Were there any updates on this bug? I'm seeing the same thing. Out of the blue, my scouting budget goes into the negative, even though I don't have the shortlist update nor am I sending scouts outside scouting range. I shouldn't be spending anything outside the budget. This kind of kills lower league saves.

I'm not sure if something was changed in this edition, but I'm running out of scouting budget and I can't figure out why. What are the things that require scouting budget funds? Here's what I have so far: - scouting players outside the scouting range - keeping the update shortlist reports checkbox ticked - asking for team reports outside your scouting package (not sure if this one is true) - setting an ongoing search within the country, when your range is within the league (not sure about this one either - but it's not possible to limit the scout to within the league) I'm not doing the first two things in the list, so my guess is on the other two. Is there something else that could be costing some of that precious budget?

I'm starting a save where I loaded a single country as playable, all the other countries as view-only, and a large database with every single player on it (a total of 478k). I get a half star in performance and a warning that I'm going over the 125k recommended player limit, but... how bad will it be? Is it mainly a save size issue, or will I actually get strong performance problems? Anyone runs these kinds of saves on a routine basis?

Imagine you're a manager. You need to attend these before every single game, when the game ends, after the game, during the week, when you're just arriving at work one day, mid-week, after some random training session and so on and so on and so on. In all these situations, the reporters ask the same routine and mundane questions. You can't be creative with your answers because they'll probably go after every tiny bit of extra information you provide, and that will only generate more questions to be answered later on. It's boring, repetitive and a painful chore you could definitely live without, that brings absolutely zero value to the sport. I feel exactly the same way towards press interactions in the game, so at least we can say their implementation in the game is incredibly realistic. And we even have the advantage of being able to send our assistant manager to some of'em.

He was probably released from the club in your save and, after some time without any club picking him up, he decided to retire and become a coach. You can probably check his history to confirm when he was released and retired.
