Yeah, so I hired a scout with a 10 jpa, and 14 jpp. A year on, and knowing the attributes change for staff now, he has changed to a 5 jpa, and 17 jpa. wtf? How does he drop 5 points in jpa?

You know I noticed that too, Doc, and I thought I was going off my head

Glad to see it's been noticed by someone else....and I have no idea how to explain it.

Maybe he's not been doing his job properly?

Just sitting on his arse all day drinking beer?

That's what I do.

Seen it as well. Also seen it go back up...

Never seen it increase from the base value he had when I hired him though.

Could have something to do with adaptability if he is from another country I guess.

I've had one with an obscure repuation go the opposite way, from single figures to 17/18 in two seasons.

Don't scouts and other staff have potentials, like players, and can get better with time and practice?

And I've noticed that judging attributes for scouts seem to change depending on what they do; if they are sent to look for young players, their jpp increases, forcing the jpa to go down to free up potential.

I think.

If memory serves, they didn't improve in FM06, but they can go both ways in FM07. Which is good and bad. Good if you sign a scout who turns into a genius. Bad if, like me, you sign a player as a coach and - the moment he retires as a player - his stats drop dramatically.

My scout in question has been sent to look at 21 and unders, so that would be a sensible explanation, though absolutely stupid on SI's part. Because a scout is looking at younger players means he gradually has less and less idea of how well they are currently playing? That is worthy of a giant WTF???
