It might have to do with a bug this week where players didn't see what the scout told them.

This is the guy I pulled this week.. 6 stars seems impressive but... who knows.. he is a hell of a lot better than my other schmucks..

Some talk in the conference about star ratios, and apparently people think three youth academy stars corresponds to one normal star.

Mistfit had the strongest talent of the CDZ cup. My pull was far worse than one of the standard line up players.

My second week of pulling was not so good..

This was the best of the 3 choices:

My second week calls: 3 versions of there isn't talent out there that is up to our standards. Really annoying as my first weeks pull was weak

[lol]

I'm not sure what the meaning of "talented" is here. May be he has some training ability number which reflects how rapidly this player will train if trained? Or it is same for all? Anyhow, we don't know how the system functions, so that is all speculation. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that there is some feature but we don't know its mechanism and how to use it. That is rather frustrating. My assumption is that all these "talented" and "hopeful" remarks are somewhat meaningless and it is all coming down to some chance of database dice throw.

Most people tend to think that the talent stated tells the training speed in this skill.

BTW, the scout doesn't necessarily name the best skill of the player, so for example a player that has disastrous in the named skills could be much better in other skills.

Are all of your scouts in the same region? If so, I would that to happen.



EDIT:: I wonder if each week there isn't a pool of talent in each region and everyone who has a scout in a particular region pulls from that pool.

Hmm, weird.. I pulled a goalkeeper and got the following:

So I want a keeper and get info on his hopeless scoring... though if allrounder = poor counts all skills, things might not be as bad as it looks. Though of course it could be this isn;t a keeper at all, even though I wanted one...
