It has been brought to my attention that some teams are able to do their scouting combines and group demonstrations already.


I can't and we are not supposed to be able to yet until after the all-star break.

Any thoughts?


EDIT: - yes...I have enough scouting points....

How? The listing isn't going to magically change just because you can't press the button at the same time as others did. Others didn't get more points to spend nor any more information than is available to everyone else post All Star game.

Really, I see absolutely *no* advantage to someone having used the Combine or Demonstration early.

Here's the thing: If you're going to see them, you'll see them after the All Star game. This is still weeks before you'd need to have them in the final order.

The only *very* minor advantage would be if they saw a week earlier that they found a 5 Ball 5 Potential 18 year old at perfect height and decided that they wanted him, so they have one extra game (the All Star Game week game) to tank the season, hit 16th, and have assurance on getting the player. Then demote to D.V.

I was the same. I just checked it and did it not even realizing it should not have been available.

Another advantage is that they can see the draft earlier which means they get an earlier chance at adjusting the money spent.

Maybe now they know that they need to spend a little more to see certain players or they know that they have all the information they need and can quit putting money into it.


That is certainly a large advantage.
