am a little frustrated in how low value players can be scouted twice

this is a sensible suggestion! a scout can see a prospect 1 time, and if he has 2 left feet NO Scout is going to waste time to re-scout that player.

Right now on my Edit Draft Screen there is this player
1 Star Rating "F" Grade Rating and 1 Star Potential.

Why would ANYONE scout this player three times? So fine, have crappy players and perhaps they get scouted once. But after that the scout know not to waste time on 1Star players and move on to other player.

first off all he was scouted twice and thats the system, with more intelligent selection they had to change the draft system because high amount in scouting becomes even more useless.

If you like to have explanations, i give you twice:

- this player above, plays against an other player who was strong enough to get on the draft, when he scouted this player in a game against him so he see him twice.

- this player plays in the near of the scout home, and he knows local players better then flying through the country to see a other guy

Maybe this helps you a bit.

If you scout only 1 player a week, how is this possible?

Where is our location? For example, I play in the U.S. However, there is no clear way to tell WHERE I live in the U.S. Also, all of the players on my scouting list are from the U.S., while I am not told WHERE they live in the U.S. So, according to the game's data, don't all of the players live the same distance from you?

did you do that, or did you just get one scouting point a week if you spend 5k? You have also some basic informtaion, who maybe fit with that too and your scout present the result at the end maybe he works one weak harder and the next one he is fishing.

i would argue that you have at least a point where your arena is ;) And i could imagine that there are enough people that they have a high school or basketball club, because luckily they are some fans who come to your game. But i stop writing efforts, is it just a thinkmodel to arrange with the current system - because i don't see much senseful proposes about draft who don't make it to cheap to get excellent informations.

My comment tonight is about the draft and is not meant to criticize those who put no money at all in for the draft. OK...This is probably going to be a rambling type of discussion: Nimrod Farkus, my scout, probably doesn't know a 5-star player from third base, which base he never reached in his short baseball career. But he is paid fairly well to go out and report on these scouted players. He then brings in several more to give a more complicated assessment. Now, Farkus, being the genius for talent that he is, brings in 4 guys and reports to me that he has given a C-, D+, and 2 Ds! What a genius this s***head is, right? I mean, is he a -1 scout? Which begs the question: Why are managers who have been in the league the full season given free looks at players? Who is doing their scouting and who is paying for it? Does the fact that they're not putting a dime into scouting simply reflect the fact that they think they can do as well as those of us who invest in it? If so, they're probably correct. My last three seasons—with a fair amount of money put in—have yielded virtually nothing. Comments?

Not sure what you mean by "free look." Managers who don't spend money to scout can only see prospects' game stats, which are the least valuable of the indicators in my opinion. I think it's true that if you spend $20K weekly on scouting, you have to get an MVP or perennial all-star at least to sell for enough to make your money back, and there's no guarantee you get that guy, but you could always look on the transfer market instead.

thats wrong all team get 12(?) scouting points for free, for more they have to pay ...

SO i don't understand the complaining, but they also could see more then just the game stats of some players

It was done with tongue-in-cheek, CrazyEYE, not really meant to be taken seriously, OK? And it wasn't complaining at all, merely a comment...Pappy

why i don't want to be taken seriously, because the truth is so boring?
