New Scouting Changes - Big Differences
It’s more of a question but how does the new scouting system affect and implement into the game?
I can see the Scouting Accuracy stat. Does that mean I’m supposed to do more manual scouting? Or how should I approach utilizing the new scouting system properly? I’ve read a little bit about it. But frankly just a little confused on how to use it efficiently. I’ve played the last few games so I’m familiar on how it worked before this year. Just curious on how the changes affect it. Thanks in advance for any feedback |

Probably too much to ask for as everybody would be busy actually playing the game but if someone could write a somehow detailed breakdown of the biggest changes that'd be nice so we know what to expect (at least those of us getting the game this weekend).

Sounds good to me. I added the last scouted and scouting accuracy columns to the default view so it makes it easier for me to see who I need to scout more. |

Yes, I have the same question. For example, there are hundreds of draft eligible players every year. Do I have to manually go to each one and set my scout to report to me? That seems crazy, plus I don't even think there's enough time to do that between opening day and the draft if he did nothing BUT scouting amateurs.

Related question, but I usually never manually set budgets when I'm playing as the GM, but with the extra emphasis on scouting I would like to be able to pour as much money into scouting as I want. Am I able to reallocate my funds in a way that will allow to have more money to spend on scouting, and less on the payroll? It might be a weird question because most would probably want to spend as much on payroll as possible, but I am going to start up with the Pirates whent he full games come out, and they don't spend much at all, and the way OOTP works, payrolls will usually always go up (I've seen Tampa end up as one of the top-5 payrolls in the sport) and I want part of the challenge of playing with the Pirates to be having to work around a small payroll. If the game is going to give me more money anyway, I would want to be able to pour it into scouting

Right.. and you have OSA for a general idea. I use my scout mainly for that top level report for a player I'm on the fence about offering a contract extension, stuff like that.
