International Signings in Complex

Jman0329 · 12-26-2017, 03:55 PM

Hello fellas/gals, I have seen conflicting reports on this topic, so I am making another post asking for sure.

Does keeping INT signings in the complex until they're 18ish y/o ruin their development? I have issues developing good international players this year. Thanks

something to keep in mind, international players often fall off a cliff no matter what you do. It's simply not likely for them to reach their full potential. You're probably not doing anything wrong.

Now the reason you're seeing conflicting reports is because the community is conflicted lol. The developers have said that players develop the same in the complex. I feel they develop better playing actual games. Could i be biased? Sure, but it's just what I've experienced. The official word however is that they develop the same.

when i used the complex (i don't anymore) i moved them up at 18, and give them a 2 year window in A ball. After that, i released them if they failed to make any progress.
