Scouting Reports
The main output from your Scouting Director and the division of your Scouting Budget are scouting reports for individual players. These reports can be seen on the Scouting Reports sub-screen of the Player Profile:
The left side of the Scouting Reports sub-screen is some demographic information repeated from the Player Profile. The meat of the scouting reports are on the right side, consisting of numeric reports on the top, and a written summary on the bottom.
On the top, the most two recent scouting reports are shown, one from OSA, and one from your Scouting Director. In this case, we see that OSA last reviewed this player on January 1st, and they thought he was OK (these ratings are on a 1-20 scale). But our scouting director Mark Jones likes him a lot better, and he's seen him more recently.
In addition to the two most recent reports, you are also provided with a list of past reports, so that you can compare how the scouting reports for this player have changed over time. Your scouting director will save one report from each prior calendar year, typically the very first report on the player, plus the report from the start of Spring Training each year. In our example above, you'll notice that Jones' staff tells him that between 1/1/08 and 3/7/09, Walt Sim's contact ability has dropped from 17 to a 15.
