Combine

[luckymann]

Can someone please explain this to me? How it is supposed to work?

I scheduled it and am now in the window but nothing is happening, when I right click on guys in the draft pool there's no "Add to combine" option.

Clearly I'm doing something wrong but how am I supposed to know what that might be?

Thanks

You should be able to add players that are in the combine to your watchlist when the combine date begins, and then for something like 5 days until it ends. The combine pool will be revealed earlier than the combine itself, and then after the combine ends (before the draft) you won't be able to add players anymore.
Then once you have added players to your watchlist, you just need to move forward in days and your scout will follow those players at the combine.

Thanks Will, maybe I'm misunderstanding the circumstances in which the combine is activated. Should it come into all saves (historical, fictional, hybrid) or only certain ones? Because I am testing a full historical one and a hybrid historical / fictional one and the thing isn't working in either despite being enabled.

Appreciate the help.

I think historical games have scouting off, and so the combine only runs for show since it's a scouting tool mainly in that case. That might be why it's not working in your games

I have scouting at 100% and still no dice. Bizarre.

OK so I just set up a fully fictional custom game and it is all there. Seems an odd choice not to allow this function on historical games with any level of scouting permitted (if it is indeed a choice) but there you go.

Thanks

Is there a drag and drop feature to add players to the combine? Seems like a bit of work to right click for every player we want to add?

Yep I think a screen a lot of people miss is the team combine scouting screen. You can drag and drop on that screen and it shows more info on the players

Check out the video twins_34 made on the combine. You can mass select the players, right click, and then select "add to combine watchlist".

[luckymann]

Have we had any clarification one way or the other yet as to the availability of this feature in historical games?

Seems a key piece of information, no?

Some historical modes have scouting off. Career mode and I believe random debut have scouting active. Random debut might not, but career mode for sure has scouting active.

nm, sorry

[luckymann]

I can now confirm the combine populates for historical saves where the draft pool has been manually imported.

Thanks! I assume scouting also has to be active within that save?

If you are at 100%, you have scouting effectively off, so as per Will's note here:

That might be the reason why it didn't turn on.

So with what scouting settings are you suggesting the thing should work? Anything other than OFF and 100%?

Yup, just anything but. That's how I read Will's post.

[Will Beh]

There's a setting in the global settings screen called "Use complete scouting system." If that checkbox is not checked, then all players will show as 100% scouting accuracy and the scouting is considered off

[luckymann]

Sorry guys, unless there's something else causing it or I'm missing something obvious, this refutes all of what you're saying. This is a straight historical save started on an earlier version.

Settings shown in top two screenshots; (lack of) results in the bottom one.
