Hah I use basically the opposite, and still at times struggle. That could be a lack of competence on my part, or because I cannot resist struggling teams.

To me, playing with no coaching and particularly with no scouting is playing blind, or random. Remember the AI gets to take advantage of both, as well. And, if you find you are fleecing the AI in trades, you either need a house rule for bad deals (in the words of Justice Stewart on pornography, “I know it when I see it”), or move that trade difficulty slider to hard. Or both, preferably.

I have never had a credible explanation of the 20-80 scouting ratings, and a truncated system makes no sense to me, so I use 0-100. I grew up with decimals, so it seems natural.
