CantTouchThis Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 What benefit does a higher reputation scout have over a lower rep one? I have a scout who has regional reputation, his 2 stats "judging player ability" and judging player potential" are both 18 I also have a scout who has national reputation but only 15 on both stats. So which is the better scout? What does reputation do for scouts? Also, does a scout's reputation ever increase or decrease and if it does what dictates the change to the scouts reputation?

Micado Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 A national scout works national so will scout more players, a regional scout work regional and will only be able to judge the players from that region, any player from any other region and his judgement will not be (very) accurate/complete. I always go for national scouts (it they want to come). That's just my 2 pence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frame Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 What benefit does a higher reputation scout have over a lower rep one? None at all. They are just more known in the fotball world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CantTouchThis Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 So basically i would be better of with a local reputation scout with better stats than a world class scout for just searching EU countries then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Wakeford Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 The better a scout's reputation, the more players they will find, and the more detail their report cards will go into. They will also need to see players less than lower reputation scouts to see all of the available information. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty bison Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 That needs to be clarified in-game, as I was unaware of it. Am I right in believing the reputation of other types of staff members doesn't matter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiN8 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks Skorp. I had no idea. I always thought that it was due to the determination attribute or knowledge of a particular country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit odd, I've always assumed reputation was pretty much cosmetic for everything, and that attributes were what mattered. Is the same true for anything else in the game?

Are you saying that this is true in cases where the scouting attributes and knowledge of countries are equal to a scout with a lower reputation? Or are you saying in any situation, despite relevant attributes and knowledge, a national scout has advantages over a local scout with better attributes? If the latter is the case, that seems off.

yugo23 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 So, if I send two JPP=20 scouts (one world class, other regional rep) to get the report about 199 PA player, they will both be able to see that he will be a gem, just world class scout will give more detailed report? If that is the case, what's the point of paying very high wages for world class scout when you can get regional scouts with the same attributes for few thousand euros per year?

alexw Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Just a guess, but those with regional rep won't be poached as much as national etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The benefit is they give a more detailed report. You get to find out more about the player without having to scout the player several times. Each scouting mission also costs money as well.

yugo23 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 But, most importantly, they will not fail and say: "XYZ would be a decent signing" if his PA is great? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah but that is not to do with rep and should not be really. That is to do with their scouting ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMark Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I noticed scouts with higher reps ask for more money. Pretty obvious really, but important none the less Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard76 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 One thing I've noticed during my adventures through FM land is that scouts reputation rarely increases. Coaches and ass man reputations increase quite dramatically though. Any reason for this??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
