You're claiming $0 scouting gets the same information as $10k scouting?

You don't understand nothing
But there's a player who spent 10k a week to have the informations,and his scouters made SEVEN second observations about player wuth TWO star rating
There's something wrong in a similar system,it's not simply randomised

If I don't understand nothing, does that mean I understand something?

I didn't claim the system was perfect. YOU know the system is faulty and it affects EVERYONE. So until the BBs fix/change it then the only thing you can do is to take advantage of the system's faults. In my case, I decided not to pay any money for scouting and I ended up having 1 5-star draftee and a few 4-star ones.

I'm sorry for my bad expression
I want to say You don't undertsand nothing of the Newton's discourse
His proposals don't want to reset the value of the money paid for the scouters,but want to increase their values
So,your question was out from every kind of logic.Nevetheless.I badly express me, and I apologize again me of this

Newton claimed that 10k worth of scouting was the same as not scouting in terms of information on draftees. I was talking about that, not his proposal.

no, I am just claiming that the quality of the free information (the one you can see investing zero) is the same that the one you get from scouts.

By reading my league forum and the SerieA forum i found out that:
- (36897) invested $0 and see 3 5 star players.
- (26960) invested $0 and see 3 5 star players.
- (45443) invested $0 and sees "three decent players considering rating and potential".
- (37089) invested $0 and sees 3 5 star players + 4 4 star players.
- (26862) invested $0 and sees 2 5 star players plus several 4 star.

And then I see this poor guy (106339.1).
And then I see my list (with 5k all season): 1 5 star (no second look), 3 4 star (only 1 second look, 19yo B-), 10 3 star, 6 2 star, 2 1 star.

I think there should be a way, that if you see few good players you should have least more chances to scout them twice.

this is even not the same league ;)

In germany we had last season a guy with 20 5 star players, iand yes he invested some money but the quality betwenn leagues could be different as the lottery.

we are not talking about the quality of the draft of a single league...we talk about a general problem,also with a league with a poor quality draft I should know better the best player in that draft(if i Invest some money on scouters),not the worst player in the draft.If i don't invest nothing,it's a strategical choice and however I'll know somesthing,but less in number and quality of observation(a player had seven second ibservations about players with TWO star rating,that's ridicoulous)

the single draft point you get has in average the same quality, but if you had 10 or 20 the prohability to get good information is much higher ;) So i can believe that 32 extra points, aren't better then the 14(?) normal points without investment.

Yes you could have bad luck, and good luck with more payment - but better argue with the average. Not with the extreme cases like Newton do, and if you do it do it at least right, because in the league with 22 good one, the prohability is much higher then in the league with 3(which was the other extreme with 44-47 known drafts last season). In the secnd extreme the known 3 good draft was pretty good, even if the draft itself was a waste.

I would rather differentiate the quality of the draftees according to age (a 5 star 19yo should be better than a 5 star 18yo), but that is a different story.

There have been plenty of suggestions to improve the current system... just to mention a couple of them:
- Make the chance to observe a player for the second time proportional to the star rating (i.e 40% for a 5 star, 30% for a 4 star, 20% for a 3 star and so forth).

These change are right,I hope BBs look it and manage for giving to drafting process finally a good aspect of this game


I would like to piggy back on the idea and prob add on that it will really make more sense that if the second interview be made only if the star rating is 4 balls or higher. My latest draft pick saw 6 players who were mostly 2 balls and below on star rating getting scouted twice.

Why would I be paying a scout $10K a week to have him bring a 1-3 star rating into my gym for a try-out? It really doesn't make sense.
