Scout Feature Question

[dimjulskur]

I have been reading a few of the tester and member blogs focused on the new scouting system... Since scouts have ratings... as well as levels (e.g. Head Scout, Supporting Scouts)... what I could not find and answer to is whether the scout levels grant that scount some higher level of ability to more accurately assess players... For example,

Which scout would you go with in the following scenario:

Head Scount - Hitting assess rating of 75
Supporting Scount - Hitting assess ragint of 80

The supporting scout has a lower hitting assess rating, but he is the head scout so does he have a higher probability of accurately assessing a hitter?

No, the ratings are absolute, in a sense. The one with the 80 is a better scout (albeit marginally). If you feel he's got a better success rate, promote him to the head scouting spot.

However, you also have to take into account a scout's preferences. Scouts have distinct preferences, such as favoring power over speed. The result is, two scouts with a 75 scout hitting rating might "rate" a player differently based on their preferences.

thanks for the reply.... so based on your comment am I to read that the designation of Head Scount is meaningless all else being equal, correct?
thanks again

Well, no more meaningless than in real life.

It will probably matter in what you are paying them and how happy they are in their job, but it won't effect how well they scout players.
