Well I mean hey maybe my scouts are right and every single one of these players has a trash defensive profile that doesn't fit their bat

It's early in this season and I haven't controlled for change in pitcher quality as it relates to ratings, but I think there's been a change over the last year affecting control/eye and walks. BB/9 averages across the entire league: S21: 3.10 S22: 3.07 S23: 3.06 S24: 3.07 S25: 3.08 S26: 3.06 S27: 3.06 S28: 3.14 S29: 3.07 S30: 3.22 S31: 3.21 S32: 3.22 S33: 3.27 S34: 3.31 Is this just noise that can be explained away by unattended teams having guys get trounced or maybe something tweaked

Scrotos posted:Which makes zero sense in terms of the game! Like we hired the best scouts we can and were not sure we can trust them. My first round pick in another world was a high school SP that my $20M high school scouts saw as 16/85 Dur/Sta. Once he signed he turned out to be 6/83. Draft scouting is completely unreliable now regardless of how much you put into it.

Even if you follow what they want you to do, they hosed it all up. What was so goddamn wrong with being able to see current ratings and just extrapolating based on that, scouting/board rank, age and chance of reaching projections? It was a very easy and simple system. So it rewards people who aren't idiots that can get by without investing in scouting -- so what? It's better than killing your business.

I'm totally fine with not being able to see current ratings on draft picks. If you want to tank your draft scouting that's the price you pay for being able to spend another 12 mil or whatever in free agency. It was a really dumb idea to make scouting totally unreliable on top of that.

What's the point in putting a ton of money into scouting if the numbers are wildly inaccurate? They were already somewhat fuzzy before.

The forums are complete poo poo and the autist that posts there constantly is the biggest champion of "we need more uncertainty in drafting". I did submit a ticket and here's the response: quote:When we introduced the update earlier in the year involving scouting fuzziness, it was done to make the draft more realistic and to cut down on the formulaic process. This was done by increasing the fuzziness of the projected ratings and by removing the current ratings so owners couldn't eliminate their Advanced Scouting Budget by building spreadsheets, etc., to gain an advantage. There's not a lot to say after that.

Well if they are going to make the first round "realistic" they need to make the later rounds "realistic" too in that actual talent can be found beyond pick 30.

If enough people are fooled into taking bad players there might be good players left after pick 30. You'll have no idea who they are, of course.

There are fuzzy numbers and then there is "god gently caress I don't know" and the current system is definitely the latter.

An equalizer would be variations in development, maybe a combo of inherent player differences weighed with added influence of coach ratings? Then again putting extra emphasis on coaches with the way that hiring system still is might not be the best thing

If they want to stress realism then yeah it'd be ideal to have a guy flounder in the minor leagues and suddenly "click" once he's like 24-25 and have a huge spike in ratings. Advance Scouting could better tell you who those guys are.

This is going to be my last season in DiMaggio (and HBD). I've been trying for a while to summon the effort to properly run a team and I just can't do it - I don't enjoy this game anymore. I"ll do my best to shepherd the team to the end of the season and leave a solid franchise for the next owner. We'll always have Wally together.

So I'm just now sitting down and actually looking at the draft results instead of just quickly glancing over some players. Chris Garrett was the easy #1 on my board and arguably the only player worth a poo poo according to my scouts. And he went 7th, wow. The new draft scouting certainly makes things interesting at the very least. [ASK] Me about your first round HS draft pick and I'll tell you if he's a total scrub or not e: 2nd on my prospect list went 11th and 3rd went 26th whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat Devo fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Jan 23, 2016 |

I'd be glad to get your scouts view on Starlin Ingram and Luke Flynn. I also didn't see any of your top 3 since HBD has no idea how drafts work. Such a dumb process that they managed to ruin even more.

Tavarin posted:I'd be glad to get your scouts view on Starlin Ingram and Luke Flynn. Ingram is a totally generic RHP with an ok-ish RH split and a not so ok-ish LH split. His control is super good though. Flynn is a switch hitter with a pretty good RH split but mediocre everything else. Also he's slow as molasses and his range is sub-par for 3B.

Warren Thole probably won't sign, what am I missing out on? Also Chris Garrett's vsR split showed up as like 20 points lower than it was and I still had him top 3 on my board. Butts.
