2071 Season Thread... Cubbies Social Distance from the NDL

[The_Niddler]

TIL, George isnt 60+.

WOW! I believe you say that damn near every time I throw the age out. I'm 1 or 2 years older than you aren't I?

Who's the oldest in the group? REIGN, JD, AJ, Weasel?

I am 45, will be 46 in October.

Anyone else having an issue with the scouting accuracy?
I did several scouting reports so that everyone on my ML squad was High or Very High accuracy.
Now, after the update and pull in the new file, only 3 players are high and everyone else is Average or low.

This is has happened to me as well. I scouted 3 payers in particular that were only average or high. They were scouted and all changed to high or v.high...noticed today all three were now average or low.... WTF?

New and improved, revamped scouting system!!!


What that really means is nothing from '20 is fixed, and we have new features that will not work either.

I could not agree more shel.

I received a response and then my response to this person:

My understanding is veteran players who are scouted at higher levels tend to keep those high level reports and younger players you would need to keep scouting as those reports would change over time and become less accurate as they progress/regress.
It is a mixture.

My response:
I have a C, 29 years old, I just scouted him 1 week ago in game and he is at a low.
2B, 27 years old, scouted 1 week ago, he is at a low.
3B, 26 and 28 years old, scouted 1 week ago, they are at average.
Then I have some younger prospects that were scouted 1 month ago in game, it is our offseason, so not much developing going on right now and they are now average and were high to very high.

I get that the scouting accuracy would change over time as the players progress/regress, but I would think 2 things, 1, it would have to be during the time when they are playing ball and actually progressing/regressing and 2, that 1 month in game would not change it this much.

I do appreciate you responding.

I just received this response from MizzouRah:

I pulled this out of the manual. (I'm trying to get a grasp on the new scouting system as well)


Scouting Accuracy

The accuracy of player scouting depends on a number of factors:

Your scouting director's ratings in the appropriate area
Your Scouting Budget in the appropriate area
The age of the player (older = more accurate reports)
How many times this scouting team has scouted the player
Whether the player is in your organization or not (in your organization = higher accuracy)

In general, this means that the longer you have the same team in place, the better your scouting will become, with better scouts with bigger budgets producing more accurate results. Older players and players in your organization are also easier to scout.

Additionally, you can affect the accuracy of scouts in your saved game globally. This can be done in the Game Options page.


Scouting Settings

Scouting Settings allows you to change the way the game's scouting systems operate in your game.
OptionDescription Use Complete Scouting System If this box is checked, OOTP's scouting system will be in use. If scouts are turned off, all player ratings and potential values you see in the game will be the actual values. Scouting Accuracy This allows you to select how accurate scouts are in your game world. This can be set from very low to very high. There is also an option called "100% accurate." This option is specifically for use by people who really don't want to deal with scouting, but still want the the game to periodically generate newly-scouted players. Scouting Report Updates This allows you to determine how often player scouting reports are updated: monthly, bi-monthly, or only at the start and end of the season. Report History This allows you to determine how many scouting reports are retained for each player: all of them, one per season, or none at all. Reports of Retired Players This allows you to determine whether or not scouting reports are retained or deleted when the player retires.

And it looks like the install folder/path for OOTP21 changed due to a MAC system reqirement, not an OOTP change, per the OOTP boards, so take it with a grain of salt, but:
For OOTP21, this path has changed on a MAC.
In finder, hold down the option key while clicking on the Go menu, then you will see the Library folder.
Go>Library/Containers/com.ootpdevelopments.ootp21macqlm/Data/Library/Application Support/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 21.

Did someone say double sim?!?!

[Uuaww]

Got an email that Logan Rose will be healthy 3 months early... maybe that means he won't get injured again ha.

He will be on the block next sim lol

This is good to know but doesn't really help us with regards to the dropping of accuracy of a recently scouted player.

[Cnasty]

Yea really.
Thanks for posting the manual!

My favorite part is how Billy is just ignoring you guys

Weird, never seen something like this happen but...

I downloaded the file this morning, everything normal. Have had OOTP 21 up all day like I always do.


Just went back to it, and I noticed all my saved filters are gone. Decide to close and restart OOTP. Do that, and it was like I was logging onto '21 for the first time ever, made me input my license key, the works, like it was brand new.

No clue what happened, haven't been messing with any files or anything today.

[TheGobOne]

Ya the manual said OSA should be worse than any actual Scouting Director in any case. That was bullshit for 2 versions.....

[Cnasty]

Can we just completely turn off OSA?

Could be fun!

[GeorgesGoons]

I can back that! It would be a blast to do so
