(Introduction: I coached a couple seasons in the past, quit, and just returned to try it again.)
1. Trying to sign minor league free agents . . the only option it gives me is to offer the league minimum for the player's level. But then I get a message saying other teams offer more, what am I missing?
2. What does advance scouting do specifically? does it apply during trades when I am looking at other players? When I look at the player being offered to me, do I see the same projected stats the current owner sees, or different?
3. A few years ago, I commented that there didn't seem to be an observable affect of coaching (ie., I didn't see how all the various coaches improved development.) At that time, there was speculation that the coaching was not 'plugged in' - we went thru the motions of building a coaching staff, but it had zero actual affect on the game or on player growth. Any further insight to this anyone?
FWIW I love the idea of coaches, I really want them to work and to matter . .
