Doing the draft by copying from the scout reports and placing in a spreadsheet is a large enough task as is. It would be a little easier if talent and experience were numeric instead of graphic stars.

You musty have missed the word "copy".

I copy from the email and paste into a spreadsheet.

Do you manually type all data into your spreadsheets?

If you wanted to argue you could have said "become a supporter" and get the csv. Now that would have been a semi-legitimate arguement!

Yes, but not all. I downlowd the list and add only, talent, INT, TW, SPE, STR and important skills for the position.

Not sure how many understand what I'm saying so I'll elaborate a little.

With OOO Calc you can copy data from a web page, and then by making certain selections when you paste into Calc, you can get all the raw data into the spreadsheet. I do this here and at TOG.

So when you have stars instead of numbers it is not nice. I am very thankful that this exists for player display (graphic vs Numeric in settings).

The best way to deal with this is to make scouted draftees visible like your own players.

As also suggested previously, it would be great to be able to save up 4 weeks of unused scout reports (to a max of 96 maybe), and then, funds allowing, scout the entire draft. And then you simply click on players in the draft to see their skills.

I suppose it could be helpful...but seems kind of a little thing to worry about.

Personally I type it in manually for 2 reasons.

1. I only input the relevant data per position, that way I can have a composite score. ( I suppose you could download just positions at a time for that)

2. By typing it in I have a better understanding of the pecking order of the draft. It is another way to have a firm grasp of what is out there.
