Hey guys...

Does anybody know if bots invest in scouting? If yes how much? Im just wondering because if i knew what bots invest i could figure out if my opposing manager invest and how much. And by the way do bots count to the "league averages from last week" (found under economy) or not? Or is it only the active managers?

Thanks for help!

Bots always draft randomly.

And if there is only one other human manager, as long as you find a few decent prospects, you're likely to get one of your three top choices.

my suggestion would be to spend the 10 points on the scouting combine, and that lets you put all the 18 year olds at the top. Next, count the 18 year olds who have 1 or 2 grey skill estimates. IF there are more than 10, you can do the group demonstration, and you'll learn their orange skill balls, position, and box score (if there are 10 or less such 18 yos, I usually skipt the demo). Then, depending on if you are going to train guards or big men, you can scout the 18 year olds who have the appropriate heights. Once you have some guys who have 4-5 skill balls, you can choose to interview a few, to make sure they have acceptable potential.

I have a question, is it recommended to scout drafts for 10k < when you plan to win the league and all of the league's members are bots, except me?

I think it's definitely still worth it. It's still a bit of a chance that you don't get your top choice, but since the bots draft randomly, you will likely get one of your top 3 choices. I have gotten 2 great and 1 very good draft picks with the 13th, 16th and 15th spots. And in all those seasons I was in leagues with multiple other owners, not complete bots.

I think in Your situation is checking how many bots You have in league, becouse in 5th there is high possibility that no one gives for scouting or they do not know how to use this points and You can pick You want, In higher leagues is different.

Yes, draft picks are always based on regular season record.
