Briliant post Sanjos, but actually I got an HOF each of past 3 seasons. Now, I did draft very late (last) after winning my league last season, but I am more concerned with the lack of depth of information given I invested the max amount possible.

It might depend on how active your DIV league is, but if you expect to finish in the top four record wise I doubt it is worth it to spend a lot on scouting. You will be scouting very nice prospects you will have very little chance of getting. Just save the money on scouting and get a decent prospect off the transfer list. Maybe you get lucky in the draft and hit the jackpot anyways. This year I cut back on my scouting. I got what I paid for with all 3 picks being 1-ball potential. There were 3-4 nice picks out of my draft, I think only one went after my pick (14th) so maybe an extra $10-20k a week in scouting gets me that guy, or I can just buy a decent 3-ball potential prospect with the $150-200k I saved over the course of the season.

When I promote up to DIII (who knows when) I will start investing a lot of money in the draft looking for that million-dollar prospect. But until then, I will develop my current trainees, expand my arena and work on upgrading my team. Scouting can wait.

Great, you got 3 HOF's 3 straight years and this season they put you in control..... Sounds like the computer knows the game better than you.

I did 40k for a bit. Not the whole season but on weeks I wanted two interviews for players.

You are pretty much just bad at the system.

I scouted every guard in the draft and walked away with 2 good 6'3 18 y/os with MVP and HOF potential respectively.

Maybe you should bother training your players?

My second round pick is only 2.7k salary, but in one or two seasons he will be a great player.
