Irrelevant to your usage, it is still the most simple of any information which can be discovered by scouting. I'm not suggesting this for your sake or anyone else's, I'm suggesting it because a scout would be far quicker to realize a natural position than to be able to give estimated starts AT that position, let alone a letter grade.

If this is not the case the only value the stars would have would be 'natural talent' for basketball in general. A 5 star Center isn't the same as a 5 star PG due to different skills, so when I see a number of starts it has to be assumed that logically that scout knows the position. Sure, maybe the scout won't know the SG from the PG or the PF from the C depending on the game style at times, but to know if the player is front court or back court MUST be determined before a player can be appropriately 'starred'. This is independent of your need for information, and usefulness to your, or any other club, wasn't a consideration when I brought it up.

The reason it is better is that you know that a 10 star scout can be programmed to give all the positions and other information as well as look at a player numerous times to get an accurate value of the players as a 1 star scout will go out and stare at a game and base potential on that game alone and give you random information on all of the players.

If you dont see a difference than we should get rid of all the staff as well because if you have ever been on or around a proffesional team than you would know that a scout is as important as anyone else. Also you can add into scouting thathe can scout players on other team or the other team to try and get an advantage like profeesional teams do.

The idea behind these game is to make them as realistic as possible. Then have a scout who can do his job proerly.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
