Scouting Focus?

Larryk007 · 04-10-2024, 01:59 PM

My scout finds and signs international players, but one of my scouts always finds pitchers, so my international complex is mostly pitchers. Does the scout have a focus besides 'favored tools...ect" or is the selection random? Therefore, what I am seeing is just a random selection and just happens to be pitchers?

I am 99% sure it's just random.

In all of my years with OOTP I always start with my scout settings all on default and then just tweak them when needed as I progress - and I've always got a good mix of different positions with their international discoveries.

My guess is the coin might have flipped heads for you a few more times than expected if you had a large run of pitchers, because I'm fairly certain that the discoveries are random positions.
