So for the country level newgens......

The most important factor in PA for newgens aka youth intake is your nations' "GAME IMPORTANCE" if it is not set to "Very Important" you will never have any good NewGens even if you played 1000 years. You have the RNG of finding 1 random Star like how some random Asian Island gets 1 star every 50 years or whatever.

I've done a load of build a nation saves and testing. It is pretty easy to test. Max out everything but set game importance to the lowest level and the NewGens will be awful even with everything else Maxxed out.

This is the actual problem with USA in FM as the game importance is set to the lowest setting while everything else is pretty on par with the Big 10 in Europe.

USA in FM cannot generate any USA players for a top 20 National Team. All of the USA National Team NewGens (once the real players retire) will all spawn over seas at other clubs. Because it uses the nations game importance of where the player is spawned at.

USA cannot even spawn MLS caliber players!!!!!!!! USA will literally spawn garbage NewGens in USA.The entire national team will be spawned at overseas club intake.


Game Importance supersedes all other youth settings and mechanics. I am not even sure if SI is aware of it lmao.

If you are playing a top league in a top country you really wont notice anything.
