Scouting budget

Is there anyway to force the owner to increase your scouting budget? He gives me lots of money for extensions and FA but a lousy $2,000,000 for scouting. The league average is $4,000,000. I would love to be able to explore more than one off shore source for talent, but I can't find a place to change that even in commissioner mode.

You control the scouting budget yourself. Go to the Scouting & Personnel. There you can set the budget, allocate the national scouting money, and coordinate spending for international scouting.

A couple of caveats: First, you can only change these allocations during the preseason. Second, these funds come out of your regular budget, so you can only increase funding for scouting activities if you haven't already spent the money on other things -- like player salaries and coaching salaries. Also, if you are utilizing the amateur draft you need to reserve funds for that purpose.

If you overspend in other areas, the financial structure in the game won't allow you to increase spending for scouting. In fact, it will cut you scouting budget to half of your league average to help force you to stay in budget. It sounds like that's what has happened to you.

When you say coordinate spending for International scouting then does this mean I can't adjust the budget set for that? In my league it is already determined for me without the option to change the amount. I can only change the National Scouting Budget. And where did it come up with this figure. See my example below.

I set my National Average Scouting Budget at $5M in the league options.

In the game, my team has an adjustable National Scouting Budget initially set at $5M BUT, my International Scouting Budget is set at $6M (I can't change this). Thats $11M!

PS: Never mind I figured it out. You change the budget by selecting the countries you want to scout. duh
