Not for me. Seems like the initial rankings are a very rough guideline - a lot of managers have mentioned how it wasn't accurate for them. In my case I found 3 players with 5 balls and only 2 1 balls and if I remember correctly 3 2 balls among the bottom group. At worst even if you get a lot of 1 or 2 balls the group demo lets you know which players you absolutely don't want. The probability of the baseline rankings being accurate needs to be a little higher to make scouting the top 10 more useful. But then, you have the option to decide what you want to do - which is what I love about the new system.
