To me, I think the scouting director really should be the only one you deal with. I think having all the scouts to hire is unnecessary. Just give the scouting director money and let him hire the scouts, and you never even really have to know their names.

To me, hiring individual scouts was the equivalent of setting the price of hot dogs or, maybe more directly, hiring a media relations manager or something. In real life, a team has many, many scouts all over the place. Replicating that would be a waste of game resources. I think you get diminishing returns as you get more detailed, and this is one area that needed to be trimmed back a bit. I can understand why others might disagree, but I've found the current scouting system to be completely unusable.

I agree with everything in this post.
