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. ;-) )
