can anybody tell whether the training bug has been fixed and how young players now develope after a couple of seasons?

What training bug are you referring to?

i've had no training bug with 801 or 802 currently.
youngsters improve at different rates but that's to be expected.
unless you want all of them to hit their PA at the age of 20

no..that was the problem with 8.0.1 all youngsters developed at exactly the same speed! this was admitted by SI, who said they would look at the possibility of different speeds

the problem was that with the quality of the regens there were hardly any good players below 25 from 2016 on...and the national sides were massively overaged..

thats why i was curious how young players develop in the long term

8.0.0 had a lunatic developement, 8.0.1 a in general ok developement, but with no room for exceptional developements like Messi, Rooney, Owen, Ronaldo or Raul who were fantastic as 17 year olds already...and you did not find anybody below 22 with really good stats in 2016+ anymore...

so can anybody say how youngsters develope in the long term now and whether there are good regens in the future with 8.0.2?

Creation and development of regens in 8.02 is something I am very interested in. I remember reading a post from SI that suggested that 8.02 had tweaked the regen/development model to ensure that some promising youngsters had a bit of a CA boost to get them up to speed earlier, but havent heard anything on whether this has had an effect.

I'm not far enough in yet, but being a saddo who reads these forums a lot, the general concensus is that it's better but still no superstars like those you mention.
