A player getting 5 on first game played must be immediately benched, and train until he is ready.

Scouts used to have random motivation upon purchase, may be they make the scouts even more difficult to use by tuning down their default motivation value, so token buyers have to use tons of green packs too, to raise it up to reasonable levels that they can actually be used.

Untrained scout getting form 6 on first game is pretty normal from my experience, but 5 is a completely unusable state.
