Created Players In Career Mode?

I wanted to manage Uruguay in Career mode but I noticed they're quite thin in the depth department because most of there top young players play in the Uruguayan league which isn't in the game. So I decided to create some of them & put them in free agents hoping they'd get signed & develop into future NT players. I created 7 players (only 1 was signed) & when I started my second season I looked them up & noticed that they had all gone WAY up. They were all ranked between 64-70 overall when I created them & went up to between 80-88, and this is for players who were free agents who played zero games all year! What do I need to do to fix this? Created players don't have potential rankings, so should I create with 40-50 overall?

This is something that really sucks about Fifa. There is a huge difference between player growth in case of player you play with and the AI players. You grow rapidly and they grow at a snails pace. I personally don't like this inconsistency.

But your case here seems to be unique. Why don't you put them in teams? instead of making them free agents. May be that makes them more likely to be called for the nation ( only may be).

Player growth in fifa depends upon the age of the player. I checked through the related Setting files and the age at which players grow most rapidly is set to 21-22 ( +8 OVR per year ) , anything up or down registers lesser growth. So its not only about lowering the 64-70 but also the age you give to the player.

Nothing I found seems to suggest that non-user player growth depends upon the numbers of matches they play.

BTW I cant seem to find the .ini file regarding the effect of age on player growth. I've lost it. I'll share it If I come across again.

I didn't sign any of the players I created, I listed them as FA & hoped other clubs would develop them & a few years down the line I could call them into the NT. All but 1 remained Free Agents & they all seemed to grow outrageously...

Is this the same for GK? From what I've seen they seem to grow fastest in mid 20's... Carlos Butland (Birmingham City) starts off as a 69 overall with a potential of 85 & he didn't grow at all!

It varies in acc. to position the player plays at. I haven't tried searchiing for the .ini file again but i'll do now. Hopefully i'll come across it this time. Lets see what it says.

BTW, even in actual real world soccer Gks grow most in their mid 20s.
