Nobody is going to bitch about players height?? If they are able to tell you what the players best position is after watching only 1 game, then your scouts surely must be able to tell you how tall a guy is (approx.)...

I understand how stupid that sounds. You could just have a quick glance at a player to estimate his approximate height. BUT, I also understand that this is a big giveaway for overanalysing managers. A little cooperation and some may gain an enormous advantage. So even if I also would have put height as a major factor in drafting order, I don't want things to be unfair and I think it is the main reason we don't get to scout height... I value a fair, balanced overall game over draft, so I don't think height should be in the scouting reports.

And in reply to a former post: One Joose to bind us all!!!

What's the point of reaffirming that the player is indeed a D- rating?

The point of double-scouting is not to reaffirm the rating, but to disclose the potential. Would you rather have A+ announcer, or a D- hall of famer?


This is an excellent point I had not considered, primarily because none of my double-scouted D's and F's had any potential either

No. That's the same as with skills. Collusion, too easy to get the wanted one,...

Hehe I was thinking exactly same thing as a new player:
1) why there is no height in the scouting reports
2) why nobody has not mentioned it yet (until you did)

I think the height of the players (which would be very easy for scouts to find out) should be included in the first report of the scouts. This would be very important to decide which one would prefer to get and not to end up with unpleasant surprises of ie a PG with 6'10'' height. Should be one information that would help team managers to decide their draft order. Surprises should come (bad or good) from players that have not been scouted.

Unfortunately this would allow people to easily share scouting information, and to exploit the draft. We should know height, full high school stats, full college stats, everything if this was like the real world. The integrity of the draft must supercede the realism of it in this case, imho

I disagree for obvious reasons. But 6'10''PG is not necessarily a bad thing if he is not clueless overall.

We've been using the D thing in Cleveland since 06 when we got Damon Jones. We called him amon ones. No D and no J.

I agree on the scouting issues. I'd like to see age and/or height for everyone even if I don't scout them, I just feel like that's something that everyone would have even if you never actually sent anyone out to scout that player. I agree on the waste of scouting a 1 star guy twice, what I'd like to see is if you scout 4 guys a week for 14 weeks (56 reports) you get the list of available players at the end of the season and instead of having players already scouted you just click on a random player and expend 1 report, this way you can decide if you want to scout them again, I just think those 2 things might make the process more realistic as a whole, although this is free so it's pretty tough to complain
