You can buy up to 56 points a season - 14 x 4


And points do not "carry over" from one season to the next, correct? If you don't spend them, they're gone?



That is correct.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I'm inclined to agree with you, and that the limit should then be 96 points instead of 56.

Though why anyone would want to scout a 1* or 2* player twice is beyond me.


That's the idea - you wont be able to scout everyone fully, so you'll need to select where to direct your resources.

Also remember you'll be able to pay to "attend" the combine and get all the player's age/height.

Remember that the players will be ranked in order, so that can be helpful.

I'm going to need you to clarify that last line a bit.


From the News:

At the start of each season (for Season 13, later in the season) the draft page will be available with a set of baseline rankings. These rankings are done based upon your coaching staff's very rough assessment of the talent of the player, based on a combination of the current skills and the talent of each player, but as in real life, the ranking will be imperfect, and some players will even be ranked very inaccurately. You will have to invest further in scouting these players to find some hidden gems and expose some talent for being over-hyped. Each team will have its own baseline rankings, but the amount of uncertainty in each set of rankings will be the same.

Is everyone's rough list in the same order?

Re-read the last line (and yes, I'm being snarky on a non-official level dammit)

I don't think you're going to fit in very well here.

Yeah, I read that. It was the "in order" part I wanted you to clarify (I think Hambone VT is asking for the same clarity). What sort of order?

They'll be in order of quality from best to worst, but the rankings will be imperfect - not scouting at all and relying solely on the baseline rankings will leave you somewhat blind.

Ah. And I'm assuming that each team will have the same player(s) ranked a bit differently by the scouts, to prevent collusion?
