I for one am considering the whole accuracy "rating" way too "gamey" for my taste. IMO accuracy should be much more organized in that there should be a date attached to each scouting report, and as the report gets older, it may or may not be less reliable. (especially with younger players and prospects). I don't see the need for an "accuracy rating"...after all, it is the job of the GM to figure this out.

Also...the scouting reports just seem way too random for me. I wish there a way or system the developers cold devise which made a little more sense of things. I have always thought there should be a scout for each scouting category (international, minors, amateur, MLB etc...

Any thoughts?

I agree with you on accuracy rating being gamey and it also proved to be confusing to some people.

The concept should stay but the rating should go. The older the scouting report, the less accurate it should be. Simple imo.

Knowing if your scouting report is 100% accurate or close to it should be reflected in the written report. That would also add immersion.

A vets written report would use words of confidence (will, is, are, etc) while a young prospect’s report would use words of uncertainty (can, could, maybe, etc) until they are Atleast scouted enough.
