How to Scout: At the bottom of the box score page, there is a button labeled "Scout" and a price. The price is how much it will cost you (from your money or bank) to get the additional information about the game. This covers the time that you and your assistant coaches spend analyzing game data. Clicking on the button will display a popup box asking you if you really want to spend the money to scout the game. If you click on "Ok" the money will be deducted from your cash reserve first, and if you don't have enough there, the bank. If you don't have enough total money in both locations, the scouting will not take place. If you choose cancel from the popup window, you will be returned to the box score view and no scouting will take place (no money will be deducted either). [View Sample]
Reading the Scouting Results: The scouting results will reveal (in no particular order) the sets that a franchise used in the game being scouted. Those sets (both offense and defense) will be shown under the team's box score. Although there is not much information revealed, that information can be valuable. [View Sample]
Offensive Sets: Here you can identify what sets the team played on offense. Only the top 3 sets are shown. It is possible, even likely, that a team played more sets that three. The others, however, are less significant and therefore not reported.. [View Sample]
Defensive Sets: Just like the Offensive Sets, this table shows what sets a team played on defense. As with the offense, the defense also shows only the top three sets played..[View Sample]
Re-Scouting: Once you scout a game the fact that you scouted it is not saved. If you want to obtain the information again and didn't print or save it, you will have to pay for the scouting again. In other words if you want to reference the information again, it is best to somehow save it.
