Would surprise me if it is not ready in some hours. Probably just that your country is later in the update process than mine. I think that they do update according to in what order your country was implemented and Sweden was already season 1 while Austria probably was season 2.

The rest of the season you are paying for next seasons scouting. So the money you chose to invest on scouting now will not help you this season.

I feel sorry for you in a way, but I spent an average of 30K a week until this season and I have not got 1 very good draftee yet. This season I spent 30K TOTAL (3 weeks with 10K) and 2 out of the 3 that were scouted twice is 5 stars, A and A-, 2 and 3 star potential. Some TO's but perhaps I get lucky this year around, since I had such a bad season. I had believed that I would do better, or I will have invested more weeks with 10K. But I don't see the point of investing 40K unless I am certain to finish 7th or 8th in my conference. Or if I have a lot of money and no idea on what to spend them on... It would be fun to train a very good NT prospect though...

This must be something wrong? Are we done scouting this season?
Jepp, and you can find your list via (Norsk) Regler -> Draften og der er draftredigering. Good luck!

Older than the rest ...

I have 7 players with 2 stars scouted twice and 2 with one star scouted twice. None with 5 stars... Must be a joke.


Well you don't have to draft those. At least you know who not to draft. I went totally blind 2 seasons ago with a similar situation and accidentally hit the jackpot then.

to me:

- 29 reported
- 5 balls: 5, none with second report
- 4 balls: 6, 1 with second report
- 3 balls: 9, 2 with second report
- 2 balls: 8, 7 (seven!) with second report
- 1 ball: 1 (luckily...)

I posted a proposal in BB-Italy forum, suggesting to introduce a weight for a second look based on the results of first. I don't think anybody but a noob will put a 1 ball on top of a list, even with A+/5 balls out of second report. If you want details, I can translate it: an ease (?) improvement that will keep principles (when you draft, you bet in some sense) but reduce them and increase managerial control.

Let me add that I drafted 3 times with good/very good results, so I cannot say I am unsatisfied. But a managerial game should have some random and something realistic: that's unrealistic (or some NBA team will sink soon ).

but in this case you had to rebalance the points and maybe reduce it, maybe a total new system would better or stay with the old one which works at least ;)

that always depends on how the engine is written, I can just figure out.

A new system designed from scratch requires a long analysis. This sort of patch, although complex, would not much change current practices.

A thing that works is not enough to me. This is a BB point of view too, otherwise the old GE would have never been changed. And that change is far more complex than this one.

To me, better to reduce the number of observees but have more quality than having this sort of lottery. I can understand that the number of 5- or 1-balls depend on lucky, as in RL, but paying for things I don't need (why massively spending for second observation on players that will never ever be part of the game?) is a nonsense in a managerial game. IMHO.
