haha should do, however might be easier for GM-Rip to change it for now if he gets a chance.

As for the answer to this question:
The bots will be choosing according to the baseline rankings.
Note however that the baseline rankings are different for every team, so you shouldn't avoid scouting the first player on your list thinking the bot will get that player.
Also, note that the baseline rankings are wildly inaccurate, and so a 5 ball baseline ranking could be a 1 ball player, so essentially the bots are picking "randomly".

Thanks Naker, there are no bots in my league but i´m pretty sure i´ve read somewhere that actually bot teams aren´t going to pick randonmly anymore and your explanation it´s ok.
Best regards.

Bot teams will pick based on the word on the street, which is said to be better information than pure random. However, I haven't seen any proof that it really is better than random.

Summary:
- Each team gets a different word-on-the-street evaluation
- Bots pick based on this evaluation

In which season can I use those scouting points, which I will get during the playoffs? This or the next one?

So, was there a problem with how many scouting points you get ?
Did people get an unfair advantage over others ?

Are you sure that question is supposed to be directed at me?

I would be happy if anyone could answer my question. You included.

I believe there was a problem, but it was fixed quickly and those teams that used more points than they were supposed to had their list of draftees reset

I'd like an opinion. I'm inclined to try to strike it rich in the 2 remaining weeks spending $40k/week because I don't have (m)any good prospects scouted.

I have 0 scouting points and 6'8" and 6'9" 4 star skill 18 year old PGs ready to be interviewed. Problem being that their size is deterring me from interviewing them. I would not train tall PGs. Additionally I have two 18 year old 5 star skill word of mouth prospects who are both 6'3". Better, but the whole word of mouth ratings are like my own personal crying game. They're inaccurate.

I can receive 2 + 2 = 4 scouting points and interview the two tall point guards or receive 4 + 4 = 8 scouting points and fully scout the two short point guards AND interview one of the tall point guards. Should I just spend the $40k a week? $40k is peanuts, right? I'm over analyzing this.
