do you have the latest patch would be my 1st question? And even if you do did you re-start this "test league" after the patch was installed?
per Markus, the latest patch fixed the feeder league creation Quote:
maybe search the forums also to see if this "HUGE PROBLEM" has been brought up before and if it has been addressed.

I do have the latest patch, and I just started this test league today. I can try requesting scouting reports from each team, I might do that.

There is a HUGE MASSIVE problem with PCMs in this game
I just started using feeder leagues and I have to say I'm not overly happy with the level of player that comes out of there.
Only been 2 drafts but overall, there is very limited hitting talent but a fair amount if pitching talent. |

Been quite happy with mine. I would suggest having more feeders than needed.

I'm rescouting the same one player with every team, and he's invariably rated 20/20 across the board despite OSA insisting he's an 80 potential SP.
Shall I do the same thing for multiple players?

Yes. I have 120 college and 120 high school for a 32 team ML. I did 150/150, but that had more talent than really needed. This is coming in pretty close to the created drafts (star wise) and with much better quality stars (good mix of power/speed type hitters. Power and junk ball pitchers). So, I'd say something close to 6-8 times your ML team numbers.

You have 240 feeder league teams for a 32 team MLB setup? What is your free agent pool looking like? I was using 150 teams and after 5 years I had over 5000 players in the free agent pool. |

Just tested out every player OSA rated 70 or better (like 10 of them), every team rescouts him as a 20 potential. And these are "Excellent" at Amateur talent or better scouts. Again, I've never run into this problem before OOTP14, I'm pretty sure there's something wrong here.

Not that many. Just after the draft there are usually a good many, but by preseason it is not that terrible. And 3/4 of the FA's are half star prospects. When I did 300, there were heaps, and sometimes decent talent there. That's why I switched it this time. I removed 30 off the college level (that was my juco setup) and 30 off high school (that was my international high school league). I also (and you may or may not consider this) added a Extended Rookie league (every team has an affilate, and they play 100 games a season. I also extend the Short A to 100 games). That gives anyone with a semblance of talent a chance to develop. If someone is a free agent, they are most likely not very good at all.

Other team's POV may not be working like you think it does, either. While you may Act As, try selecting their team's scout with all the ratings exposed beyond OVR/POT and I think you'll see a lot of them either remain the same OR just disappear. I'm not certain that commish role entitles you to Act As with all the benefits of the POV. And if you've not selected their scout for the view, then nothing changes because no matter what team you're using, you're still seeing OSA scouting.
Now, if you're really game and want to actually test it, save your game, rename it, and resign from the team, hire on another and look. Do this and you 'may' see a difference. Beyond that, there's the more you see the player, the more you learn. These ratings can look a little different on draft day than day one and they'll refine skills as seasons go by. If it's a first year, the impact of their 'experience' isn't realized as much as you think, either. FWIW Edit: And yes, HUGE MASSIVE is a bit over-reactive. Also not a fan of these thread subjects. Not that it hasn't happened, but those kinds of problems rarely make it to release, let alone by the second patch.

Still, give the game developers a break. I have been playing 14 intensively, and I have seen nothing out of whack with PCM's or the distribution of talent in my draft pools. Someone just looking in to get a feel for game quality will get an unfairly negative impression from such thread title hyperbole.

Thread title and choice of words aside, tejdog1 has something goofy going on with his game and he came here for help, so those who are dismissing him are going against what these boards are all about, which is helping each other enjoy OOTP to its fullest extent. |

How about this, can I see a screenie of some of your guys draft boards? I gotta assume none of you who are in charge of MLB teams are seeing no pots over 40, am i right?
