Description of issue
Backdrop
Playing the beta save, it felt I was getting next to no recruitment focus recommendations at all (maybe 2 or 3 recommendations in a 6 month period with 10 scouts).
I have seen other posts here with similar issues so I waited until the full game release and have done some testing in the new game.
The test
What I have done is sent 3 scouts to Countries they have complete knowledge in to do recruitment focuses with very low parameters to encourage results and recommendations. These scouts were working on this for 2 months in game.
1 scout sent to Brazil. 3 ½ star grey current ability, 1 ½ gold star potential ability. Age max 23.
1 scout sent to Ivory Coast and Ghana, ½ grey star current ability, 1 gold star current ability. Age max 23.
1 scout sent to Uruguay 2 ½ grey star current ability, 1 ½ gold star potential ability. Age max 23.
My expected behavior of game
The “in progress players” once reach extensive knowledge, should either be moved out of “in progress” and moved to either a “near match” or “recommendation” and then to move onto new players to scout in the “in progress” section.
Actual behavior of game.
After 2 months in game time I got no (zero) recommendations from all three recruitment focuses!
The Brazil scout had the same 27 players stuck on extensive knowledge on the in progress section for the whole time.
The Uruguay scout had the same 20 players stuck on extensive knowledge on the in progress section for approximately 6 weeks, no recommendations, and then moved onto new players.
The Ghana and Ivory Coast scout had the same 2 players stuck on extensive knowledge on the in progress section for about 6 weeks no recommendations, and then moved onto 5 new players.
Issues
Main issues generated from this test are the following
There should be many recommendations from the recruitment focuses for such low parameters.
Next match planned is always N/A for the scouts
The Ghana/Ivory Coast scout only looked at 7 players in 2 months. They should be scouting a lot more players considering I have loaded all players from top division for those 2 countries.
I have uploaded the following save games at different points through this test for you to look at.
1. Start of scout test Jack Davies - Aston Villa.fm This was saved at 18th July
2. Stop point 1 19th Aug - Jack Davies.fm This was saved at 19th August
3.Stop point 2 16th Sep - Jack Davies.fm This was saved at 16th September
Please let me know if you have any queries about anything I’ve said/sent.
I have to say I really hope this can be fixed soon, because this headline feature has been a huge disappointment. (unless I really have the wrong end of the stick about how this should work)
Thank you for looking into this,
Jack
