Missing Scouts

mmarra82 · 12-23-2016, 07:44 PM

Have ventured to try and re-create a historical season, using 2014. Loaded the game and none of the teams have scouts.

Also, a lot of the contracts look in accurate.

Any suggestions?

do you have scouting enabled? from the manual:

Playing with Scouting Off
"Scouting in OOTP is optional. You can turn off scouting during the game creation process in the Game Options. After a game has been started, you can turn off scouting by navigating to OOTP Menu >> Game Setup >> Global Setup tab. If scouting is disabled, you will not have a scouting director or a scouting budget. However, OSA will still provide scouting reports on players. Player ratings shown on lists of players will be the actual ratings for all players. Additionally, the various scouting action menus and drop-downs will no longer be available."

Once you enable scouting, if you are Gm - you will need to hire a scout. The game should do it automatically for other teams. Hope this helps.

Got it...missed the scouting while setting the league in advanced settings.
