i think that graded costs is an OK idea. you could also have some of the money go away as recruiting begins. for example:

you get $3000 for scouting. $1000 of this expires at the start of recruiting, meaning you either scout 2-3 states in advance or lose that money...

$ amounts totally made up and unimportant at this point, since we have no idea what the recruiting services are going to cost.

on early entrants, since we already get the info in recruiting evals ("he looks like he could leave early, but needs a year or 2 to mature" or "he is ready now, and will almost surely leave early"), could they make it mean more? the truth is, if you have a stud recruit but your team sucks or he doesn't get enough minutes, he isn't going anywhere. and if it says "he has a shot to play in the NBA someday" or "he is best-suited for a midmajor" or whatever, he should almost never leave early.

BTW, i cannot wait for the time when my team is good enough that early entrants is my big gripe. seriously.

I get what you are saying about the early entrants. I am just now to that point and am thinking crap lol. They mess with ya, that's for sure! I just wish there was more rhyme and reason to them.

And I do think an amazing rated player should potentially leave early regardless of how good/bad his team is. The way they have it setup right now its mostly team NT success that dictates who leaves early, I would like to see them do something with the scouting services, somehow, that would help with that. Hell they could even make the "He's a team player and rides the bus" Actually mean something too.

I just hope that this has been tested, tested, tested, and then tested some more. WIS seems to have a pretty bad track record of introducing changes to the game without having unintended consequences somewhere else.

I don't mind the changes, it keeps the game from getting too stale. But please, please, have it right when it's introduced and don't make the paying customers be the guinea pigs.

This is from the Dev Chat -- "Once a player is signed, the scouting notes tab/information will transfer from the recruit profile to his player profile. Only the coach who signed that recruit will have access to that information."

Was this changed? Now they are telling me that I will get update messages from my assistant coach. You mean after I paid for scouting I can't have access to this info for the guys I signed? I didn't know I was going to have to print out copies of a player's scouting sheet and keep a file on him.

Good catch. I had forgotten about this.

I now call: BULLSHIT!
