FOF 8 Bugs

A place for us to note bugs in this new version.

My draft_personal.csv file isn't being updated when I export. Sort of defeats the purpose of scouting.

You mean 'export scouting data' after interviewing? I don't typically interview so I haven't checked mine.

Yes, I meant export scouting data. You don't interview??!!

Edit: Of course, everything is now being updated after I post this.

I'v conducted very few interviews and only for potential 1st and or 2nd round picks. There are "7" picks and only only 12 interviews. If you consider only two rounds, four potential seems like a lot, but there are 64 picks in the first two rounds. Furthermore, if you consider that you may have 2 or more positions of interest, the interviews becomes even more spread. I would love to be able to "scout" for the entire draft, but that is a luxury we do not have (unlike the real deal).

I agree and rely a lot on interviews. However, this was a game design decision, not necessarily a bug. In FOF 2007, we had 60 interviews.

If there is one area where the game can be improve it is on the importance of scouting. The quality of the scouting department can determine how accurate the scouting is. It can also determine the number of "scouts." For example, some teams can have 12 interviews while other 60 depending on the quality and importance you place on it. He just redid the playbook, so maybe another area will be emphasize for the next update of the game.

I would love if the drafting asect of the game got deeper. It would be awesome to have scout teams that you can send to check a player out, have interviews, see their college stats, have different scouts having different opinions within your own team, I think that would add a lot to the game

Didn't think this was possible, my new left tackle has a popularity rating of negative one.

Can't figure out how to export. What's the magic words?
