Hi everyone

Can someone shed some light on scouting - I'm new to BB but joined at the latter stages of last season and picked up some decent draft picks due to the scouting reports I had. My question is though I have been paying $20k pw week this season for scouting but cannot actually see what I'm getting for it, am I just wasting money???

any help gratefully received.

thanks

Even if it´s interesting to invest in scouting, you have to think that you are leading your conference and you´ll pick after all your rivals. If they pay $20K too, you are probably wasting money.

Не will pick after many bots - so it is a very good idea to invest in scouting.

Along the same lines...I am in a league with only one other human player, so it would make more sense for me to max out on scouting and put off further expansion plans till next season?

Sure, if you can spend the maximun in scouting do it, your bot rivals will pick random so it´s an interesting expense.

Yes - barring dumb luck of bot teams still randomly drafting (some of) great prospect ahead of you. If by expansion you mean expansion of your arena I wouldn't halted that, expand it a bit ASAP (meanwhile you can also optimize your ticket prices to get more money from the same/similar amount of visitors instead of not so effective sell outs).

Edit: typoes here and there and

Build some luxury boxes for sure (not so many). Check arenas some more established teams of similar level to get a better hint of suitable prices (and win road games not to lose visitors).
