I think I'm somewhere in the middle of the spectrum of opinion. I like the new scouting system, especially the ability to prioritize your areas of focus, but I have found that sometimes the inaccuracies are flabbergasting, and not just in the initial inaugural draft. Perhaps a patch will find a nice middle ground.

The one thing that does bother me is that the computer seems to "see through" the scouting inequities. In my current test league, a guy who's real ratings clearly made him the best hitter in the draft was rated by my scout (highest possible ratings, 10million scouting budget, 41% amateur scouting) as a 4.5 star player. Not such a bad thing right? I'd agree. Scouts sometimes are a bit off on players. So far, so good......

The computer then drafted the stud #1 overall, right where he should go. BUT I switched to a human manager for that team to see how they had him rated, their scout I think was above average across the board, but their budget was tiny, 1,000,000 for scouting, and they had him rated as a 3 star player. yet they took him first overall. THAT ticked me off. the AI saw right through their own crappy scouting and picked the best player available. I wonder if this has been seen by anyone else.
