But I insist on what IMO is the most important aspect that was overlooked...age and height. I would think that those two would be the first things that a scout looks at. I don't understand why that info isn't given out.


I think certain information is withheld so that people can't trade information.

will the scouting that takes place during the playoffs count towards this season or will it carry over to next season?
It will carry over for next season.

This is my first draft and I'm so confused on who I should pick. I have 15 players scouted but only 3 with full info. One is a center who sucks. One will be my first pick (SG, 5* star rating, A+ grade, 4* potential and I train guards). The 3rd is an SF with 4* star rating, B+ grade rating, 4* potential.. not bad but not what I would think of as outstanding and I wouldn't train him. So should I choose him 2nd or gamble on the others?

19 players Scouted once.
5 Scouted twice.

Potential:
1 @ 3
3 @2
1 @ 1

Grades:
1 @ A
1 @ A-
1 @ B

Star ratings:
6 @ 5
4 @ 4

8 Centres
5 PG's
2 SG's
2 SF's
2 PF's

Of the graded players I will select the A- (best potential visible to me.)

I will ignore the A and the B and select the best 5 star players relative to their games stats. Max converted goals for one, max turnovers and blocks for other. (Trying to balance for minutes played.)

Quite frankly I don't like the new draft. Before it was simple, now it seems fraught with danger of wrong assessment. Too much information without knowledge for direct comparisons. It may still just be a gamble but last year I wasn't confused about anything, this year I can blame myself. :(

This makes little sense. If height and age were available at second scouting, there wouldn't be anything to trade, since the only way that both 'traders' had this information is if both players fully scouted the guy, so nothing to trade there.


It helps greatly to identify the players in the draft. For example, I could ask you "what do you know about the 5'9" PG, the 6'10" PF and the 7'2" C?" You might only have one of those, but it would be a way to get more potential ratings than you are entitled to under the rules.

Whoops, I missed the second part.

Still, players lying about their height and age happens all the time. All-time greats such as Wes Unseld, Charles Barkeley and even Bill Russell kept their real heights a trade secret.

I don't have a problem with these stats being missing considering 5 star players don't 'bust' in training camp the way real players do.
