You would think, at the least, that a scout could tell the difference between a 1 star and 5 star athlete. I did the combine on the 1 and 2 stars, and got several 5 star athletes. I scouted several 5 star athletes and 3 were 1 star. I know it's a game, but put some realism into talent evaluation. In real life, a scout might miss between a 2 star and a 3 star, maybe, occasionally, between a 2 and a 4, but the difference between a 1 star and 5 star? Not gonna happen. Especially not 3 out of 7 or 8 evaluations. A scout that bad would never hold a job.

Your scouts are good, it's just that there aren't any good scouting services out there that provide a good overview of all the prospects. Once your scouts do their job, you know, go watch a guy play a game, they are providing you with good information. But as you certainly know, rumors (which is what you have right now) don't always turn out to be founded in reality.

The scouts get their information from 'Word on the Street" conversations. Maybe your scouts talked eclusively to biased fans that give great information on players that they like, even if they were awful, and give terrible reports on great players they hate. Ever think about that?

Your scouts are only as competent as you make them, so you tell them who to scout and if their bad, then you obviously don't scout them. And next time don't send them to Duke, when UNC has all the great players ;)

I don't think I can ever complain because the new scouting system is like 10 million times better than the old system. Back then you really could complain about scouting the players.

Has anyone read anything about letting those of us who can't "scout" right now actually have the ability to run the combine.

I have 22 pts saved up and yet I can run the group scouting.

Yes. That was my expectation as well. However, there are other teams who have been able to run the combine and already know all of this information.
