Trialed players not in scouting database

[Randisco]

Hi all,

 

Working through lower leagues as I have done for years. Using the tried and true Trialing option in lieu of scouting to raise knowledge, then use the scouting "players" interface to sort and sign the best (not even bothered by the 30 player limit, i get it). In this years iteration, a few things are either not in the game or i can't figure it out, hoping someone can lend a hand:

- Trialists who i have reached 100% knowledge, then "terminated trial" are not coming up as a known player in my scouting database, not at all, even if I uncheck "interested in transfer" which should, by design put every player that we "know" in the pool. none show up - where did they go? I have a chief scout, we reached 100% knowledge, i dont get it. In past games, that knowledge built up by the Assistant, was transferred into the scouting panel. And it isn't like they are not showing up at 100% knowledge, they literally aren't coming up at all, like they have been removed from the database.

EDIT: After trial and error, it seems that "scouted" players only show up when using the "scouted players" dropdown instead of being included in the "player search" dropdown. Adds a step but at least i can find em now. Mods, is there a check or switch i can hit to include scouted players in the general player search again?

 

- Has the option to add "scout recommendation" as a column in the custom view been removed? Used to be a color coded 0-100 number and i could sort by it when added to the columns. Can't seem to find it this year

EDIT: I found the column ONLY when starting the view as Scout - Transfer, then, if I customize that view and make sure to NOT move the "scout recommendation" to the left, i can use it. Still not findable as potentially added columns, but like the above, at least it is a work around. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
