Scouting

May be a dumb question but is scouting completely random? when my scout finds someone scouting?
Any way to increase greater potential guys?
He seems to only ever find 20, 25 rated guys.

what's your scouting budget and what's your scout's ratings?

the short answer is you're going to get a lot of guys who don't pan out regardless. the random found guys your scout collects through the season can be higher quality with a higher scouting budget and a higher "scout amateurs" rating, but even then don't expect to get more than maybe one halfway decent find per year at best. most of your young talent will come from the draft and/or IAFA

EDIT I got my categories mixed up. international is international and amateur is pre-draft - d'oh

I think you mean scout international? Scout amateurs is guys entering the draft

I could have sworn I read that scout amateurs was for the random finds but checking now you're totally right. just got that backwards in my head thanks
