morsy Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 In the draft a player's projected role was "A more talented version of Patrick Kane" so of course I drafted him. 2 weeks later 8 of my 9 scouts now see him as "A poor man's Ryan Tesink". IMO that's too much of a difference, especially since they haven't scouted him again after the draft, so their opinion changed just like that.

viktors89 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 How many times did you scout him? Scouts can have it wrong... especially if they don't have very good ratings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morsy Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Most of my scouts have 20/20 ratings and nine of them had an opinion on him. I scout the draft 3 times per season with 7 scouts, so I think they had enough time to form an opinion. And it simply doesn't make sense that they change their mind after 2 weeks, in the off-season.

marcod Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I've had the exact same experience. Drafted Beck Malenstyn 1st OA in year 2 and my scouts described him as "Crosby with a bigger frame" or something. I had multiple highly rated scouts look at him several times. A couple weeks after the draft he's a "poor man's Brandon Pirri with a bigger frame." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krownroyal83 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Yikes. If scouts did this in real life, they would all be fired on the spot haha. I hope they fix this because this is a serious issue in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
