bug with new scout list players ?

[Marcell Platzdasch]

Sorry to reply on such an old issue but this really is an annoying one. For instance, just this season for me: Level 22, means Scout players range between 130-134 averages. If you would pay real money now, you would want your team to build a quite good, if not perfect team.

Let's head to the Scouts and ask what they find:



Let's say the team would need two new defenders. Ideally, they'd have defensive bulwark (that's what it is called in German - the one with the barrier symbol) as a special skill. Apparently, one of the defenders here does have that. I am waiting for at least 3 consecutive seasons now that a younger one spawns, as this guy is with 28+ of no use for more than 2 seasons and only 130 means he will be unlikely to reach next star area (135-139) before he finishes his career (given 2 games and training per day & injuries).

What we could build is a defensive line that could kick the corners, take the freekicks and penalties. However, as you will usually focus on defensive training with your defenders, they will soon lack of the attacking skills needed (centre pass, long kick, finish). Also no use for them, unless you want an soon-to-be-imbalanced defense that then rather should be attacking.

At the moment, you'll be better off to try and get a young talent at a 5 star level from normal transfer market and just build him up for 1-2 seasons or invest in power training - that'd be costly on the other hand, esp. if you should encounter bad luck with injuries.

And that's just defense. There are literally NO Scout attackers for a quarter year now that could come up with 1-on-1-attacking special skill. And on most other positions, you have the age/low skill problematic once you have a fitting skill (i.e. 1-on-1-goalkeeper is 29/131, winger-phantom is 27/132 and the only playmakers coming through are on the most unlikeliest positions of DML/DMR only...)

And also, the problem with having Scouts in your team is always the next season, as you will play Cup & CL etc against opponents who are 1-2 levels ahead and beat the hell out of your team. But hey, you could build a team that only takes corners and penalties (but loses the cup penalties randomly anyway) on the other hand, so... there's fun... or not?

It's as if Nordeus wants nobody to pay them. Or just doesn't care.

So, rant done.
