SCOUTING BUDGET SIM!!!!!

[Ryan]

Yep, but they're HS or Col affiliated stats.

Again, take it all with a grain of salt. Can only say its my opinion and how I operate.

Yeah, thats a tough one.

I asked Andrew this specific question a season or two ago and IIRC he indicated that no team should spend any $$ on Intl Scouting since we don't use Intl Leagues. I've not spent a dime on it since then. I'd wait for Andrew to confirm that once again, but that's the belief I've been operating under.

Yep. I do the same.

Same for Pawtucket. Was set that way when I joined and havent adjusted since.

[Delandis]

Wow. I've been wasting money on scouting for a while now.

[Clay]

Wow. I've been wasting money on scouting for a while now.

Based on the way people draft around here, so have a lot of people.

I really wonder what the difference between a 2500000 and 7500000 scouting budget really means. As in, how much of a difference does it make in your scouting reports?

I tried to send you the answer to your question via PM, but your mail box is full. Now you'll never know.

[Matt]

Please send it to me! My mailbox has open arms.

Sucker!!!


Just kidding, this is correct. My understanding is that the international scouting budget is strictly for the hidden international players feature, which we have disabled.

Amateur scouting budget covers everyone in the draft, foreign and domestic.

[Jistic]

That is correct.

And it also seems like the max budget is $12,500,000.

[BradZ]

That is correct.

Actually I think it differs by team? Everyone should double check to make sure their changes hold. I have a certain threshold considerably < $12.5mil that if I exceed it autocorrects my budgeted amount to $1.25mil.

[Delandis]

My max is 12.5 mil.

[Lintyfresh85]

I always thought max scouting was the amount you have in budget space.

If I knew how to do those quick test like the guys on the OOTP forums... I'd run and re-run season after season spending different amounts to see how accurate the ratings are at each money threshold.

As is, I just throw a lot of money at it... and hope it fixes the problem.

CRAP! I knew I should have kicked my kids off the Mac before yesterday's sim to check for an answer to my question. I just wasted 30% of my scouting budget on international scouting. I looked it up in the "Help" feature but it wasn't, well, helpful.
