how the hell do you get to see anyones potential?

i have been 10k the whole year and havent had enough scouting points to look at a single guys potential

seeing as the base rankings are totally worthless i have had to scout every 18 year old to see what their real star rating is and next i will probably start on the 19 year olds that are the right height

you realise every interview is costing you at least $10,000

this new system, knowing the height is awesome, the rest seems no better than the old one

Will unused scouting points transfer over to following seasons?

Was that directed at me? I spent 40k for the first few weeks, and 40k the last few weeks. So plenty of points.

nope at LightBeater

but you have spent a ton more on scouting than me

i only spend 10k a week cause i am picking last and didnt think i have much chance of getting a great star

but if anything this new system may make the draft even more random in terms of finding guys with good potential and you can be sure that at least whoever you draft will be the right height

More random than the last system? If you spent 10k a week on the last system, you'd probably get the potential of 3-8 players, with a good chance that most were 1 or 2 ball players that you would have no interest in anyway. I think saying it's more random in terms of finding guys with good potential is vastly exaggerating (at best). I like this system because it has taken away some of the randomness and put the decision-making into the hands of the players.

i admit that i got crap every draft in the old system mainly due to being screwed by height quite a bit and i said knowing the height is a HUGE plus

but i dream of knowing the potential of 3-8 guys, most likely i will know the potential of 0 guys this time, choosing last my best hope of getting someone not rubbish may be by targeting 19 year olds... :(

You do know that you don't have to see everyone's skill before you start interviewing players for potential right?

For example, if you have 30 scouting points (which I believe is what you will get for 10k/week), you could just scout and interview 10 of the players. Or you could do the group demonstration and the scouting combine and interview the best 4-5 players that fit who you're interested in training. There are a myriad of other strategies that will let you see plenty of players' potential if you spent 10k/week. So it seems to me that if you don't see anyone's potential, it's because you chose not to see anyone's potential.
