I wish a person knew for sure how good their scouts are. I been looking at trading block way one person's scout sees a player and yours sees a player. I have seen as much as 7 points up and down from way another team sees a player. Something else I have noticed is example last season when I traded QB Mandel. Soon as I traded him my scouts saw his value if I remember correct about 7 points less he dropped from mid 50's to high 40's. Why all these differences ? I just don't understand that.

I saw the same drop in Mandel after he was traded, but this year he rebounded back up to 52 according to my scouts. I agree that it'd be nice if the scouting was developed a bit more.

By going to View Staff in the Roster Commands window you can click on team to do a sort and look at all of your staff members Scoting Ability bar. You can look at the 0/25/50/75/100 points along the bar and come up with a rating for each staff member. Then you can average them out.Originally posted by irabowman View Post
The current league scout (Oliver Shepherd) has a Scouting Ability bar that looks to be about 11 or 12, meaning his ratings are very unreliable.
This discrepancy is what makes your staff's Scouting Ability bar so important. I think I read on FOFC that the scouting ratings difference can be as large as 40 points between different scouts.Originally posted by irabowman View Post
I am not sure why but I have experienced my scouts giving an artificial one or two point ratings boost to players on my roster. I don't know the reason for this.Originally posted by irabowman View PostComment

Yes, there is a reason why I usually use the league scout in my trade blocks. I don't want to give away my scout's view.
Even good scouts can be a bit off on players. I would say a great scout can't be more than 20 points off, though. A really bad scout could be off by 40+ every now and then.
So a great scout could see a mega stud as just really good, while a bad scout could see a mega stud as roster filler.Comment
