Actually I don't use scouting. I hate it since they used this "new" system of how they are used. I like the "old" way where your one scout is accurate based on his skill. I know it isn't as "real", but the scouting is just right. I believe ootp 5 was the last year it was used, probably before they went to that Sega company (sports interactive). So, its just based off of SISA scouting until they change the scouting method. Back to the trade, you could also look at their stats and the people involved in the trade that seem obvious to me, even before I looked at their rating or stars. I was just checking and am more aware of trades made by computer opponents. I have since lowered trading actively to "low" and treat veterans and prospects as "equals". Thanks for replying. Just to note, I have written in before about changing the scouting or at least have a choice between the two methods. I believe Markus said he may have a choice of how the scouting is going to be used, but a decision hadn't been made at that time. So I'm hoping thats going to be the case.
