Listen, this thing is coming soon - real soon.

However, we want to make sure it works before we release the final product. We don't want to be like a software company that releases a console game and then has to release several patches to fix all of the items that do not work just so that they could rush it to market more quickly so that they can make money more quickly.

We don't have that financial burden - we do not have to rush something to make more money.

To quell fears, any scouting you've spent money on will be available when the new scouting system comes out (and please note that this is actually a new scouting system, and that the actual draft event itself will remain the same).

I'll be glad to answer any questions that are not "what precise moment will the new scouting system be released" =)

Since you put it that way here goes:

In the new system, are we able to scout specific positions and/or individual characteristics (e.g. scout PGs only or scout 7 footers with PG characteristics) ?

Hmmm, I actually like that idea to an extent.

For me it would end the frustration of finding out at season's end that, although I train guards, most of the money spent on scouting went to scouting PFs! :P

You wont be able to specifically target that information before scouting, but you will be able to see the most likely position and approximate height for players after doing the appropriate scouting.

You know how in the old system the draft list was released when the playoffs start and you have 3 weeks of managing your list. In the old system the scouting update that occurs with the Monday financial update was for next season. In the new season can we gain scouting points every week up until the draft or is there a cut off date for the next season like there was with the previous one?

Good question.

You'll know when we release the system - and so will I!

This means we are going to know the age of the scoutee from the get go or do we have to spend a point or two to know this?

According to the original news post, age & height are the two things you get from the combine, so you'll have to spend 10 points to learn this, but you get it for all the draftees.

Will we have a scouting points count somewhere ?

Will we have some free scouting like with the old scouting system ?

The answer to second question is no,and as for the second,probably yes.

I want what all men want...I just want it more.
