Ok, I think I get what you are saying now. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Let me state for the record that I am not claiming there is a 50/50 split on this issue, or that because some people believe one way or the other does not make them right. I have no such knowledge. I started in BB the day before last seasons draft, with no investment at all (blind draft) and got a pretty good trainee in Hicks. 19 years old, he will never be uber, but I will make some money off of him and he has played well for me. Pretty good for 0$ investment. Next time I might get nothing. I invested alot in this draft, and will see what happens, maybe I can pull two prospects, as others have claimed, or maybe I wont do as good as Hicks. Not sure.

The fact that there is debate over which is better in several posts is my only indication there there still is no difinitive answer. The jury is still out for me.

if all of this debates comes in as a stalement, which i think the point of this thread is to improve if there are areas that can be improve.

all else is pretty useless for me.

Nobody is going to bitch about players height?? If they are able to tell you what the players best position is after watching only 1 game, then your scouts surely must be able to tell you how tall a guy is (approx.)...

I understand how stupid that sounds. You could just have a quick glance at a player to estimate his approximate height. BUT, I also understand that this is a big giveaway for overanalysing managers. A little cooperation and some may gain an enormous advantage. So even if I also would have put height as a major factor in drafting order, I don't want things to be unfair and I think it is the main reason we don't get to scout height... I value a fair, balanced overall game over draft, so I don't think height should be in the scouting reports.

And in reply to a former post: One Joose to bind us all!!!

What's the point of reaffirming that the player is indeed a D- rating?

The point of double-scouting is not to reaffirm the rating, but to disclose the potential. Would you rather have A+ announcer, or a D- hall of famer?


This is an excellent point I had not considered, primarily because none of my double-scouted D's and F's had any potential either

No. That's the same as with skills. Collusion, too easy to get the wanted one,...

Hehe I was thinking exactly same thing as a new player:
1) why there is no height in the scouting reports
2) why nobody has not mentioned it yet (until you did)

I think the height of the players (which would be very easy for scouts to find out) should be included in the first report of the scouts. This would be very important to decide which one would prefer to get and not to end up with unpleasant surprises of ie a PG with 6'10'' height. Should be one information that would help team managers to decide their draft order. Surprises should come (bad or good) from players that have not been scouted.

Unfortunately this would allow people to easily share scouting information, and to exploit the draft. We should know height, full high school stats, full college stats, everything if this was like the real world. The integrity of the draft must supercede the realism of it in this case, imho

I disagree for obvious reasons. But 6'10''PG is not necessarily a bad thing if he is not clueless overall.
