Problem with scouting mechanism

dtaylor@montereyherald.co · 09-20-2007, 03:07 PM

The OVERALL and POTENTIAL ratings for all of the players in my Out of the Park Baseball game suddenly have disappeared, after six seasons. I'm still getting individual ratings for the various categories of each player in the league, but the Overalls are now just dashes -- unless, of course, I scout them with a specific scout. I have run the re-scout function several times, with no results.
Any idea why this has happened, and how I can fix the problem?

You may - I think the option is still available - want to return to your League Settings and do a Rescout with SISA. While there may still be some players that retain the '--' distinction, it should return results for the majority.

SISA doesn't give an overall or potential score, it just gives the ratings, I believe. It's your scouts that give the overall and potential.... maybe you were looking at one of your scouts scouting reports for the last six years, and he's retired (or left the team for some other reason).

When you first take over the team (I think) it scouts everything for you... then it's your responsibility to keep those ratings up to date etc. If you've not had your scouts scouting the leagues then when your head scout leaves he takes his reports with him and you're left with nothing but SISA.

Yup, SISA gives no POT.
