Regens are something you might have noticed are mentioned a lot when people talk about career mode, but what exactly are they? What's the difference between a regen and a pregen? These are two questions I'll be answering in today's video!

The first bit of basic info we need to know is how FIFA generates new players. Sure, we all know how the youth academy works, and if you don't, click the link at the top of the video now, but how do other teams actually get young players?

The AI controlled teams don't work like the human owned team. They don't send out youth scouts to Brazil, trying to find the next Neymar. Instead, at the start of each season, the AI is allocated a certain amount of young players. This is actually what the majority of the processing time is used for between seasons, so if you’re ever frustrated waiting for the next season to begin, just know, your console could be generating the next Messi for you to find in that time.

Okay, so the AI just creates its own players, how does this apply to regens? Well a regen is just a shortened term for Regenerated Player. Certain players, usually ones from smaller nations or players with big potential, will be regenerated as young players, so nations can have national teams, and so your database will have the right amount of good players inside.

I think the most notorious current example of a regen is Benzema. After a few seasons, even if he hasnt retired, a replacement French Striker will be born to take Benzema’s spot. The player will be put in either the same league as Benzema, or in the Free Agents.

Regens are created when an original player retires and has the same potential, position, and nationality as the original player. To give another example – Ronaldo’s regen would be a Portuguese striker and would have the same potential as Ronaldo (currently 88). They’d either appear in the Saudi Arabian league, or in the free agents.

In short, a regen is a player who replaces another player once they retire. Of course this is only going to apply to older players, as the majority of young players wont actually retire in the 15 years we get with our careers. However, thats where Pregens come in. You’ve probably guessed from the name, but a pregen is just a community assigned name for a regen that appears before a player retires.

That means even young talents like Haaland and Mbappe can have their replacement arrive long before they retire. There’s actually no restriction on the age a player has to be to get a pregen, even 16 year olds can have their pregen appear and actually be older than the original player..

Pregens can be a bit more difficult to find, when compared to regens. If you find a high potential young Egyptian right winger in the Prem and Salah is still active for Liverpool, its a high chance that this is his pregen, but we cant be fully sure. If we find a huge Costa Rican goalkeeping talent in Ligue 1, and Keylor Navas has retired, we can be almost certain that this is his regen.
