- For whatever reason, even if it's the same scout working for me, the majority of player's scouting reports have an accuracy of "Low" or "Average" - hardly anyone has "High" or "Very High" unless they're on your own team.
That first one is pretty frustrating. And the second one is making it hard to know what to go after in free agency (although I can still reference my scout's last "Very High" accuracy scouting report on the player's history.
Just wanted to let people know what to expect when they eventually do this. |
Thanks for the information.
One thought I had was to change the birth year of my current manager. He is 89, so move his birth year 40 years and he becomes 49 again.
The option is there on your manager>manager options. I don't think it could/would cause any issues other than suspending reality. I'm not entirely sure how I would feel about actually doing it, but it is a solo game.
As an 89 yr old GM I am legendary. I wouldn't be too excited about going back to "unproven". It would be much better when creating a new manager in a solo game you could select your reputation. If I created a new 45 yr old GM I wouldn't select legendary, but it would be nice to be able to be something more like veteran (no idea what all of the categories are). I GM my Cubs and I'm pretty sure if they go for a new GM it's not going to be an unproven one. Carter Hawkins had about 15 years of front office experience and has Jed Hoyer as his boss. I don't think players the Cubs approach are worried too much about the front office. (writing this helps me justify anything I might to in my OOTP universe)
It's all good info to have and I'm glad you started the topic. Whatever I end up doing I won't go in blind.
