Yes. Someone said they already saw the scans for Depay and Martial. Don't know if that's been verified.

Really, I am shocked they didn't do it last year since Harry Kan was pretty much untouched last year.

If this is true I am very happy... Because I bet a few others as well are done. Any young Dutch players make me happy as I always try to get that National job in my top teir MM.

Martial is French right?

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere (not been able to find it through search).

Just wondering whether anyone knows what kind of potential created players get in FIFA 16? I've created a few missing players, mostly aged 17-19 and with overalls in the low 50s, and I'm just curious as to how they'll likely develop.

In career mode they don't show "Has the potential to be special" or anything like that, only "Promising player" in the training section - from what I've read that just means training benefits are quicker with them.

This is for a League One team so I don't want them to grow into 80+ overall superstars! 60-70 potential would be perfect.

Do all created players have the same potential or is it more dynamic and influenced by starting overall, etc?

In the past I thought edited and created players did not grow much at all... That said this year if you train them they will grow. Promising Player has to do with quick growth not amount of growth...

If they do not have the Potential to Be Special or any of those on their squad sheet then they will not reach 80+.

I could be wrong on all this but that is my understanding.

Thanks a lot, that's very helpful. I'll probably keep the older ones in the very low 50s and the 16-17 year olds in the high 40s, then. Hopefully that way they won't have potentials over 70+, but if they're looking like being too low I can always use training later down the line to bump them up.

I really like the new layout, it really is a nice game!

Anyone know why players (Ronaldo), who typically wear long sleeve jerseys for most of the year (or all year round) only wear long sleeve jerseys in the winter? It's almost the opposite of the winter gear bug. The edit screen says "long sleeve", but it is only worn during the winter .

I don't believe this was present in previous FIFAs.

This is a small detail, but something that's noticeable.

Overall, I'm enjoying this year's game.
