I'm in D3, waiting for the second recruiting cycle. I've blown my entire scouting budget. Can I expect to have any transfers become recruitable for me? If so, will any be worth a ****?

They will show up with level 1 info only. Typically they're all F ratings at level 1 but they'll go to normal ratings if you scout.

So if you have no money yet then yeah, you're probably not gonna have much luck here. Unless you cut a sim recruited player and get funds.

I'll get some scouting cash if I cut a SIM recruit? Don't know why, but I had assumed I'd just get AP and recruiting funds. That's good to know! That piece of info just put a guy on the chopping block.

Ruthless! Go sit on someone else's bench, bum!

Lol!

How do you scout transfers? I don't see any in my pool, and I know that's not right.

They'll contact you at start of 2nd session. No other way to do it.

Actually, there are a couple of things you can do.

1. Since you have probably FSS'd the nearby states, send your assistant coach out to scout for new players close by. That will find anyone added to the pool in the second recruiting period.
2. FSS states that you haven't done before. Look at the bottom of the list of players and find the F's.

Good luck.

2-3 seasons in beta after this was implemented and 2 seasons is real world HD and I have been contacted by 2 (count them 1, 2!!!!) transfers. This is a joke and needs to be fixed badly.

No it doesn't. Read my post right above yours.

I'd prefer if transfers were visible to everyone at start of 2nd session. its realistic and better for gameplay.

the role of transfers was changed significantly - it is what it is in 3.0

likewise, the ability to focus recruiting on jucos was reduced - this changes roster management, especially when coping with a hole in a roster

I wish one could be more proactive on transfers or focus recruiting on jucos as in the past, but thats just not part of the 3.0 game

Yeah, exactly.

Geez, guys. It's no trick to finding them already. How easy should it be? All visible with no effort at all? I'm never a fan of freebies or welfare.

And I'm not so sure it is better for game play anyway. Why shouldn't it take a bit of effort to find a valuable player?

The Assistant Coach should also have the ability to find players depending on their years remaining then. And if new players are added to states after you have already FSS'ed them, then there should be the ability to FSS again. Otherwise they should be automatically visible to all like the top 100.
