Guess we'll just have to see if that is acknowledged and adjusted at some point.

Hey Lukas.....do you anticipate this would be the type of fix/adjustment requiring the start of a new save to take effect, or do you think an established league would be OK?

Being scouting related, I'd think any changes here would work with games already in progress. But that's just an educated guess, not a promise.

If you switch to a scout that favors tools, you'll probably see more of the kind of spread you're looking for.

Sorry but the example I just gave you is for a scout that "highly favors tools". Also saying "tend" indicates to me that you don't yet understand the magnitude of the issue.

In my sim its making the game unplayable even with the best scout in the league.

FYI OSA has the same issue in my sim as well.

Right, that was my thought also....I just thought since it may affect the pre-made draft classes, it might be a potential issue.

I'm perfectly happy with the way the game is now, and would also caution against going too far in the other direction where several pitchers in each draft class are getting 60+ potential.

Heck, if you want to make it plausible as to why all scouts in the universe seem to have better precision on hitters than pitchers, chalk it up to not knowing what the ball and sticky stuff rules will be 2-3 years down the road which makes it harder to project pitching performance.
