Scouting Priorities - Nation Unknown

bigdgp2 · 02-21-2022, 08:19 AM

This may be a dumb question, but I want to make sure I'm using priorities correctly. If the Nation selected is [Unknown], will it scout players from ALL nationalities? Or will it only scout players that have "Unknown" set for their nationality?

On the MLB Quickstart, Craig Driver, the base coach on the Cubs, shows an "Unknown" Nationality, and this is what prompted the question.

I thought that was just a marker for a hole in the database, in which case that wouldn't work? Check your players list to see how many that applies to, list all players, then click to sort the nationalities by alpha and it should be easy to see.

This was using a Standard League with current rosters. Your thoughts are shared. I work with databases. While I don't see any players with (Unknown) for Nation, including minor leaguers, I do see this showing for coaches. I'm hoping "Unknown" is a placeholder for any/all. I also do not see a selection available for "Any" or "All" within the scouting priority screen. I'm going to provide a screenshot.

Yeah, in that instance Unknown = All (or don't care, etc...). Just a quirk of re-using the same list box as other nation selections
