I'm sure this has been brought up, but I couldn't find the thread.

Scouting the whole draft board costs 240K and takes 4 weeks. Would it be possible to make a feature where you could "purchase" scouting for all players and then be able to download the resulting CSV like I can for my Roster? You could make it cost something like 300K or even 500K to get a little more cash out of the game.

Being able to download a CSV would make it much easier to import into the Player Evaluation Worksheet as well as save hours of work scouting each player and transcribing the resulting scouting reports over to the PEW.

This was discuessed here Draft scouting and it's on to-do
However, a CSV download function is not planned so far as I know since the scouting reports are not saved separately. You just have the incoming mails with the scout reports available.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect the reports to be saved separately, but I imagine you have a database of players that would be easy to pull the CSV information for user who have "bought" the full draft scouting package.

To be honest i wanted this in past

But now i prefer not to have it

While collect data i get more and more a better impression of the value of player

And so as i say before i repeat: when it is available then it should cost more than the single scout reports! It like paying a service fee and let other do the work

I agree that I probably learn more about the player by looking at the scouting report, but there is just too much chance of me transposing numbers or writing a 4 that looks like a 9 or a 2 that looks like a 7. Plus, it gives me more time to dissect the PEW in every way I can imagine for each set of players.

Yeah, that's why I said to charge up to $500K for this rather than only the $240K it would cost to just scout each player.

With money around alot i think 500K is a bargain

You can allways use a spreadsheet to keep track. That should prevent that from happening.

I still wish once you have scouted a player that the player stats would show on his page instead of getting lost in scouting inbox

I do. But getting them from scouting report to the spreadsheet is where the large amount of time and chance for messing up happens.
