Well, i am out of money and the scouted are all in battles or signed. I scout internationals so maybe I need to stop doing that.

and I want to see potentials too

I think you can scout what you need to scout within your budget, but internationals can certainly blow through things quickly.

I think the key is not doing individual scouting that's unnecessary. a lot of times you can see if players aren't going to work for you without scouting them all the way up. if you individually scout to excess at great distance, i can definitely see how you can burn through a budget.

Right .. you need to pickup levels as cheaply as possible:

FSS is the cheapest at $15/level, then hosted camp at $30/level, then the public camps at around $40-$50 per level if you need only 1 division of the 2 hosted, or around $30/level if you need both divisions, then $60/level for Assistiant Search .. and lastly .. > $100 to as high as $500 per level if you individually scout.

So, it is indeed (IMHO) important to scout via the cheap methods initially and only use individual scouting sparsely.

I rarely scout anyone except transfer recruits individually .. or maybe an international I find very appealing.

Hughes you only see green at 4 though. It has an impact. I will be more cautious, still when you need to find gems in desperation times, money won't be enough. Remember I had scouted plenty and thought I would manage. It seems the two other targets I went after signed pretty fast. I am now in the dark. D1 is really different.

I thought from what I had read on the forums that VH was 66.7% and H was 33.3%?

Also, what does it take to push a team down to medium?

~ a 66% to 34% lead in effort
which is ~ a 76% to 24% chance to sign.
Any higher and you are at 100%
(right hughes?)

The short answer to your question is another 1%

I was just trying to make sense of hughes 5% difference comment from VH to H.

And I can understand zorzi's frustration. HIs team is basically screwed for the next 4 seasons.

The actual probabilities on signing in a H vs VH battle will vary by battle, and the formula is not disclosed. It can be 66.7 to 33.3, but isn't always. It can (probably - again, this hasn't been disclosed by WIS to my knowledge) be much closer than that. It depends on how close the high is to the very high in terms of effort. The effort discrepancy gets "stretched" to determine the probabilities, so they don't match. It always favors the effort leader.

35% probability is the low cutoff for High. 40% probability is the low cutoff for Very High. 40-35=5 It is not rocket science.
