Go to Game -- Game Setup -- and under Game Options check the box next to Use Complete Scouting System. This file is setup to work with scouts as well unlike previous versions.

Mike -- you should just have to have the MLB enabled to do it. I did that and had no problems like we had before (disappearing players).

I'm done with the NL completely re-rating the top prospects, killing the ratings of guys who aren't even prospects (but who were rated too well), and deleting some of the fake players. They aren't all gone, but anyone who is remotely good in the previous set and is fake is gone. I also changed the Canadian players to be from Canada (), added roster moves, changed the photos of guys on new teams (Silva, etc.) and re-rated some of the guys who were overrated like Jack Cust.

I think after this version, the final version will be focused on fine-tuning the MLB and AAA ratings for players as most of them are based on just one year. I'm not sure what I'm going to use, but probably a combination of career averages, and the last three years of performance, possibly with PECOTA tossed in as well for MLB guys (I hate using PECOTA for young guys, it usually is off).

Not sure on a time table, but I have the entire NL done with prospects, and I just have five more teams to do in the AL. After that I'm going to just touch up a few things, re-rate some of the FA's who are too good, play around with salary demands for FA's just a tad, and release the file.
