I'm not going to scout leagues or countries....I don't want an unfair edge and I don't want to spend forever. Basically, I want to know my players, and scout for trades. Is quick-scout from the trade screen enough?

And...when scouts are on...you still see SISA ratings....waht are they based on? I think w/ scouts off, the SISA ratings are actuals. How about w/ scouts on?
RailSplitter has very good suggestions- hide some of the ratings, and you won't have a huge advantage. Lower the ratings resolution as well for a greater challenge (to '1 to 5' instead of '1 to 100', for example).

If you use scouts, you could restrict yourself to quickscouting- this ensures your scouting reports aren't very reliable, and doesn't require much micromanagement. The scouting tasklists take the effort out of scouting- set one guy to scout your organization constantly, one guy to scout your league constantly, and use quickscouts when trading for minor leaguers, and you won't spend much time on scouting at all. Scouting nations will be pointless with this set; hidden players are disabled. SISA ratings, with scouts on, are just normal scouting ratings, but by really bad scouts. They're not the real ratings, and are less reliable than the reports you'll get from your scouts. For a real challenge, fire all your scouts and just use the SISA ratings...
