in-game tactics screen

Is it normal to be able to see the opposition's roles of assigned to players from one team.. and not another?

I played a game against the Blues and was able to see what roles each player was given on the Blues. Next game against the Blackhawks I was not afforded this luxury.

Depends on whether or not you have the coaching (not tactical) advantage, if you have it that lets you see what the opponent is doing so you can make better decisions about responding. Not really thrilled with the mechanics of it right now, it's too all-or-nothing, I'm trying to come up with a better way.

This would be a perfect place for an advance scout. You hire him to have good ability evaluation, and the better he is, the better the information you get. The information also gets better over time.

Would require an option for scouting assignments for 'next opponent' or something, but would really help the immersion factor and break up the all or nothing aspect of it.

Yeah, I had written something similar in the original design document. It'll require some changes to the way the scouting staff (or at least one of them) is handled, but hopefully it can happen.
