Just a quick summary of what happened for everyone here.

1) After releasing the new draft system, it appeared the scouting points were wrongly calculated for some managers. Some received too many, some received not enough.
2) A few hours after the reports we fixed this, but in the meantime some people already spend their points. (this is also the reason some of you got less points than when you logged in yesterday shortly after the draft was released.)
3) After recalculating everyone's points, some people showed a negative number.
4) We decided to reset the whole socuting for the affected teams.

We will discuss whether we need a reset for all teams that spend points between the release and the fix soon.

Apart from this all, I thought the moral of the last few years was to not spend anything you don't have or aren't supposed to have. I guess we are facing a new crisis soon! ;)

They do not appear in the same order. Otherwise people would cheat and share information with each other.

It costs 1 point to scout a player once.
This will give you a more accurate ball rating for skill and the recommended position.
If you want to see height, age, potential and a more accurate rating of the skill of a player then you need to spend an additional 2 scouting points.

So basically 3 scouting points to see everything about a player.
Basically, if you scout 20k a week, you get 1 full player a week. Or you could scout 3 players once.

My 5-ball baseline ranking player number 1 turned out to be a 1-star scrub after I scouted him.

The combine tells you nothing that the interview won't tell you. If you do the combine, you still have to do the interview. There just aren't enough points for both. I'd rather do the group workout, and after that, get as many interviews in as possible.


And there aren't enough points to intereview all the players, either. However, it is possible to do the combine and group workout and then find all the top 18 year old prospects in the draft pool. You can't do that through interviews alone (or if you can, I haven't figured out how yet).

Sorry, RIP has it right here.

True, sharing information does seem like it will be a lot easier now...oh well.

I wouldn't want to share the information to my nearest rival so that the top talents end up on his team instead of mine, but if anyone thinks that's an effective tactic, nobody stopts them.
I don't think this changed much in the new system though, you could also share this info in the old system in the two weeks between the edit draft order list, and the draft itself.
