Because they're trying to fit all three divisions into one letter grade system. That is A+ for divisions 2 and 3. D1 schools are just going to have to spring for level 4. Which is why they have a bigger scouting budget

I'm still undecided. Sometimes I think this will be good for the game, other times I think it'll kill the game. Regardless, the hashtag may be a bit too harsh.

One thing I've noticed while scouting, the level 1 DEF rating will be useless for guards. Had a level 1 C DEF rating for a guard and he ended up being A+ DEF with F- shotblocking.

Because they are trying to fit all three division into one letter grade system

Oh what a good idea, maybe lets not either make letter grades by division or make letter grades apporiote to fit all 3 divisions and not put an A+ out to grades that are 78

That is A+ for divisions 2 and 3.

Maybe for D3 but thats not really even A+ for D2

D1 schools are just going to have to spring for level 4. Which is why they have a bigger scouting budget

Lets have four levels of scouting but maybe 1-3 completely useless! ruining have the point of the update making recruiting fun, now you just have to click scout until level 4 much fun to be had.

Honestly how did we not come up with these idea's sooner!

terrible defense of a stupid decision by seble

I expect that level 1 will be pretty useless in general. Maybe tells us to stay away from F's, but that's about it

I mean SF with F's in rebounding are good with blue potential

Or a PF with level 1 F in offense but level 4 is blue LP and green per from sub 20 ratings and with 80+ development possible that will for sure turn into a C/D offense with chance of being A/B pffensive skill.

so F's just mean one part of the level 1 rating might just start really low.

For the recruit pool advanced sort, I'd like to be able to show multiple "scouting level" groups in the same list (i.e. filter out just level 1's), similar to how it's set up for the categories on the right side of the page

I like it so far. It's interesting to me, and I can see the potential to discover players that maybe others will not find.

I also believe I saw b+ that was 58. We have grades A, B, C, D, and F. Why not just make every letter worth 20. So, for instance, 81-100 would be an A . Then 94-100 would be A+. 87-93 would be A and 81-86 would be A-. That seems simple enough and would be easiest to explain to new players. Also at d2 I would be pleased with that ath but would not consider it elite which I take a+ to mean.

That actually sounds like a really good suggestion to me

It would be helpful to have a detailed schedule somewhere like you can access in HBD (particularly useful during free agency/other offseason stuff). My big question right now: when do I need to complete my scouting by? I've got $75k to use, do I need to do that now or do I have days/week? Nothing I easily found seems to give me an answer to that...

OK, after spending over an hour on recruiting. I think I like it. I have spent 10K so far and have 32K left. And I already have two of the guys at Level 4 that I want. I have a total of Five Level 4's and about 20 level 3's. I did coach searches within 400 miles and I still have the big western camp on June 2 nd. I can spend about $120 or so on the Level 3's to get them to level 4. Overall, I think I can have a whole bunch of guy's at level 4 by the time I spend my cash.

I like the Save Searches feature as it was one of my biggest grips in the old game. Thanks Seble for that one.

And I do like the new color code but could be good having the purple change to orange. And I can live with the coaches corner as a button since I can see the latest messages right above it, and If I see new ones, then I can check it out. And I like that now I can see the site mail inbox since before, I could go a week before reading some that came.

I was against this in the beginning but now I think this is going to be a good improvement. I will be delving deeper into this after the camp on June 2nd. But so far, I like what I see.

If I can suggest two things, I agree with changing the color purple to yellow or orange. And why not just dump DUR completely?

I agree with dw. There's not much of a guide, as this is more complex.

I do like the 4 levels of recruiting, but don't understand the context of when it should be used throughout the season. Also, the design feels clunky to me. It feels counterintuitive for new users (without some sort of helpful tutorial).

GREAT suggestion.

Having d1-d3 all with the same letter grades makes no sense to me. I uncover an "a" player overall only to find he is a low potential 60 athlete and defender. That's a good d3 player, average d2 and poor d1... Definitely not an a player,
