I agree with others. It will just give users false hope. I checked probably 50 players preseason last time and of them most players are very likely to not be even close to the team. Reason I do so is that a low salary player can have very well distributed skills and be selected for such reason.

Where is the fun of winning if you cheat?!

I have no idea either, though any GM in BB will tell you that some users here beg to differ...

FWIW, I made pretty much the exact same case to the BBs a few months ago, but the decision was made to keep it as it is, based on feedback from "a couple of national team managers". Safe to say you weren't one of them.

You are free to ignore it, so what's the issue. (discussed again?!)

A few NT coaches we spoke to liked that users could see how active they were being (by scouting so many players). Also, they said it brought more attention to the national team, as people will ask why.

That said, I do see the downsides of having all of the headlines show up.

I think it's fair to let users know when the NT coach has looked at their player, but that's just me.
