Any way to stop the annoying personal messages from scout?

CanadaCajanek21 · 04-12-2013, 08:46 PM

The new international system is pretty cool, but I am SICK of getting personal messages almost every day for some player he unearthed. They have not once had a higher potential than 1 star, and are usually 0.5 star potential. It's fine if he finds these guys and they get placed there, but do I have to have my game stop me every day for him to tell me? I've tried to turn all the possible emails but you can't turn off personal messages as a whole, and that's how they come up. And I have my scouting set to 50% international, which according to the description means they should find some better players- but nope, all 0.5 stars mostly....so I'd just prefer to not be told this. Pleeeease someone tell me there's a way to get around this notification!

Manager options all the way down on the left side. The "stop auto-play" settings.

Although it could be a cool idea to have an option to stop when scout finds a player with x amount of stars.

But I'm not using auto-play, I just usually play a couple games in a row, then sim a few. So I'm still manually hitting the green check mark after each game.

Well those players are also not scouted very well so that .5 star prospect could in fact be a 5 star prospect but your scout hasn't seen him enough to see it. It can also go the other way where your scout finds a 5-star prospect guy who is really only a 1 or .5 star guy simply because your scout hasn't really seen him.

I "cheat" and have scouting set to 100% accuracy. So while that player may go from some unknown 16 year old from the D.R and have a great season and become a 4 star prospect in a year or two, from the get-go, he's accurately rated.

You are right. My scout inundates me with absolute garbage players on almost a daily basis.

For the purposes of OOTP, every time you advance to the next day, you are in "auto-play" mode...

Just do what I said and see if it works (it will), instead of being stubborn. (Sorry if that's harsh, but you haven't indicated that you tried what I suggested.)

That why I asked Markus about giving us the option to put in a "Slap the scout" button. And it's in there, buried deep in code.

Like most scouts are buried deep in paperwork on useless players.
