Hi, I want to talk to you about a very important bug in the new draft. I know some people who didn´t spend any money in the scouting, and they can view more players than me.

This is not normal, cause with this bug...spending money in scouting is useless. :(
Please, check it.

I think I can confirm this. As far as I can remember, I cut my investment to $0 either before the season or very, very early in the season. I can currently see star ratings for 12 prospects, and potential ratings for 2 of those 12.

since the beginning of the season i've been scouting 2 players a week. i can see game ratings for 28 players and potential for 9 of those players. if there are only 11 weeks in a season, then mine don't add up either.

Keep in mind that scouting input for this draft started before this season, pretty much exactly at the same point of last season where we are now this season. So I think that means 2 weeks of investment from last season (during the playoffs) count towards this draft.

see if i'm doing my math right or if i'm missing something (i'm a political science major so it's very likely that i'm not). including the last two weeks of last season that gives me 13 weeks of scouting at which time i always did 2 players a week without exception. 13*2=26...yet i have 37 pieces of information, which is an odd number to boot. i never changed the scouting to 1 player a week so there shouldn't be an odd number of information.

Yep, sounds right. So, it looks like you have 11 free pieces of information.

I have 14 pieces of information. I can't recall exactly when I cut my investment to 0, but I know I cut it down from $40k/week, which I believe provides 3 pieces of info. So if I did get one week in for this draft (possible), that would be 11 free pieces for me, too.

Edit: Oops, I'm wrong. $40k is 4/wk. Anyway, at most I invested for 3 weeks in this cycle, and I only invested at the $40k (4 players) level. So I'm either getting 2, 6, 10, or 14 free scouting chunks.

Yup, there are 11 free pieces of information. There were free pieces of information last season as well, so this is a feature. Sure, the number 11 is kind of weird, but then again

Scouting for next season starts during the playoffs, so you may have some scouting left over.

I can see 27 prospects plus 7 potentials. Which pretty much matches my scouting effort of 2/week. Maybe a little bit more info, since the season is 14 weeks.

There are 14 weeks in the season. The regular season starts on Saturday at the end of the end of the 1st week of the season. It lasts until Saturday of 12th week (and extra 1.2 week because of the skipped Tuesday before the ASG). And then there are two weeks of playoffs.

There might be a tiny bonus scouting. I have 34 pieces of information, but I can't remember when I switched to 2/week. I might have done it after I actually promoted to D.III.

we give everyone some base level of scouting for those teams which are new and so necessarily could not have scouted all season. We picked the level to not overly disadvantage newer teams and make the draft still fun for them, without making investment in scouting irrelevant.... I hope we are somewhere in that balance.

11 is such an odd number though, how did you come up with it, as opposed to something like 12 or 14?
