Youth Rating – What Is It?

Youth Rating influences how likely specific nations can produce an average amount of quality newgens; the average number of newgens who can become world class players or players with higher reputation in the future. A nation with better youth rating will over time produce newgens with higher standard than a nation with lower level. But it is not a definite matter that the nation will constantly produce the best newgens, as this is also tied to club reputation, club’s youth facilities and a bit of luck.

The number of quality newgens coming through from one nation with superb youth rating will therefore increase the probability for you to find better newgens quicker than in a nation with low youth rating.

What that means is that the chances of youth in Brazil becoming worldwide names are much higher than in South Africa for example. The Football Manager Youth Rating is a static attribute found within the official editor.

Game Importance – What Does It Mean?

Game importance is tied to the nations youth rating as it’s also a factor for discovering quality newgens. Game Importance is based on the economy, how it affects the people in the country, or how important football is in that country. Obviously it’s hugely important to England, compared to Wales where the national sport is Rugby. Nations with high number of population, high game importance and high youth rating will produce a higher average number of quality newgens, with good amount of reputation and at last an higher level of current and potential ability. But this last factor is also determined by each clubs training facility, junior coaching and youth facilities.
