Also, from a realism point of view, there is no way your scouts can be looking 2-3 seasons into the future.


Scouts are constantly looking at new talent many seasons before they are able to be drafted. Look at any college program giving out scholarships to 12 yr olds. Professional teams do the same thing. The more information they can get on a "good" class of players the better

Question of Tactical Placement:

Is a 19 year old with 5 skill/5 pot A better than a 18 year old 5skill/4 pot A? Assuming same height same position.

Thanks.

4 being potential?

Thinks its a personal choice really... some people prefer 18 year olds because there is more time to train and get their salaries up. Others would prefer higher potential.

Personally I'd prefer the 18 year old. Last season my bro drafted 3 players who were 19... all with pretty abysmal starting skills but decent potential.

So if you don't get the skill set you want, you have more time to train the primary skills and put the other skills as secondaries with an 18 year old.

Besides, not everyone is able to fully utilise the 5 star potential players. Just my POV.

back to the real scouting debate

i have actually increaced my scouting spending but it looks to me like there is no-one in the draft that i feel excited about, maybe i am just in a bad pool

most of the 18 year olds suck, best i have seen is a 4 ball skill but not perfect height

maybe there is a hidden gem hidden behing some "word of the street" 3 ball dude who will turn out to have 5 ball skills and high potential but i am sure i wont be discovering him except by pure luck


ditto for me, more money, no one exciting that I have found. However I realized that spending 10 points to get ages and heights really didnt do me too much good other than to confirm that all the tall players, only one over 7ft were all 19. I should hit 10 points next cycle, going to scout all the one and two ballers with that 10 points, that seems to be the best move. you get to see about 15 games for 10 points. hopefully a couple 5 ballers in there that i can take a flyer on.

how many more cycles do we have to accumulate points?

One more week if we assume scouting ends at the same time as previous seasons.

Right now we're getting draft points for season 13 from the start of the playoffs of season 12 till start of the playoffs of season 13.

Will you change that or will this remain as it is? Some people in Germany would like to have the scouting points for e.g. season 14 from beginning to the end of season 14. They are getting confused by the start/end being the playoffs.

PD is also used in a 2 way tie...

but I don't really know what happens in the extremely rare situation where two (or more) teams have the same record and the same PD

Yes.
Currently you have 10th pick.
If you lose your next game, and LA Cavaliers and laguadalupe both win their games then you will get 8th pick.
