Could just raise the price of scouting from 200 to 500. Would cut down on people scouting bunch of people to help lesson the work for silver but can still scout the non home run picks That doesn't really solve the problem of the high-cash teams having a major advantage. If anything maybe do something where before the draft starts, every team can invite 2-3 players in for "pre-draft workouts" or something and those are the only players they can get a full scout for and everyone else they just have to go by the ratings in the draft preview. That way every team can get a scout on the 2-3 guys they really care most about and the others can remain a mystery so some good values might actually fall to the later picks and make them possibly worth something. I did this but it was wildly unpopular, but that may also because I included several stipulations

Hate the idea to remove scouting completely but as a man who rarely does articles and writing stuff I don’t have the issue with raising prices. For those that complain that it just hurts the people that are lower bank rolls that seems to be a then problem. Everyone can creat articles and make money via trades or sportsbook. Called activity. I just feel like if I scout 6 people in the draft normally that only costs me 1200 but if it was raised to 500 I’d probably only scout 2-3. Lowering the amount of work silver has to do "just buy a house"

I'm totally against scouting being turned off, personally, but I'm just going off the discussion that was had last year in predicting what this is about. I also am not arguing against the point, just don't like the idea of scouting being turned off from the perspective of me making the class and Silver editing, I at least at this point pay for the scouts of the players I"m looking at to avoid any potential bias or advantage that might come my way from having any knowledge of the drafts. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the idea that I can make some busts at the top that aren't really a thing because people can scout and avoid those players, is kind of enticing.

Making the right pick is too easy with the current system. The amount of information readily available plus being able to pay a reasonable cost to see the raw ratings including potential has taken all of the mystery out of the draft. It also makes the draft too reliant on me being able to return scouts in a reasonable amount of time to keep the draft moving.
The likely changes to draft scouting will be:
- No scouting raw ratings of draftees - Some small amount of pre draft camps are available to everyone. Something like: Regular Season Awards, Creation Draft Order, Playoff Box Scores. - All other pre draft camps will be available to be purchased for $100 per page - I will click the [Make scouted potential = true potential for draftees] button before uploading each draft.

As long as I can scout and see how badly I fucked up after the fact I'm happy

Overall not a fan, but not a huge opponent of it either so not gonna argue either way. 1 thing I think is weird to me is if this is about "taking the mystery out of the draft" the last point does that on its own. If FBB was A=90+ and B 80+ I'd say this isn't a huge change. But B potential would mean that a guy has 80 or below potential and completely makes them unviable in the lotto.

If this is the direction we go in, can we have internationals play in the pre-draft?
