I just want to say I am not stating that the scouting system is completely messed up or something of that sort, I think it has improved in general. However the way the initial scouting ratings are being calculated makes the inaugural draft very difficult to conduct with scouting enabled. I understand that I could disable scouting for the draft and enable it afterwards, but I prefer to have at least some variability instead of seeing the exact ratings for each player (Especially for prospect picks in the inaugural draft where the skill and preferences of your scout dictate who you choose), and if it is possible would love to see the initial scout ratings calculation improved.
