the problem with gradual reveals is that people can then collaborate to adjust their scouting in order to better reveal players.

I think we could extend the reveal to 2 weeks though.. if we do it right after the economy update the last week... i'm not positive about that though.

the other option is to have a default ordering that just orders them by grade, unknown grades going last.

I don't understand what do you mean by people colaborating. How would they do that?

and even if there is a way, it doesn't matter when the information is presented. If they can do it now they will also be able to do it in the last 2 weeks.

I don't agree with this argument.

I think showing the scouting every week would be the best solution.

let me explain more clearly.

Your friend invests in scouting heavily, and discovers after 2 weeks that there are 2 A+ players available. He tells you this information, and you having happened upon 2 A+ players yourself, reason that you have probably got the best of the pool, and can safely invest less heavily in the future.. or inversely, if you haven't you know its still worth scouting more as there are good players to be discovered.

If all the information is revealed at once at the end, then your friends information can't influence your future investment in scouting resources.

btw i think if you don't login once in 2 weeks that its not bad for you to have a disadvantage, we cut your account off after 7.

I do agree with you BB Forrest, 2 weeks is 14 days, I´m sure you can find some time to logg in!

some people can be traveling, or without internet for longer than that.. and 2 weeks is much less then 7.

and anyway, there is no argument to not show the players weekly.

This looks like an excellent argument:

well, in my opinion it is not, because there is no way that in an early point in the season you will be able to know that you have already found all level 5 (or A) players that will be available. There is no way to tell how many players of each level there will be there.

but anyway, I personaly decided that when people (or me) suggest something here and other people start being very defensive about it, I'm no longer going to spend any more time in these discussions. So i stop here in this one. For me personally doesn't matter, since i will be online always, but I was posting this (as I said before) because there were A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKING FOR THIS AND COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WAY THINGS ARE NOW (via BB-mail, messenger, some in person even, and a whoel thread about it in the brazilian forum - 4th biggest community on BB), so I was jsut doing my part as a GM.

so basically all scouting activity stops when players are shown?
sounds ok with me


if that's the idea, then I agree also.

But then we will have less 3 weeks to scout. What will be the maximum number of times we will be able to scout players through the whole season (what ever it is now - 8)? how will that affect the way the information is shown?
