chelman42 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Should I trust scout reports of players and the star rating which they give the players or should I just look at the players attributes myself? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Both, compare them. If they player plays well but isn't rated by your coaches then who cares. I had a player that was rated so highly, up to one of the best at the club, yet played terrible. He had average ratings of 5.5-6.5, I'm not sure why, he had all the stats besides jumping, but just failed at defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I'd go for a bit of both. The attributes are the most important thing but the stars will give you a good idea if he's likely to improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelman42 Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 but are the stars accurate and do they depend on the quality of the coach? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 The stars are not 100% accurate. They depend on the attributes of the coach/scout and they are also just opinions from the staff, rather than just a report on the actual ability/potential of a player.

chelman42 Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 thanks, I might just ignore them and make my own judgement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 They're definitely useful (in fact, the only thing there is) for judging potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Can I like disable stars? They influence me too much and make me go against players... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 They're definitely useful (in fact, the only thing there is) for judging potential. Exactly. For older players it is less important as what you see is what you get, but they are essential if you are looking for a player who will improve as he gets older.

You could remove the stars columns from the player search/shortlist screens but you will still see them when you look at the scout reports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
