Yeah, but it's the guys your scouts THINK will suck, not the ones who actually suck. I've done mine and gotten three guys who have 5 balls skills, 4 balls potential and are 18 years old. That's better than my entire scouting of last year.

Does anyone know if we are going to earn more scouting points for this year's draft?

If there was one thing I would of liked a lot is if you released this on Sunday instead of yesterday because with all the bugs, people felt got conned out of points and if it was Sunday night they could at least get more the next morning and be less paranoid.

no it is not , a reset is needed as teams have gained an unfair advantage.

ive got a great draft list ad im willing to give it up to promote fair play.

it was a bb error , teams should not be disadvantaged by this.

Oh BULL-S***. What about the managers which discovered great players? You reset and then THEY will complain. It was a mistake, forget about it and move on. BBs didn't do it on purpose. BTW new scouting system is brilliant

you obviosly did not read all my posts , but nice attitude anyway champ.

i said i thought they should reset the people who scouted before the fix not after.

There is still a MAJOR bug in the system.
I lost 10 scouting points because I accidentally clicked on the "Group Demonstration" button twice because it's not ghosting. Well, it took away 10 points without giving me any new information. How can I get those points back? If I don't, I've literally wasted hundreds of thousands of scouting dollars!

10 points costs about 50k lol.

Anyway, I am unable to press it twice, so maybe you hadn't actually done it in the first place?

i said i thought they should reset the people who scouted before the fix not after.

Nah, it is either no reset or a complete reset (either of the affect league's drafts or a global reset). For example, I scouted before the fix. When I got home I took a screenshot. I also took a screen shot of just about every step of my decisions, because I am trying to figure out the ins and outs of the new system. I wanted to see the before and after picture so to speak.

If you reset my list, but not the whole league's draft, I am definitely in a better position than my league mates.

The only issue to me is the "perceived" advantage that the negative point people had by getting a reset. In theory, they could have done the same as me (taken a screen shot). However:

1) As Edju said, we are talking about a really small % of users.
2) An even smaller % would have actually taken a screen shot.
3) Correct me if I am wrong, but because of the bug you could only do the combine and the group demonstration. Maybe you could do something with the information, but it is still a stretch.

Anyhow, either way it has an impact on fairness, whether perceived or real. However, a full reset has much wider implications than leaving things as is. All in all, I think it was exactly the right decision by the BBs.

Wrong. 40 000 each week, 10 weeks, 40 scouting points, 10 000 for each point.
And I am STILL able to press it, it still hasn't ghosted, so I'm not some retard who can't understand the difference between clicking and not clicking.
Thanks for your useless comment.

I'd just like to know why the baseline things and "Word of Mouth" are sooooo off. Is this "Word of Mouth" thing the same for every team in the league? Meaning every team thinks the same guys are really good when it's actually "who the hell knows"?

This would be useful for figuring out which players will go quicker in the draft. But in terms of finding your own studs, it appears to be completely useless.

So I used 10+10 points and nothing else was functioning after that. Today I'm at 0 points because it turned out I had exactly 20 points to spend. Since I did not reach negative numbers it all stays as it is for me:) Others who did the same actions but reached -1 SP-s had their draft reset and actual points returned with seen info not reset from their notes, minds.

You still have great information with that 10+10 points. Plus if you keep spending the same money you will get 8 more points by season's end. I would say that you are still in a really good position. You can even up your investment and get as many as 16 more points, still probably enough to scout all the good 18 year olds in your draft pool.

(PS Are you telling me that you really believed that you would end up with more points than the old system, and the season is not even over yet? I guess you are much more of an optimist than me. ;-) )

Or 10k a week is 2 points a week which means 5 weeks which means 100k.

Anyway, clearly you have some anger issues. I wasn't accusing you of being retarded, but people make mistakes, and it is possible you might have made one. Obviously you didn't, so perhaps it is a bug.
I was just saying that I couldn't click it twice, but maybe because I already clicked it and don't have enough points to click it again.
Thanks for your unjustifiably angry comment that acheived nothing a calm and friendly comment couldn't.
