['Analyse Next Opposition' goes away when assigned to scout]

So is this a bug on in the scouting center where it no matter how many times you assign a specific scout to scout the upcoming opposition, it always goes back to showing scouting pool?  Because that’s clearly what it does.  However, as the above user mentioned, if you go into staff responsibilities>scouting, it shows the scout I assigned to provide opposition scouting reports has that responsibility.  However, I don’t think it works.  

I think it’s idiotic that I’ve played in a league for three seasons, we face a team we’ve played something like 10 matches against, but my scouts have no information on the opponent.  No clue about their strengths and weakness, etc.  I really don’t understand why SI refused to fix this bug.  Last year I just assigned entire scouting report to manually scout every player in the league, just so I’d have some clue who’d I be playing.  Such a waste of time and resources.

It’s no longer 1994 when we live in a “fog” and don’t know anything about other players.  Can’t my scouts at least spend an evening watching YouTube or browsing the internet?  I play and Brazil and Flemengo has won the league something like 5 out of the past 6 years, we’ve played them in league, cup, a bunch of times, yet entering my fourth season my scouts still have no clue who is on their team.  I’m sure I scouted each one of these players manually last year.  Maybe I replaced the scout who did it and he took all the scouting reports with him.  

It’s just incredibly annoying.  SI knows about the bug and refuses to fix it.  Scouting your opponent is a little bit important, or am I wrong?  Thankfully when I started the save I unselected the 1990s-era masking attributes, or we wouldn’t my club wouldn’t even have a clue whether a player can run fast or not.  I really don’t understand the reasoning.  SI screams about all of it’s headline features with advanced data analysis, but if you go to look at a team report, you have have a scout go and get one every time.

It’s like they don’t even care.  Irresponsible.

 

 

[Player who is supposed to retire not retiring]

Solution ended up being I terminated his contract using the in-game editor a few days before it expired, then made him an offer to be the u20s manager which he accepted, with neither the fans nor players getting upset.  I had been sending him on coaching courses while he was playing as this was my hope all along, so everything worked out fine.  You can close this, thanks.

Believe this has now been resolved in a previous update, thank you for your patience. Do let us know if you spot anything similar.

 

FYI I continue to have the same or similar problems with the squad planner resetting.  I find the squad planner to be very useful and spend a lot of time setting it up.  Then I go back to it and discover everything has been completely reset. I don't even bother with it anymore.  It simply doesn't work and never has in FM23.  Complete waste of time.
