Scouting foreign players

FNC · 07-14-2007, 06:35 PM

I have 4 of my scouts doing their thing out of the country at:

Dominican Republic, China, Japan, Mexico

120 games into my season I have gotten 2 players. One was a potential 59/80 which is fine and the other was a 20/80.

I have not heard a peep out of the other 2 scouts.

Is something wrong?

Nothing wrong- it often takes a long time, sometimes a year or more, before you see results from international scouting. It seems that when the scouts start to find people, they find a few of them, so six months from now, your Dominican scout might discover 4 or 5 guys in a three month period. Things seem to work that way in my game, but maybe I'm just imagining things.

Purely random from what I can tell. I'll go months without a scout finding someone in a country, but there are times when the scout (same or different one) finds 4-5 star prospects within days of being assigned to scout a nation.

I assigned my head scout Cuba and the very next day he uncovered a player, albeit a 23/80 MR who was 28 years old.

You just never know what kind of talent level you will get, and how long it will take.
