i didn't mention discoveries.. just teh IAFA july 2nd guys..
yeah, it might hellp there.. but you are talking about 1 superstar per 10 years and the rest is never making it beyond Short A... reducing to zero may not even change that % much.. that's not even for certain either... either way it's a small portion of the total pie. even it does increase that rate, it can likely be shown that investing elsewhere is a greater net positive even when you consider opportunity costs.
upto you if you think it's worth it.
if you have int'l leagues off, it severely reduces teh ROI of your international scouting budget. this may have changed in ootp19 or even 18, i didn't verifiy it's continued SOP. how much does the additional funding help with accuracy? if it doens't help much, i'd pump it back into int'l scouting, but it'd stil lbe a lower priority.
i'm a rare person.. i invest more into MiL than amatuer scouting... i always pick near last in first round. i trade for more future players than i draft. if that's your dynamic, you should think of doing the same... if you get more from draft, you ned to invest more into draft... nothign i say is automatic and always based oncontext .. sometimes i leave context out and it may not apply to your situtaion... always use logic and rational thought to find a break-even point and do whats best for your style of play...
if you want to test discoveries... make a few teams with a huge budget and some zeroed out and start tabulating results over a very very long period of time - relative to this question many many years will be needed since it's such a small percentage... any difference will easily be masked by volatility of such a rare occurence. at one tim ei thoughtit helped, you can even fin d aforum post of me saying so... i stil saw studs as dicoveries even after i zeroed it out and stil lhas them turned on... no longer the case for me)
scouting discoveriers are just 99% crap. so whether you bump it up to 97% or 95% how much does that help? technically it probably does, but it's a small difference that is easily outwieghed by the benefits of investing elsewhere. really depends on the improvements you see elsewhere and if those don't help much, then yea... go back to spending some on int'l scouting...
i have actualyl turned them off and boosted IAFA #'s. just my preference. honestly, i did it mostly due to the email interuptions, lol.
if i say sim to next scouting report (month), it should sim to the next scouting report and don't bother me. i have everythign unchecked except to interrupt for injuries and such (any dtd amount too). yet, it still interrupts for a silly message about a 16yo old that's likey crap 99% of the time and no immediate decision to be made anyway.
