What's the point of reaffirming that the player is indeed a D- rating?

The point of double-scouting is not to reaffirm the rating, but to disclose the potential. Would you rather have A+ announcer, or a D- hall of famer?


This is an excellent point I had not considered, primarily because none of my double-scouted D's and F's had any potential either

No. That's the same as with skills. Collusion, too easy to get the wanted one,...

Hehe I was thinking exactly same thing as a new player:
1) why there is no height in the scouting reports
2) why nobody has not mentioned it yet (until you did)

I think the height of the players (which would be very easy for scouts to find out) should be included in the first report of the scouts. This would be very important to decide which one would prefer to get and not to end up with unpleasant surprises of ie a PG with 6'10'' height. Should be one information that would help team managers to decide their draft order. Surprises should come (bad or good) from players that have not been scouted.

Unfortunately this would allow people to easily share scouting information, and to exploit the draft. We should know height, full high school stats, full college stats, everything if this was like the real world. The integrity of the draft must supercede the realism of it in this case, imho

I disagree for obvious reasons. But 6'10''PG is not necessarily a bad thing if he is not clueless overall.

We've been using the D thing in Cleveland since 06 when we got Damon Jones. We called him amon ones. No D and no J.

I agree on the scouting issues. I'd like to see age and/or height for everyone even if I don't scout them, I just feel like that's something that everyone would have even if you never actually sent anyone out to scout that player. I agree on the waste of scouting a 1 star guy twice, what I'd like to see is if you scout 4 guys a week for 14 weeks (56 reports) you get the list of available players at the end of the season and instead of having players already scouted you just click on a random player and expend 1 report, this way you can decide if you want to scout them again, I just think those 2 things might make the process more realistic as a whole, although this is free so it's pretty tough to complain

As stated before, this could make it too easy for leaguemates to collude.

Unfortunately, when it comes to the draft, realism is out the window. It is certainly abstract, but considerably less easy to exploit.
