Sorry, I have the flu and had to get some sleep and was unable to answer your question. Our FI is over 100, so I don't know if it went down or not. Only the commish can see the exact number and answer that one.Coal Sox wrote:CL, the million-dollar question: did your fan interest change? If not, this may very well be OOTP9 fixing a flaw in OOTP7/8 which resulted in too many popular players.
Hopefully another team can take a look at their team and answer this question for us.
I'm sure John's is above 100 as well, so we need another team's input. Tyler, how about you? Did your fan interest level change?

So the persuit of Yuan in 8, where he had high ratings, is not in vain now that 9 is showing him as sucky??? His real potential is not changed and assuredly his ratings in 9 will increase ... should this be my take on the explanation???Borealis - Commissioner wrote:Scouts' ratings reports show up very differently in OOTP 9 vs. OOTP 8. It's going to be an adjustment for everyone. Just wait until you get your first look at the amateur draft pool... I know I'll be receiving a flood of complaints that, "Everyone sucks!" Thing is, no one has become more sucky. This is an artifact of OOTP 9's new scouting system, where accuracy is influenced by scouting budget, your scouts ratings and personal leanings, and much more. It's going to force owners to place a greater emphasis on a player's performance rather than his numerical ratings. Just know that a player that was promising in OOTP 8 hasn't suddenly become a bum in OOTP 9 even if his ratings look a lot uglier.

That should absolutely be your take. Make no mistake about it: "true" potential hasn't changed one bit from version 8 to version 9. The issue is simply how scouts are reporting their opinions. I'm still hoping I can isolate why that's happening so differently in OOTP 9.Thoroughbreds wrote:So the persuit of Yuan in 8, where he had high ratings, is not in vain now that 9 is showing him as sucky???

It ranges 1-5 (from least to most accurate) and defaults at 3. This is a new feature of OOTP9. Perhaps ours didn't default to 3?

My apologies: Last night I posted that we would advance to March 6 on Wednesday night, one day short of the start of Spring Training. Our original schedule called for us to advance to March 7, the very start of Spring Training.
As it turns out, we will in fact stick to the original schedule and advance to March 7. This is because rosters won't expand until that day is reached, and rosters need to have expanded by the time Friday night's sim arrives so that owners can prep for Spring Training.
What this means is that scouting budgets MUST be set by Wednesday night! Please don't forget to attend to this! Once Wednesday night's sim has passed, you will not be able to adjust your scouting budget again until the 2010 preseason. Now is the time to take action on this!
