I know this isn't a bit constructive but the way SI have handled this whole scouting-debacle leads my thoughts to good old "bagdad-bob". "Everything's fine. You're doing it wrong. Fake news". I know this was my last fm for a foreseeable future. IMHO si has gone stale being the only adequate football Sim out there.

Scouting (Recruitment focuses) doesn't work

Well put. You enhanced what I was trying to say but in a much better way. -
Scouting (Recruitment focuses) doesn't work
lilljons commented on zeza's issue in Transfers, Scouting, Contracts and Intermediaries
Hello zach! In my pov your post misses the point. IMO scouting should be about building up a team-specific database. For example theres a player tearing up my division, there should be a report of some sort on him. "Yeah he's good because of x and y, however he doesn't want join us because he wants to play on a higher level". As of now, I am one of them who doesn't get any fruitfull feedback from my scouts. I didn't play fm23 because of various reason but what I liked about fm22 was that I could see what teams had been scouted and how many times. I'm rambling on but in general scouts should watch games constantly so that one would have team specific database as all the teams nowadays work around. I'm hugely disappointed and I will retire this game once a release I'm waiting for is out. Sadly I can quit totally, this game have been with my my whole life but all these sweeping answers in this thread have pushed me over the edge. Good riddance. -
i think ive found the root of this annoyances. Posted my answer in this thread. EDIT: False alarm, my assistant manager is still doing his thing and spending my scouting budget.

negative scouting budgets
lilljons commented on The About Average Jake's issue in Transfers, Scouting, Contracts and Intermediaries
I've had the same problems. Dof keep suggesting targets from all over the world and draining the budget. In a new save I was dead set on not using a dog because of this. Instead my assistant managers keep giving target suggestion and again draining my budget. Mad as **** I started looking for why this was, and I think I found it. Go to staff, responsibilities, advice and reports. At the top there are three roll downs. Analyst reports, staff meeting and... player target frequency. It's set on every week, I changed it to never. And now I don't get any more expensive reports. EDIT: It didnt work. Assistant manager is still doing his own thing and draining the scouting budget. -

I just want to add my name into the basket. Imagine all the people experience this issue but dont write in here or any other part of the forum? I have multiple saves up and running but this scouting ineffeciency is killing almost all joy out of it. Please, could you please give the dog a bone? Can you confirm the issue and perhas give a hint when this will be fixed? -
Its in the opening post.

This thread has been incredible to read. To read your thought process and your methods has given me very much new and good information. Thank you! -
I'm from Sweden. We have a Swedish-speaking podcast named "when we were kings", with a sportjournalist named Erik Niva. He's made countless episode talking special teams and their story. They just did a three episode a 3-4 h each on ajax 94/95 season. it was from there I got the floating defender reference. I totally agree with your reasoning, it's just the Rijkaard role that have puzzled me.

Nice write up! Will look up your tactics more when I'm home. However,did you play around with the Rijkaard role anything? He did see himself as a floating defender and the fact he at times dropped into back line in prolonged defending? I did a quick thingy where my aim was defending as a 433 and morph into 343 diamond. Ifb's, libero. However I didn't get the diamond shape as I wanted with the DM moving parallel with the cm(s) behind a cm(a). More testing is needed after your post. Keep up the good work!
