I can comment a bit about this, but right now, no one knows yet exactly how Markus has implemented the international scouting stuff besides Markus himself! But you will definitely have control over which parts of the world you scout, and you'll need to make decisions about how to allocate your budget - hopefully more interesting than the decisions you need to make in OOTP13, where most people probably just scout everywhere good, since it's so useful. There's more to it than that obviously, but we'll all need to wait a while to find out just how much more.

The 'international complex' itself is, at least as I proposed it, just a separate minor league 'team' that doesn't play any games. At least for now it's not intended to emulate, say, the Dominican Summer League, as someone suggested/asked in another thread, though I suppose it could be expanded to that purpose in the future (doing that properly is apparently quite a bit of work, and while I know it's on the radar, I have no idea if there's a chance we see that in OOTP14). The reason for a new minor league 'international complex' roster is this: right now, if you're simming and find a hidden player, your sim first stops when your scout finds the player; then you have to click on the player profile, open up a contract negotiation, change the contract demand to a minor league contract, submit the offer, sim ahead, have your sim stop when the player says he likes your offer, sim ahead again, and finally have the sim stop when the player agrees to your offer. That's 3 sim interruptions and 10 mouse clicks, and I think every OOTP GM signs these players automatically, so it's all unnecessary. Instead, these players can just be signed automatically, and your scout can send you an email summary of the players he signed for you. The players can be dropped in the 'international complex' roster and you can decide at your convenience when to assign them to your real minors. So it's meant to make the entire international signing system more convenient for GMs.
