Other than that, v.16 plays just about the same as v.8, but v.16 has a ton of improvements that make it a vastly superior experience. Sorta' like the difference between baseball in 1871 and baseball today. Same basic game, but better.
That is one of those things that I couldn't remember but made a major difference between the old versions and new. The way that scouting system was implemented was just a major chore to try and use. I wouldn't mind if OOTP found a way to implement a multi-scout system again, but the way that version operated removing the feature from the game was a huge addition by subtraction.
