Hope that makes sense. It is common for a drop in OVR/POT when there is no drop in ratings.

I'm concerned about contract negotiations in the future. I assume the stars would let me know the player has an upside or not. Thus whether I should keep him, give in to his contract demands, cut bait, etc. It appears I cannot use that as a guide. |

Usually they will stay there until they are 18 or so, at which point you put them on one of your rosters (or cut them if they suck)....

They usually do, it is a mirror of real life.

Agreed, there are part of reality I do not want simulated.

What purpose does asking the scout director for a report on a player serve? It seems it's the same info available without asking him for a report. And what benefit comes from having a high class one?

Also, any thing I should know about spring training? Do you play everyone on your 40 man roster? Does it hurt or help development? Can it hurt or help development? |

Noob w/newbie questions
Regarding the scouts, some people have their leagues only generate scouting reports at the end of year. If you have your league set up that way, and you want to trade for a player, you might want to ask for a scouting report, so that you will have an updated report to look at when you decide whether to trade for that player or not. If your league scouts players monthly, there probably isn't much value in asking for an updated report.
Better scouts are likely to be more accurate over the long run, although of course just like real life, there isn't a great way to know which ones are the best scouts, so you really can only rely on reputation. Players coming into spring-training have a certain amount of rust. So yes, you should definitely get all of your players some at-bats and some innings to pitch, to shake off that rust. Players also develop new skills the most quickly during spring training, so this is the ideal time to play a player at a new position if you want them to learn a different position. Players who are getting playing time always develop more quickly than players who are not.

Does popularity ever change? I've got a pitcher who won the Cy Young but he's still nationally unknown & insignificant locally. But I traded my injury-prone starting LF who has hit .227 in the last 2 years & my fan interest dropped.

Do I need to hire an assistant GM or bench coach if I'm MGR & GM?
Can fan loyalty change? |

The assistant GM will take control of the things in the Team Control options that you don't want to deal with (minor league promotions/demotions, for instance). So, again, if you control all those things you don't need one. If you don't have one but don't control everything, not sure who does it. Presumably just Generic AI Guy. Quote:

Loyalty is weird. It has some kind of multiplier. It is more complicated than just a straight bump up if you win and down if you lose.
You can win but make so many moves that loyalty takes a hit. Stability plays a role. You may have been behind the 8 ball and so the increase is really slow. Keep winning and try to keep the ML roster somewhat stable and you will eventually have an insane loyalty.

Fan Interest or Loyalty boost?
Are your season ticket sales increasing with each winning season?
