Hi, people. I tried to look at how really important scout's attributes are, comparing reports from various scouts on the same players, and it somehow seems to me that the reports are pretty much the same. Has anyone taken a more thorough look at this? How would a scout with judging player's potential, current ability etc. attributes of 20 "rate" a certain player, compared to the scout with all attributes valued 1? What do you think?

Judging player ability
Key attribute if you want your scout to find the best players. Because having a higher value will give quicker and better results. This attribute will help the scout determine the current ability of a player.

Judging player potential
Also vital, but only if you are planning to use a scout to find young players. A scout with a higher rating for this attribute will give you a better and more complete report.

Adaptability
A scout could be spending a lot of time abroad. So, he will need to able to adapt to different cultures and lifestyles.

Determination
A determined scout will never give up whilst on a scouting trip. Without determination a scout could stop too easily whilst he is on a scouting trip, but a scout with high determination will motivate himself to find more players.

Tactical knowledge
Some members of your scouting team should be given the assignment to look for new players. One should be assigned to make a report on your next opponent. He will not only rate the squad, but he will also give you tactical advice. This scout will give you a report with important information like:

Expected formation
key players
Last results
And more…

Motivation
If you send your scout on a long scouting trip around the globe, he will need to motivate himself to keep on looking.

Man Management
An attribute which is needed for your Chief Scout (if you have one), who is responsible for setting assignments for your scouting team.

Thanks, Burak. I know all that. That is all "theory". I'm actually interested if those particular values (judgement) give different scout report on the same player.
