IMO favor ability scouts are just bad. I would rather have a scout with poor ratings and highly favor tools, than a legendary highly favor ability scout. It's a big reason why I've turned scouting off in my league. Favor ability scouts are fine (but no better) scouting minor/major leagues, but are really bad at scouting the amateur draft which is imo more important. For minor/major league players stuff like stats, the prospect pipeline, and the top 100 prospect list can help you a lot but in the draft you've really got nothing without scouting.

Favor tools tend to overrate and yes favor ability tends to underrate. Favor ability likes players whose current ratings are close to their potential ratings. Tools will tend to overrate players that have a large gap between current and potential. Tools may seem accurate vs 100% accuracy but keep in mind that players will not reach their full potential 100% of the time. Ability scouts represent the safe pick and favor what a player can do now. Tools like raw talent and base their ratings on max development. This is why in the pics you posted favor tools had a bunch RP & CL at the top of the list. 100% accuracy also have the same RP & CL but the game artificially boosts OVR/POT at those positions. Ability scout doesn't have this problem because it values skill. Last edited by SirMichaelJordan; 04-02-2020 at 09:05 PM. |

an 80 RP/CL is not the same as a 80 SP There are 9 CL/RP on the favor tools page and 5 CL/RP on the ability page. Last edited by SirMichaelJordan; 04-02-2020 at 09:12 PM. |

Still though, do you think 100% accurate ratings overrate prospects? Because strongly favor tools scouts are in fact slightly more pessimistic than the 100% accurate are. |

Wait why is OSA so accurate when it comes to the draft? I thought they caught that bug and it was fixed in XX.
I mean OSA looks close to 100% accurate. Might as well not put any money into the draft go with OSA for the draft and use your money elsewhere. |

They are not accurate - they're off by an average of just under 5 potential points (on the 20-80 scale) per player. They are however unbiased. If you look closely the players rated highest by OSA are not the same as the players rated highest by 100% accurate scouts.

I mean the point of getting a good scout and a high budget is usually to do really good at the draft. But if you can save a bucket load of money and just go with osa for the draft. isn't that looking like a really good option. should even a bad scout and low budget be significantly better than OSA? or what's the point of scouting then Last edited by jimmysthebestcop; 04-02-2020 at 10:42 PM. |

Yea the mock draft is a good indicator on who the top prospects are.
Don’t sort the draft pool by POT and think that’s a makeshift top prospect list. Use the mock draft and take opinions from your scout and compared them with OSA. Last edited by SirMichaelJordan; 04-03-2020 at 11:03 AM. |

It only makes sense that a "favors ability" scout would be horrible at the draft. Hasn't it been known for at least a few years that "favors ability" scouts want players with less projection and ratings that are as close to the player's potential as possible? The draft is nothing but projection. and there's no need to mess with that bc the draft is a projection filled crap shoot
