Default number of "ethnic" youth team players???

Ok so this has bugged me for a while now.

When you start a new game its quite clear that their are a good few number of talented youth team players coming through with all sorts of ethnic backgrounds, kind of a general outlook into modern britain and the multi-cultural society we have created.

The regens though just seem completely void of this and it makes the game highly unrealistic.

Youve 5 times more chance of seeing a "dave" "bob" or "ian" rather than a "jemal" "duane" or "leroy".

And when these names do come out these lads are white, now i really dont wanna start up a whole race thing here, but its making the experience so unrealistic and seeing an england side 10 years on with 18 white englishmen with the names ben, mike, alan just isnt very forward thinking is it??

*Shrugs* It's just a game. I won't be losing any sleep over it. Maybe SI thought they'd get into trouble for naming players Mohammed.

Um the only non-white English players in the current England first 11 are Cole and Wright-Philips, of which only one is a definate starter.

On top of this neither of them are called "jemal" "duane" or "leroy".

In my game the current Dutch star is called Julio Rodriguez and Manuel Thumber just got his first cap for England so I don't think this is a real problem. Maybe just your game.

I'm sure this would cause more problems for SI than it's worth.

Should I get upset then if I'm managing the Botswana national side and keep getting white regens with names like Smith or Jones??

Im sorry but i think this is a stupid moan.

There are black regens in my game and there are white regens.

FFS does it really matter whether they are mostly black or white regens in your game.

I could understand if you were managing Kenya and had a team of all white players, but its hardly a game changing problem!

I think we should all learn to be colour-blind.
