When this happens, you will have a chance to sign the player before any other team.

This "hidden player" feature is an option that can be enabled or disabled during game creation in the Player Options section of the Game Options page. After a game has been created, you can adjust it by navigating to OOTP Menu >> Game Setup >> Player & Picture Options.

If hidden players are disabled, you can still scout internationally, but you will only receive individual scouting reports, and will not be able to find hidden players."



How to parse this paragraph? It's vague because "scouting internationally" can be taken as general scouting outside your country or it can mean using the international scouting budget. Personally, given the context and the preceding sentence, I think it's the latter. So I disagree that discoveries are scouted as amateurs. If someone can point to some authority (manual or Dev post) that states they are scouted as amateurs I will happily agree and apologize.

what he is saying, is this no longer appears to be the case,
