OOTP ranks me 10th?

[steelcitychaos]

I have a feeling my season is going to be like the Colorado Rockies until they introduced the humidor....Going to see quite a few football scores this season.

I think he's going off rankings only...which he should know this game isn't based on rankings only. My 5th starter is ranked only 30/32 (my scout has him ranked higher though), but he is 30-11 with a whip of 1.25 the last 2 years.
By rankings only, yeah, my rotation doesn't look to good. Flores was in the 70's before he got hurt...now he's like 42 or something. Hopefully he'll bounce back.

I assign letter values to players and then average them out; slightly weighted. I virtually ignore overall/potential.

[Cnasty]

I virtually ignore overall/potential.

I need to start doing this as I am starting to see it rarely matters.

The bad part of that is my scout is also assigning the ratings such as "avoid k's" and "home run power" which also seem way off.

Can we get rid of scouts and if we do, does it revert to OSA rankings?

Lots of red marks and bad letters for Sheltown's rotation, no doubt.

I am liking my lineup this season, looks much better than last year's.

I am going to bring it up soon, but there are a multitude of ways to handle this. We have a lot to discuss this season as our three-year CBA (2011, 2014, 2017) is up this season and we will discuss them and then vote in the offseason.

YOu know the OSA ratings are still available right? Just don't look at your scout if you don't like him...

Im down for getting rid of scouts lol. I wouldnt be so against it if their views didnt change like the weather and the overalls ever fucking matched!

Fire him, don't hire a new one. Save the money lol.


If we ditch scouts, what are our options? Just using OSA?

I would be really dissapointed if we got rid of scouts. I use them for everything in the game, have invested heavily in them, and build my entire team on them. They are not meant to be perfect as no scouts ever are. But if you take a look at my line-up it correlates pretty well.

Getting rid of them will remove a lot of the "suprise" in finding guys. Everyone will know what someones potential will be. I would suggest that you may want to research how the scouts get their ratings systems before we just get rid of them.

[Bernie32]

Please, please do not get rid of scouts. IF you do, everyone will have all the same info and points of view. It will get boring quick, at least for me it will. We are suppose to be simulating GM's. They have scouts and data. They take into account both and make a decision.

+1

If you dont want to use scouts. Dont use them. Why would you penalize those of us who do?

There are a variety of ways to handle this, including keeping it the way it is. I will lay them all out once the season begins.

So I can draft in peace.
