Because I don't like the fact that most of the Wonderkid regens in the game appear to be Spanish, English, Brazilian or Italian, I edited the Youth Setup of many clubs in other nations like Cameroon, Czech rep, Sweden, Croatia, etc.
I used the official editor and maxed the Youth Setup to 20 for lesser clubs. But while playing the game the top regens still seem to be coming out of the same nations I mentioned above.
While using FMM 2.1 I saw that the Setup of those clubs was no longer 20, but 10. So it appears that while there is a limit to how much you can have as a financial balance there is also a limit to your Youth Setup. While using FMM helps to give you more funds where the official editor doesn't, it is impossible to increase the Youth Setup using FMM. You can save it to 20, but next time you open up FMM the Youth Setup value has decreased to 10.
Does anyone know if there is a way around it? Does it help to increase the stadium or the reputation of a club? Or do you need to make changes to the nations (E.g. development-ratio), nation?
Whatever the case, what do you think about putting a limit to what you can edit?
So why does SI prevent us from maxing out the Youth Setup of some clubs?
Maybe SI wants us to use the editor only as a means to make minor changes, in order to correct incorrect data?
The only other reason I can think of, is that an increase of your Youth Setup stats also generates a higher expenditure, and that this club would soon face bankruptcy.
Maybe anyone from SI... to answer this question??
