Master League - scouting players

[pstroink]

Hello everyone!

I got an important question concerning player stats in ML.

Using scouts of the highest level gives you the advantage to know player stats when scouting..

But the only way to watch and sign your desired players is to click through the club/nationality pages and add them to the scout's shortlist. You can't search for players with specific abilities like shot accuracy or pace.. Yes, it's possible to use the advanced search option in ML to sort out height and position, but that's just a little help..

I remember pes on PS2 where you had partial masked attributes so you had some clue. No way I'm going to scout every single player manually. We're talking about an enormous amount of players in the database.

In FIFA you have masked stats, but some are visible.. They got things right which is a pitty I think because PES has much better gameplay.

Anyone else has an idea or opinion on this?

Cheers

I normally select a minimum overall eg 80 left midfielder depending on your budget and what you need.

I have the top scout he can tell you about a player without watching him.

Scout information isnt that useful if a centre midfielder can play on the right , the scout always says ' tricky winger' even if his stats say otherwise.

Yes, but scouts still don't look random at players at various teams. I just want to see if a player has a good stats at acceleration or speed. Want to see small bits of stats of all players without scouting them as individuals.

It doesn't make sense to me to randomly look at players which I haven't heard of but could be the next best thing.

I know of course some players with good stats, but those are all well known stars. Want to get to know the undiscovered goldmines.

They took the search engine out of the game a couple of years ago. Its bullshit, but I guess we'll have to make do.

An alternative is to go to edit mode, select edit player and then hit X (xbox 360) to sort the players. Then you can sort by 1 specific stat like dribble speed for example.
Not the ideal solution for ML though as obviously players will improve/worsen their stats over time...
