ACFergie86 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Keep in mind i never use scouts that dont have between 18-20 for judging potential and current ability I can see a young player who i really like the look of, send a scout or two to see what they make of him and they will basically say he has nowhere near the potential to be a top player and wouldn't be a worthwhile signing and then a few years later, he is playing for another top club, worth about £20m and is a world star. Although, I know it is realistic, scouts don't always get it right. So it is a good thing too. They are always quite far off when they predict how much a player will cost, as well. I hate complaining and i dont want to seem like im complaining because i love FM, i just want to know if anyone else has had dodgy scouts? And maybe some examples?

lhinchliffe Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 There was a thread not so long ago about a really good scout who was sent to the USA - two days later he came back with no players found. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManUTactician247 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I find it the opposite, my scout finds a player and say he'll be very good, joins the club and you think "must get him off the wage bill" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACFergie86 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 I find it the opposite, my scout finds a player and say he'll be very good, joins the club and you think "must get him off the wage bill" to be fair, if i send a scout on an assignment, now and then he will come back with a highly recommended player who will be amazing, it's just when i scout one player in particular, the scout will be terrible!

Ishu Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I just see how the player is now, and what is the leftover stars between his CA & PA as suggested by the scout. Works fairly well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 In fm10 my scouts would never rate a youngster with more than 3 stars than the stars he had for his current ability. so even if he was one of the hottest prospects, he would still only get a 3 or 3.5 star recommendation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
