Scouting in online league

In an online game, if you sign a coach/scout he will join your team immediately , but if 2 players sign the same coach, then you have to check the next sim to see if you really got the guy. I read somewhere that the game decides ties by giving the coach/scout to the team with the lowest ID number. Is that true?

I suppose only Markus could say for sure exactly, but I don't think this is the case. I've gotten coaches/scouts in my online league before that other teams also offered jobs to that didn't seem to have anything to do with team ID.

Unfortunately, if it's not Team ID, then it's something else. In an online league I was in, we did some testing on this and found no rhyme or reason. It certainly wasn't to a team with the best offer. The way coaches/scouts are hired in game is broken, IMO. It should be handled like players, but it's not. So, your not seeing a bug that'll be fixed in this version, this is how it's been since release.
