My Corluspor team were having a wonderful time avoiding relegation from Turkish Second Division Category B, in the face of massive debt and useless players, when my youth system produced a couple of devastating target men, a prodigious right winger, a towering centre half and a superbly combative defensive midfielder. With my 16 year-old proteges installed in the first team, I won promotion and am now a mid-table certainty for the league above.

It's happened before - I always get a couple of suspiciously good youth players and it's very hard not to use them. Bah.

That's great!

No it's not - it gives me the choice of a) accepting the bug/unrealistic feature and having the game made a lot easier or b) forcing myself to ignore my youth system. It's not realistic in the slightest - I had four target men under the age of 17 with 19 or 20 for jumping come through in 2 seasons. They're all brilliant players at that level - they're so strong and bouncy that they win every header going, and often muscle their way onto the end of low crosses too.

It also gives me the knowledge that I can play long ball with supreme effectiveness whenever I want, where I was quite enjoying having to find a way to outmanouevre the opposition on the ground with naff players. Save game ruined really.

I find it good, but if you're happy with always fighting for relegation not to happen...

Remember all the good players have to come from somewhere maybe Read maybe The maybe Header etc people like Iajafer, Craig, LFCfan they were good players even when they were playing for small teams I call that talent, you really call yourself lucky to have good youngsters

Decent post, if you don't count the player naming, that is.

Or the woeful punctuation.

retired_ravi

There is punctuation in that? :eek:

There is one comma. Not used correctly, but there is a comma...
