here's a few observations:

the teams are relatively equal in strength to their actual player counterparts so at least for a while you won't see major surprises.

you can spot some players easily who are basically renamed actual players (i.e. young spanish/serbian forward playing for barca) but not all players are like this. some complete random stars are generated as well, so not all world beaters are players that you would guess.

this might be a bit off since i'm well into my game (2028 now :p ) but i've found that the issue with newgens being "bad" is really nonexistant in these type of games due to basically everyone being a newgen. i need to do some checking, but it feels like the "known players" are generated with specific nationalities rather than being direct copies of who they represent, so everyone is on equal footing if that makes sense.

i find that i prefer this type of game, it just takes considerably longer to get into.

so the defenders in your game have good jumpings and psysical stats and the forwards are pacey?

relative to the other players in the game yes. point is, it's not comparing newer generated players to "real" players whose stats are already set, it's comparing generated players to other generated players.
