I like to see how my players improve over their first (draft) year.  As of now, all that stays is "Spring Training" for the following year.  You don't know where his ratings were when you drafted him.

I like it.

Good suggestion.  Or you could go with "time of signing"  since all draftees have to be signed, and it would include IFAs too.

I'd actually take the opposite on this, meaning that nothing should be there beyond current and projected ratings. While it is nice to see how your players have grown, the data available allows for a work around for the advanced scouting budget. Add more data, and you might as well just eliminate the advanced budget all together.

That's actually not a bad idea.  Doesn't mean one can't manually keep previous season lines but that's a start to making ADV more important.

"This will, in fact, never happen".

Maybe a compromise.  You can see where you're players were when you drafted them and the progression they've made, but looking at a player on another team would just show current/projected.  If you want to take the effort to track the whole league, more power to you.  At least you have to put in some effort that way, or collude with the guy you're trading with.

Jonas - I like this. Good because I would just manually track my own players, and it would just become a pain the in ***. But that makes advanced scouting much more important to me.

And yes, I still want "time of signing" on my own players.
