Off topic: Can anyone explain what happens if you use Scouting combine and Group Demonstration for the draft.

Scouting Combine: Every player in the upcoming draft class will show up to be measured. You can send a scout to the combine to learn the ages and heights of all 48 players in the upcoming draft class.
Group Demonstration: In order to help get their names out there, all of the players your scout estimated to be 1-ball or 2-ball prospects have offered to arrange a demonstration of their skills. This option is equivalent to scouting each of these players once, though it will not provide any additional information for players you have already scouted.


Basically what it says on the Scouting page itself.

I tried group demonstration a few seasons ago and it basically it gives you the game stats, height, age and I believe Star Rating of the players ranked 30+ or so. It wasn't super helpful as most of the players it scouts are kinda garbage, and you cant see there potential. But decent if you get a low pick, will help you find some gems in the lower ranked players.

I'm in league IV and will have a low pick would it be a good idea if I use group demonstration? I'm not sure i'll get a good player.

Another question: Are computer controlled teams good at choosing players for the draft?

err, just to clarify, the scouting combine gets you the height and age of all 48 players, something I think is very useful. Group demonstration is the equivalent of scouting all of your 1 or 2 ball prospects (ie. the bottom 19 players based on rumours) once. And if you have done the scouting combine and have more than 9 18 year olds in your bottom 19, then I think it can be a good idea to use (if you then have enough scouting points to further scout the good players for their potential).
As far as computer controlled teams, they are usually atrocious at drafting since they go into it with their pre-set draft list (which is different than yours), and is very close to being just random.

You have a lot of bots in your league so yes, you'll still likely get a good player. The computer picks randomly for those teams.

The best thing to do is use the group demonstration, that will help you identify the 18 yr olds. Then start scouting just the 18 yr olds for more information.

I got that mixed up. The Scouting Combine identifies the 18 year olds. Don't do the Group Demonstation.
