CrazyEye, what do you mean by it will make it less strategical? How will it do this?

because nowadays you could get an advantage through planning, because buying a llot of points in a short time is more expensiv then buying few point over a longer period.And yes they might be a case where late (expensiv) investment make sense out of strategical reasons, your team underperforming and the draft get more valuable, you don#t spot the player you like to see with your drafting points or reduce it after finding him ... But overall you make your plan about draft investment on the beginning of the season, and even the adjustment get better when you make them earlier.

With your system, the strategic decision would be invest late, so that you could use the money at the beginning of the new season, and then buy till you are a happy.

The reason is that at the moment you have to wait every week to be able to get a few extra scouting points. But what's the point? Why not allow us to buy as many scouting points as we wish at any given point in time?

I guess the point is to make the draft relevant for the entire season, not just scouting deadline.

And it´s not even far from beeing realistic. You collect your impressions over a long period of time. You could add a special scouting feature though called "camp", in which every team can invite 3 players for a scimmage workout and gets insight to let´s say ... 3 skills, which are displayed with a small error margin?

Different kinds of camps available - like ...

(1) Big Men Camp

will deliver insight into one of the following big guy skills: ID, IS, Reb for each of the three players (maximum margin of error 1)

(2) Shooting Camp

will deliver insight into one of the following shooting skills: JS, JR, IS

(3) Defense Camp

will deliver insight into one of the following defensive skills: OD, ID, Reb

and

(4) Guard Camp

will deliver insight into one of tthe following Guard skills: OD, JR, Passing

You can invite any three players from the list. Camp to be held during the last training update of the season.

Would add some spice to the scouting and increase realism.

I like the idea but what is "insight"? Is it a letter grade(A+,B-, D+,etc.)? Or is is some kind of description(ie. good ,great, crappy)? Is it in "balls"(eg. 5 ball,4 ball , 3 ball,etc.)? Or will it show the actually skill( respectable, average,atrocious,etc.)?

This is a pretty sweet suggestion. How about a couple of local players in the draft that you have already scouted completely as soon as the lists come out. They could be totally random 2 ball 2 potential guys but kids from the area you would know everything about.

I like both this suggestion and the one from seelenjaeger.

I like that idea ...

me too, I'm Big Men camp!

If this happened, imo we'll need 1 extra game, so 4 games per week ?
