Scouting "Duration"

TomVeal · 04-06-2021, 12:51 PM

The Scout Task List includes a column headed "Approximate Duration". Intuitively, that ought to be how much time will elapse before one can expect a report on the player, yet reports usually appear much more quickly. Often I'll request a scouting report one day and receive it the next. Is this a bug, or does "duration" have a nonintuitive meaning, or is there some other explanation of the anomaly?

I have noticed this also...this was not the case in version 21

I just did a test. I put 70 players on my scouts list, all of which were listed with a duration of either "one week" or "1-2 weeks." The whole list was completed in 3 days.

I feel like this feature could use some explanation. It was this way in 21 as well.

I'd like to bring this issue back to the forefront, so I am giving this thread a bump.

I haven't kept records on this, but it seems when I max out my scouting budget, the reports come in faster, and I can get "very high" accuracy in a shorter period of time. Perhaps there is a monetary correlation.
