OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - BZ 3094: Scouting reports (rating values) with scouting off mismatch with player profile

Jayzone · 06-03-2009, 02:37 PM

There seems to be an issue where the rating values in the scouting report don't match with rating values displayed in the player profile.

I saw this with 3 different setups (all that I have tried) in the following:

(1) default MLB league with scouting system turned off -> the most recent rating values in the scouting report do not match up with what's shown in the player profile after running rescouting function.

(2) Generate a fictional league with default options -> turn the scouting system off, run rescout -> the most recent rating values in the scouting report stilll do not match up with what's shown in the player profile

(3) Generate a fictional league with scouting system turned off during league generation process -> the most recent rating values in the scouting report again do not match up with what's shown in the player profile after running rescouting function.

I am thinking maybe the reason is that scouting system is never turned off for scouting report section? Scouting report/history should record the true values when scouting is off. This is definitely a different behaviour than the past versions. Likely an oversight bug.

p.s. I wish that there is more info in the scouting history than the basic "3 major abilities + OVR/POT". A total snapshot including all ratings of the player would've been really nice. A user definable report update frequency (a day, a month, 3 month, etc.) other than the fixed once-per-year would've been great as well.
