One time this happened to me, the player in question promptly retired. He should have been aged 19 with great stats. It ruins the enjoyment of personalising these youth players as they come through the ranks. I guess I'll have to keep away from edit and be stuck with bland clones.
PS EA, if you're going to fix it, how about you let us assign a commentary name to the player in Edit too? That way we might hear a name a bit more frequently after all the real players have gone...

Same problem here. It happened with 9 (!!!) players with potential to be special. Just ruined my game completely.

I HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THIS GLITCH
I play on PS3, so i'm not 100% sure it'll work on next gen; but here it is.
After the player is 57/58 or whatever years old, RELEASE him. He will be a free agent and will not sign for another club.
Wait till the beginning of next season. On day 1 of the next season, search the Free Agents for a player with same position and country. He is likely to be pacey and 74 rated.
The age works as follows:-
If the released player is 80-89 rated, his regen(the new player) will be 16
If the released player is 70-79 rated, his regen(the new player) will be 17
If the released player is 60-69 rated, his regen(the new player) will be 18
If the released player is 50-59 rated, his regen(the new player) will be 19
AND SO ON
It happened to me 2wice, and both times i got better players than the ones I had messed up.
Best of Luck

For me the solution of patreek_mishra did not work. Im also at PS3. Do you guys think they will fix this bug for fifa 17 for old gen or is it the same they handle the boot bugs on pc?

Is this fixed for FIFA 17 on Newgens, or did it never even exist on Newgens in the first place?
