I've posted a description of the scouting issue to the Sports Mogul
message boards, in particular the Suggestions and AI forum.

If the admins or anyone else would please head here and read
and comment regarding the issue, I'd be appreciative. If I've
overstepped my bounds, I apologize. I actually discussed the
topic a bit with manager 'defense' this evening.

Oh, and I do want to note that even if the game makers made a change,
it's worthy to discuss how admins should approve/deny trades when
every team evaluates players differently because of differing scouting
scores (thus making it more difficult to say a trade was fair or not). This
forum likely isn't the place to discuss that, but wanted to mention it.

Just an update, the folks at Sports Mogul have moved the topic
from being a suggestion/improvement to actually being a bug
in the game. Not sure if it's something they'll plan on fixing
for the next version, but it's nice to see it classified as a bug now.
