What about the Scout? The fourth member of the staff...


I was actually just coming here to post this, but looks like I was beaten to it.

Implementing a scout as a 4th staff member could make a lot of sense... the levels could be roughly matched to the 5/10/20/40k scouting prices we have now, and would allow specialties to address some of the issues that have been raised in this thread.

For example, maybe you get a Frequent Flyer specialty, where your scout travels as much as possible, getting a lot of 1 visit scoutings, but very few repeat visits. Conversely, you could have an in depth scout that would tend to spend more time at each scouting visit, increasing the likelihood you'll get 2nd impressions of players (whether good or bad players), but decreasing the total # you can scout.

Plus the idea of having a scout as part of the staff makes much more sense than having it included in the Training menu.

The idea is nice but I have some doubts. A lots of the expenses on scouting are not based on a single person. And a network should have money availible like a budget and not so much as a salary.
This suggestion makes it almost impossible to cut short-term expenditures. I am only in 4th league and like it very much that I have a grip on these costs all the time.

Just my 2 cents ;)

The reason that so many people are complaining is because most find it not worthwhile to invest money at all to the scouts - much better off buying directly from the market. Even for the bottom teams who get the first few picks, they are still not guaranteed to benefit from the draft system (money invested in scouts>value of draftees). So I would like to offer a quick fix here: why not lower the scout cost, for example, by 50%? Because currently I think the scout is an investment too risky for most team - fair return, but very high risk. It is punishing the top teams for investing any money at all, which I don't think that is the purpose?

Um, you necromanced (making up words, yay) a year-old thread...? Well, just in case you didn't know, this thread no longer applies because the draft system is, in fact, new-ish.

Seriously, this is my solution. You can't make money off the draft unless you are incredibly lucky. So spend your $640,000 elsewhere.

I bet if everyone did that the BBs would work on a new draft system.



I spend 0 in the draft and I think that's the best investment choice. I can buy a decent rainee for 50k, so why invest 10k a week for the lottery ticket that will probably give me nothing but crap.
