Suggestion: Expand "Scouting Director's Recommendation" in single-player drafts

hjrrockies · 04-19-2020, 08:46 PM

One of the features I like in online leagues is the draft list. Even when using StatsPlus to manually draft, the draft list gives me my scout's ranking of the draft pool.

In single-player games, the lack of the draft list feature means I only get to see my scout's top player available for each pick. Often, I will not want to draft this player (perhaps due to signing bonus demands). This means I can have several rounds in a row where my scout's recommendation isn't useful to me, until some other team takes that player.

I think a nice middle-ground for single player leagues would be to show the scout's top-X (where X is say five or ten) available players in order. This gives me a little more information to work with, which is in line with the overall improvements to scouting/drafting/prospecting in OOTP 21.

In version 21 you can see the scout recommendation for each position to see different options from your scout.

This is news to me! This basically does it. Thanks!

and in the event you've never tried, it is not uncommon to ask the scout again- at times it requires persistence -and he may suggest an alternative. FWIW
