I got this from the manual



So that clears up the first few ratings, but I'm curious about a few of the others.

These all range from Very Low to Very High

1. Drafting - does Very Low mean he doesn't use the draft much as tool for building a team? Does Very High mean he believes in building a team through the draft?

2. Int Amm FA - again, Very Low - does that mean he doesn't place much value in int players and won't spend much on Scouting in that area? Does Very High mean the opposite?

3. Dev Preference - is this an indication of how he develops players, Very Low he doesn't let them spend much time in the minors, sort of rushes them along? Very High he believes in fully developing a player before promoting him to the show?

4. Scouting Preference - not sure on this one. Does Very Low mean he doesn't value his Scout's opinion much, and Very High means he places a great deal of importance on his Scouts opinion?

Thanks for any feedback, much appreciated.

I believe these preferences play a part in the deciding of the allocation of budgetary monies to those particular line items. I have not tested this but it makes sense they would include something like this in the code to be one of the ways to determine this. Just my thoughts over the years.

Just to add. Most staff members (including owners) have these preferences. I believe they have them if they are ever placed in the general manager position. Of course the owner would never be, but sometimes the owner takes charge of budgetary concerns if he is meddling and will need these preferences to be able to properly make those changes.
