I have a question. You are mentioning experience and knowledge. For me in the game it is experience and judgement. Which way around does it follow then?
Does judgement dictate how good player you find, and experience the type? It used to be that you could win a game convincingly whilst playing but your players would still get poor ratings. If you win easily and the opposition hardly has any shots on goal, your goalkeeper will get a poor rating because the game seems to calculate GK ratings based on how many saves they make.
Hey great guide by the way it has helped me out with the scouting in my carreer mode. I had two seasons with sporting lisbon and scouted some decent players in my second seasn. But I wanted another challenge in a different league so I switched to marseille at the end of the second season. Now some of my youth players were not 16 yet so I could not promote them to the first team before I left.
So my question is: are the players lost that were in my youth squad for sporting lisbon? Well it turns out that some of the youth players from the Sporting Lisbon youth squad are released as free agents, but for some reason their names change. I found them because they were one of the only 16 year old free agents, played in the similar position, had similar overall ratings, and were from the same country like Paraguay. So I guess the scouted players still do exist its just they decided to change their names.
When a player is released from your youth academy he automatically becomes 16 and his name changes, but everything else is the same. You can release a 14 year old and he will become 16, which is annoying because it means you lose 2 years of growth!
So did you sign those youth players? Do you know roughly how old they would have been when you left Sporting Lisbon? What was he when you promoted him? This is the beauty of playing pre-patch, your players become amazing so quickly! I have 2 main saves. On one I have an 18 year old CB from Italy, and I gave him first team football on my Chelsea squad when he was just Absolute beast, has 7 goals to his name already and is And I just stumbled onto a 14 year old CB from Mexico.
O with potential of This is the best one I have found! I had this player called Jason Spear from England. His overall was 67 for a 16 year old! Any help. Yep, EA actually introduced a bug to the game through patch that was meant to fix things. Anyway, at the start of a new season go to your youth squad and click on all the players who are 16 or over. On the contract screen, if it says 4 years that means you may have this problem. There is a solution — release the player in a transfer window and sign him, as you know.
If so, reload it and see if you can release him in a transfer window. Before the November patch players would demand up to 5 year contracts, but you could offer that to them. Hey , i have a question , i had 3 promising 14 year-old youngsters scouted with 91 potential , i was going to sign them but then my scout finished , do you know where there are going to finish? Sometimes they will end up in the free agents. I did this myself and luckily managed to find most of them in the free agents again, so look there first.
Regardless of how old they were when you were scouting, they will now all be 16 years old. Their names will also have changed, unless they were 16 when they were released. In my opinion, if you find any very young players in the free agents with OVR of 55 ish or above, sign them, they could very well have been your players. They will likely have much higher potential than the players already on your time, so in all likelihood they will be your best chance to improve your squad.
Even if their OVR is a little lower than some of your other players, make sure you play them as much as you can, as they should grow quickly and will soon become your best players. I play 2 matches a week most of the time and i have 24 players.
He sounds great. I would play him as much as you can because he has a very high potential and will probably become one of your best players. With that in mind, he needs as much game time as possible.
Is there anything I could have done? I can look at the stats and make a pretty good determination without it, but it would be nice to see CAM or CDM for long term planning. If a young persists in getting promoted, and no matters how many times you reload the game. Maybe then you can offer him 3 years and he signs. What I do is offer them a contract when they are 17 at the start of a new season.
So I am playing for Real Madrid in the year But I have a major problem with the scouting. Every time I go to South American countries, or Spain, I get the normal amount of players, but they are all named Sergio Alvarez, different positions, stats etc… Is this just a glitch or has anybody else had the same problem? Oh and I have also found some extremely talented players with your scouting guide.
I have Davide Corsi-Striker-Italian years old overall. When I brought him up, at age 17, he was worth 23 million dollars, now up to about 50 million. Matthias Kaiser-Striker years old overall-Worth 55 million dollars. Diego Ortiz-GK years old overall- Worth 35 million dollars.
Thanks a lot for this guide, it is by far the best I have ever read! I think maybe if you scout too long in one area the game glitches up and seems to run out of names. Loaning can be a bit hit and miss. What I recommend doing is starting your young players as much as you can, then subbing them off after about an hour.
Just make sure that when you get an offer you click stall, then check out the team making the offer in the transfer screen. If you loanee will be the best player in that position, accept the loan offer. If not, reject it and try again. Hey dude!
Great guide! One question though, you said to save and reload when your scouts sends you report once every month. I play every game in my CM. Hope you understand. So, what do I do then? The way the scouting works is that scouts report back on a certain date each month e. One scouting report, my scout came before a game. And I never looked back. I have a similar problem. Well, that triggers the glitch.
This issue was fixed with the November patch. After reading this, I only accepted the best to my youth academy so that I could save space. Just signed him today. Well, the year-old is no longer the star. Now it is a 67 year-old with POT All of my youth players are getting pretty strong, I expect to win each game 4 or 5 to 0 in 10 years. Haha nice! What team are you? The biggest problem will be the new year-old, he is a center back, and by defense is an average of I should be able to work him in as a wing.
The other players will be fine, because my entire offense is about to retire. Well, my offense is back. Oh nice, your squad must be amazing now. How are those youth players doing that you mentioned before? Did you manage to find space for that amazing-looking centre back? Silberbauer most definitely, he looks incredible. Maybe they meant instead. What are his other stats like? Quite often strikers are very unbalanced until later on in career mode — they might have incredible finishing, but poor pace and heading, for example.
What is your player like? I am about to start year 7 in CM with F. I do not understand how some of my players have not reached their potential. I just sold Bruno Uvini and Adryan because they were growing too slow. Does anyone have any thoughts? Post patch growth is generally speaking much more steady that pre-patch.
I can personally recommend Lucas Piazon and Adryan — both reached their pre winter update potentials with me, and I had them every season right from the start Adryan on loan at first, Piazon purchased in the first January window. The easiest way to tell if your players are growing well or slowly is to do this — most players stop growing at around age 28, so subtract your players current age from Then work out how many points off your player is from his potential.
Then divide that number by the first number. So for example, if a player is 18 years old and is 21 points off his potential, then he should grow 2. This is just a rough guide. Some seasons he may grow 3 points, some seasons he may grow just 1, but in the end he should reach his potential. I had this situation with El Shaarawy when I bought him, and in the end he only ended up 1 point short of his potential. The game tries to make players reach their potential if it can, provided they get enough game time and play well enough.
Pingback: Player Potential Proportional to Transfer? Great post! It really helped me a lot through all the scouting business :. For my first one, the most notable player was a 14 year old with an overall of and a potential of For the second one, I had a 14 year old with an overall of , and a potential of , and a 14 year old with an overall of and a potential of And for the third save, I had a 16 year old with an overall of and a potential of and a 15 year old whose overall was and potential was Can you help me out?
Load up one of the saves, go to your youth academy, release the player s and then find them in the free agents i. This way I get a nice balance of keeping them in the academy so they grow well, and avoiding them forcing their way out. So I guess if you save and reload til the next season start and offer a contract then, the contract length will go to one year.
Thx dude, really helped me out, just a week ago i had one from Brazil, Joao Calado, 14 years old, potential and ovr , when he was 16 his ovr was Anybody know what Type of player I should tell my scout to look for if i want him to find a Central Midfielder?
I need a box to box midfielder that leans towards being more defensive like a CDM but has adequate passing so I can spring effective counter-attacks. However, if you reload then they will all be good — I found some real beauties when scouting in Japan, for example. Nice post man! He is 14 years old is he are good?? He could be, but you have to make sure you play him as much as possible, that way he should grow pretty quickly.
If not, then you could always reload and try again, you could find someone with better OVR and similar potential. I promote them and go to my squad 2. And then il loan them maybe it work to rise up the ovr can i learn from you? Is there anyway to check whether or not you have the nov. Also, is there any way to remove it, I have some player in the overall range at 16 that will not sign because they want 4 years and i can only offer 3 i think.
Also, are you on or PS3? I have both and would like to talk to yyou for a few minutes if possible waterish. Transfer window closed 2. Which player are you referring to in point 2? If your Danish player quits your academy then there is a small chance he will still be in the free agents at the start of the next season it happened for me, but most of the time he will just disappear.
I can only suggest you try reloading new season a few times to see if he stays in the free agents i. Your right. But if your not scouting and on normal carrier mode Buy: Welbeck 76 and his growth in 2 years time will be: 85 Welliton 83 to 88 Ericksen 83 to 90 Santon. Also how can he have four positions? Scouted players only have 1. Mard is a classic CAM in the Zidane mould. Meanwhile Robertson is speedy 85 and shaping up nicely.
Other notable mentions to Liam Barrowman of Scotland, a centre back with an OVR of 73 at 19 years old and both tackling and marking nearly at 85 so he is going to be very decent indeed. The scouting is a great addition to the game and makes it worthwhile for me but it has annoying flaws that really need to be improved.
Like why do I want a right back who is nearly 2 metres tall and very slow? Also why are the majority of the players very short and well built? The game engine in FIFA 13 I hope will be much improved and we will start to see players coming through the academy who are very quick and ideally have skill moves or the ability to upgrade these somehow! Lots of annoying niggles with the system due to EA being lazy so I really hope these are all sorted out as it has the capability of being brilliant they just need more attention to detail with it.
Tell us about your best players and keep the stories coming please! Nice players! I know exactly what you mean about the scouting system. Speaking of lack of proportion, I have 2 Japanese defenders on one CM. One looks pretty skinny, whilst the other is built like a tank. However, the skinny one has strength 85 and the tank has strength 76!
I post there under Waterish and lots of people put up photos of their youth academies. You might get an amazing player on your very first try, or you may have to wait a while. All I can guarantee is that these methods give you a much better chance of finding good players than not using them at all.
But thanks for your input anyway. Hey Waterish first I want to thank you for an amazing blog. Truly great work! Am I doing something wrong? When released I check the Free agents and nothing.
Not even under different name, just no players from brazil at all. Did you make sure to check immediately after releasing him? I only get players that look like there going to be awesome.
The only thing making me continue this career. Are you playing pre-patch or post-patch? I had a player Adryan, from Flamengo who was growing 4 points a season, then one season he just grew 1 point, then it was back to 4 points again the next season.
I was scouting in popular countries like Argentina and Brazil etc, Never found a really potential world class player. Then i deccided to try and scout in china because i have never before. Wow great find! And without even reloading? I would like to ask if the winter update and november update are same or not because youth players barely grow and if they are how do u delete it. Winter roster update — this is just a squad file that EA released that covered all the winter transfer activity.
November patch — this was a game update released in November that fixed a whole raft of bugs in the game. Unfortunately, it created the 4-year contract bug, where youth players sometimes ask for 4-year contracts but can only be offered a maximum of 3 years, leading to them being released and then disappearing from the free agents list.
It also significantly slowed player growth. Before the patch players would peak around age After the patch they peak around age Are you playing on Xbox ? If so, this is how you delete it: link look for the post by jblack about halfway down the page. They actually really good.
Thank you for your guide, thanks to it I have found the most amazing player ever in my career of course , and other amazing players to play alongside him. He is a Canadian CB. I share my foundings:. Do you know if they grow in height? I want to start a career with the Plymouth Argyle of the npower league 2 and scout 22 players for the main team and second team, and grow them in order to help me reach the Premier league.
I play with 4 attackers 2 wings, 2 attackers and it works pretty good…i searched for good players from the start and i Got a few. I select a scout, then select the type of player I want to scout ex. Spain , then press Enter to send the scout. And then in the next screen I see that the scout has gone to a completely different country.
Its usually Croatia when I try to send him to Spain. Okay I found the solution. Tried it a bunch of times and got the pattern.
Its sending the scout to the country whose name on the list is before the country I selected for the scout to go. WEIRD, really! Thanks, anyways! Have you tried starting a new career to see if it still happens then? I sent my scout to china and got a OVR and potential of And I was in my 6th with arsenal.
I managed to always win the league and champions! I also wanted to ask if other teams on the career mode also created o generated youth players on their academies. CPU teams do scout their own players as well but there are plenty of regens as well on their teams. Sorry for the late response by the way! You are commenting using your WordPress.

How do i make my own team? You'd need to start a career mode game to get this. Once you start, you'd be in pre-season. Select the "Youth Academy" option to go into the sub menu.
From here, select "Scouting Network", and then "Hire Scout". A list of possible scouts would appear. Choose one that you like, and hire him. Note that the amount used to hire him would come from your transfer budget. Now, just play the game for a few in-game days, and you'd be informed of the scout's arrival via the in-game email. Once he's here, go back to the scout and deploy him to any region you want.
