Beyond that, my personal query. If you have scouts off, that implies, at least to me, that you'd rather defer to your own judgment with regard to the players, whether it be ratings, stats, or combination-based. To that end, what import would these suggestions actually hold for you? Wouldn't you turn them off if it were an option?

Also, I agree that tracking development in-game is problematic. While I have never selected Track All Player Development (whatever the label), I've always presumed it offered up the same reports you get on your own players; vague at best, but doing so for the entire league. Not a report I would want to have generated on a regular basis. On the other hand, unlike you, obstensibly deferring to your own judgment given hard and fast real ratings, I'm inclined to favor ambiguity, allowing me to utilize intuitive management skills, as is RL, rather than exercising practical mathematical predictions with actual data not normally acquired in experience.

None of this is, in any way, a personal indictment on your style. I intend to provoke only your thoughts on the matter.
