Im thinking about starting my first LLM-game, and there was just one thing I was a bit curious about.
I understand that you are supposed to only sign players that your scouts has found for you, but I find this highly unrealistic. As the game advances, I cant really see the problem with starting to sign players that are doing well in your game, aspecially regens. When a player i.e. is top scorer in your league three years in a row, is it not more likely that you would be fully aware of this player and able to send your scouts to check him out, or even assume that you have seen him play so many times that you your self knows what he is capable of, and therefore could try to sign him without any scouting?
Of course this might be a problem for those who play LLM exclusively or have done it many times, as the same players might probably tend to be those high perforfers, and you might in other word have 'pre-game'-knowledge about them, but as for me, who have never played, nor have any knowledge about players in these divisons I feel this is a way of playing I think should be somewhat accepted.
Im probably going to be using this way of playing either way, because this is what I find most realistic, but I would sure like some thoughts on my idea, here.
Also, sorry if this has been a topic before, but I had know idea what search to make to have these kind of topics turn up.
FWIW, when you've been in the game for that long scouting is not the only way you can unearth players. All players must be scouted before buying though.
Your issue with known regens seems a little odd to me. Don't regens have random names anyway so pre-game knowledge wouldn't come into it. In any case, not too many LLaMas start multiple games in the one league.
Sending a scout to look over a player mentioned in a media item (such as the top-scorer) is already covered in the guidelines.
Not sending a scout is never going to be realistic. Even if he's the most famous player of his generation, your club would send a member of staff (scout/chairman/yourself/other in real life) to check him out for form and fitness, and the like. Our scouts are the most realistic way to simulate this in the game, as there is no other mechanism by which we can 'examine' the player. Signing him sight unseen would be unprofessional and bad business. And therefore not realistic.
As long as someone actually looks at him in a game situation, I can live with that. My main point of signing him sight unseen being unrealistic still holds. :p
