Hello all. I have a problem. Before draft system was fixed I was made "Scouting Combine" and "Group Demostration" options, then i see about 20 players raitings, position, age and height, after that I try to scout 2 players but then it dosent work, so the problem is that now I have only 16 scouting points (then I turned on draft page first time I have ~48) and see nothing about players...I talk with some of my friends, they see them players raitings, position, age and height but have 0 points and dosent see them scouted players... So how I can fix it, maybe restore my scouting points ?

P.S. Sorry for my englsih

So wait, let me get this straight.

People are saying "lol, you spent more points that they should've known that you would have" to the people who have spent too many points and finished with 0, 1, or 2 points and barely had any players scouted fully due to the group demonstration followed by the scouting combine (or maybe just the former with a few upper players scouted)...

but the people who overspent to the extent that they used MORE THAN they would have been allotted get a full reset, probably with a few numbers written down as to which players they had fully scouted/were worth it (like any reasonable human being would)? I know it's a small percentage of users in this latter situation, but it's a very harsh double-standard that has screwed plenty of users out of their points, while others have been given a complete reprieve -- a bonus, even, for over-spending.

I'm sorry guys if this has already been discussed, I tried to go through this monster thread but I didn't find an answer: the draft instructions say that scouting a player once costs 1 point, scouting him twice costs 2 additional points.

So, that means that fully scouting a player costs 3 points, right? Just to be sure, before I try to think of any strategy.

And, ahem, did anybody try the Group Demonstration option and is willing to share how inaccurate the baseline ratings are? I was wondering if one can expect to find any 4-ball or even 5-ball in this way...

Thank you.

I followed several guys who make it and there is a general consensus: it is pretty inaccurate.


Thank you, that helped.

And btw, so far I've only scouted a 5-ball player and I got a 5-ball star rating, so 100% accuracy for me. :)

But no really, even factoring the baseline inaccuracy I still think Group Demonstration is hardly worth it, unless you know you will have a very low pick and you want to spot some decent, mid-level players.
In my draft list I have 19 1 or 2-ball players, I think I'd rather spend those 10 points on 10 players with a base of 4 or 5 balls.

Still curious to hear other peoples' opinion, of course.

Well I found 2 players with 5 star rating and about 5 players with 4 star rating. So I think it's definitely worth the 10 points, at least it was in my case.

When I did group demonstration 6 of my scrubs turned out to be 5 ballers. 4 of them turned out to be 18 so I think the demonstration was the best thing I did.

Eight of my guys from the group demonstration ended up with 5-ball star ratings, four of whom are 18 years old. On the other hand, the two 5-ball baseline guys I scouted both ended up being 4-ball star rated.
