Lots of nice changes, some big, some small. Those new skill games open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com are pretty cool. I quite like some of the new animations. But come on, that’s not why we play it – we want to scout. The next Messi isn’t going to find himself. So here it is, the FIFA 14 scouting guide. Contents 1. Choosing a scout 2. Where to look 3. Spotting a great player on your reports 4. After you’ve promoted players & the May update 5. Other tips and info 6. Summary 1. Choosing a scout Once again EA have stuck with what they know and kept the scouting system largely similar to last year’s effort. There are a couple of changes here and there, and I’ll run through them in this article. But first of all, let’s have a look at what you can expect from scouts, as well as the basics of hiring a scout and packing him off to look for emerging youth talent. To hire a scout, go to the Office tab, then click on Youth Staff. There will be three slots available for hiring new scouts, so click on one of these and you will be presented with a list of five scouts to choose from, all of varying prices and abilities. Like last year, you will have a couple of scouts from the nation in which your team plays (e.g. Spain if you’re doing a Real Madrid career). There will also be a few other scouts, all of which will be from a similar part of the world. If you don’t like the look of any of the scouts, advance to the next Sunday and they will have changed. However, this is where it’s slightly different to previous years. The scouts will almost always be from your ‘home region’. That is, if your team is from Spain, you will have a selection of scouts from southern Europe – defined in the game as including Croatia, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Turkey. If you hire one of these scouts, they are replaced by a scout from the next region in a pre-defined cycle. The regions rotate by a specific order, namely: Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa, South America, North America, before returning to Northern Europe. In previous versions of the game the regions would simply open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com rotate every week; now you have to buy a scout to make this happen. Furthermore, the process can get reset when you get to a Sunday. If you start with Southern Europe and want to get a scout from North America, you’ll have to have start on Monday and have two scout vacancies to hire and fire scouts. Hire two scouts, then fire them as soon as they arrive and hire the two new scouts who replaced them (they will be from the next two regions in the list). You need to start early in the week because when you get to Sunday the process resets – if you hire a South American scout on Friday, by the time he’s arrived and ready to be fired on the Sunday the order will have been reset, so his replacement will be from Southern Europe (if that’s your home region). Annoying, but something to bear in mind. Yet unlike the previous two years, sending a scout to his own country doesn’t seem to give you any tangible bonus (or if it does, it’s so minor as to make no real difference). So if you want to find the next Brazilian superstar, you shouldn’t need to worry about rotating the scouts to get a Brazilian one; a high-rated one from any nation should still be excellent and you’ll save money on hiring scouts. And although you can’t send two scouts to the same country at the same time, because there is no ‘home nation bonus’ you won’t lose out if all your scouts are from the same place. What does matter, however, is the scout’s rating in both experience and judgement. But what do each of these mean? Last year user Lelouch pointed out that a scout’s judgement rating affects his chances of finding the best players in the following way: S TARS BRO NZE S I LV E R G O LD P LATI NUM 1 75% 17% 5% 3% 2 67% 22% 7% 4% 3 50% 36% 9% 5% 4 30% 52% 11% 7% 5 20% 53% 17% 10% Here’s what I said about it last year: This table refers to a scout’s odds of finding good players based on his judgement rating (as opposed to the odds of open in browser PRO version Are you a developer?

Gold and Platinum. Where to look One of the first things you’ll notice when deciding where to look for talent is that trips to different regions will cost different amounts. this is how much a three month trip would cost by region: Northern Europe: £48.

The same is true for the attribute ranges – if a player’s strength range is 43 – 85. certain regions do not specialise in certain player types. These are the ones you should move for straight away.g. Perhaps someone who does have access to it would be able to confirm it – if you do know. I don’t have direct access to the game code for FIFA 14 so I can’t confirm whether this is still the case. So if you want a good defender. But if you’re not sure whether a player will be good enough.g. be sure to leave a comment below.Because the scouting system in FIFA 14 is based on the same core as the FIFA 13 scouting system.g. say. what I am sure of is that. If that middle open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd. good players will have an upper potential range (e. These ranges basically mean that your scout is estimating how good the player is. and I found very promising players with a wide variety of player types.

Anyway. 44 – 58) and a potential range (e. this doesn’t mean it is currently 43 and can grow to become 85. the 89 in 67 – 89) in the late 80s or 90s. what it means is that your scout thinks the player’s strength value is somewhere between those two numbers. 3. The very best players will have a minimum potential value of at least 70 (e. you will see a list of potential players to sign to your academy. the narrower these ranges become. you just have less of a chance of doing this if you look in. As time goes on your scout is also able to pin down his position and player type. rather. Of course. You may well find good defenders in Italy. but the best player I found there was actually a goalkeeper. They will most likely be 15 or 16. They will have an OVR range (e.

There are also similar ranges for a few of the player’s stats. I sent three scouts to Spain. Spotting a great player on your reports When your scout brings back his report. you can find great players in any country. a country renowned for its technically gifted players. not because they ‘specialise’ in defenders.com . However. What I would do in this case is sign the player and then wait until the May update.com . chances are his OVR will go right up and he will be well worth the investment. which is very good. Now let’s have a look at a player who I probably wouldn’t sign: open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd. but look at his potential. We can take a rough guess that his actual potential is around 83. sign the player. Let’s have a look at some examples of players I would and would not sign to show you what I mean: See full image This player’s OVR doesn’t look very good (especially compared to FIFA 13).number looks good enough for your team. compared to the last player) because his potential is probably lower. Of course. But you can expect to (hopefully) find better players than this. Come May he may not actually grow that much (at least. open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd. but his potential range is nowhere near as good – we can assume his actual potential is around 74. you may find that this player would fit in well with your team and could make a real difference.com . definitely go ahead and sign him.See full image His OVR range is actually higher than the last player. if that’s the case. Just save the day before the scouting report is due to arrive. you can still reload scouting reports. and that’s fair enough. just quit the career and reload it.See full image Now I don’t think I need to tell you whether to sign this beast or not! When you find a player like this and the minimum potential value is already so high. You will still be able to find great players without doing this. These are the very best players out there and are not to be missed. So while we could guess his potential is around 85. and that scouting reports are random (or if there are sets. then advance to the next day.

Advance again and the players on your scouting report will be different.com . much harder to find youth players with 65 OVR or higher right off the bat – you usually have to wait until May for them to reach this sort of OVR.

Keep him in the academy until May and you could find that he grows phenomenally well.com . potential 72-94 As a test I promoted them as soon as possible. youth players only grow once per year (1st May). potential 76-94 One was rated 47-63. If you promote a youth player in April then you essentially lose an entire year’s worth of growth. I can’t stress that enough. not OVR. you need to start focussing on potential. potential 77-94 One was rated 47-63. Whilst this was true for FIFA 13. don’t discard him. purely because player growth was so poor. 65 and 65. as that’s what will matter in the long run. I then went back to before they were promoted and this time waited until the May update. However. there are three key statuses to look out for that give an indication of how good your player might become. which was pretty disappointing to be honest. For example. Funnily enough this is actually the opposite of how I did it in FIFA 12 – back then I would look for OVR instead of potential. What does this mean for your scouting reports? Look for good potential ranges. If you wait until May.As with FIFA 13. Below are their stats when they were first scouted: One was rated 52-70. So if you find a player with a great looking potential but weak OVR range. the second two with a 4*/5* scout). and they came out rated 54. in my test career I had three particularly promising players (the first was found by a 3*/3* scout. it is even more the case this year because it seems to be much. so it is vital that you wait until then in order to maximise your youth players’ growth. Go to the Squad Report page (under the Squad tab) and look to see if your players have one of the following: “Showing great potential” – potential 80 – 85 “An exciting prospect” – potential 86 – 90 “Has potential to be special” – potential 91+ open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd. and this time they came out rated 67. Note that some players have “Has that special something” as their status. However. most likely – but it’s interesting that it can be manipulated.com . On FIFA 13 players with that kind of potential would be valued at several million pounds when promoted. Advance.000. lo and behold. don’t despair. meaning he could reach OVR 91+. get one of these statuses once he reaches 60 OVR). “Has potential to be special” another and then nothing at all on a third attempt. Whilst in the academy he had a very promising potential range. I then went to the squad report page and. Usually it’s only going to be a small change – his potential going up or down by one point. so EA have clearly reined that in a bit. However.000. This year it’s clearly different. after all. So if you go to promote a player and his value is only £50. It should also be noted that you won’t see these statuses if your player’s OVR is less than 60 (but he could. much lower than on FIFA 13. so don’t release a load of youth products if their — …now y ou don’t value is lower than you expected! open in browser PRO version Are you a developer?

They are. here’s some big news – youth player potentials can change if you reload around the May update. — Now y ou see it… The impact of all this may not be massive – players can exceed their potential. of course. it’s something I’ve never seen before and is a fascinating thing to see. if you played FIFA 13 last year. save the day before the May update. for example. EA just seem to have toned it down a little this year. forget everything about youth player valuations. Here’s a good example. In my test career I found a GK who came out of the academy rated 62 at age 16. So as I said. he had the ‘Has potential to be special’ status. For example. I’ve actually had a player who had “Showing great potential” one time. so he could reach amazing heights regardless of what his status is – but still. which is different to “Has potential to be special”. Youth player values have also changed and there is potential for confusion. it doesn’t relate to his potential. generally. promote a youth player and his status may be “An exciting prospect”. It doesn’t mean he’ll turn out to be useless. Reload and do it again and this time it might be “Has potential to be special”. yet when I went to offer him a contract he was only worth £110. the former means a player has the flair trait and can do extra flicks and passes. nor will you see it once your player reaches age 22. 89-94 POT. 55-59 OVR.

What I’d recommend is that you sort the free agents by position. you can’t instantly see their OVR and know that they are worth signing. EA seem to have finally addressed the ‘wrong-footed’ issue with scouted players (hallelujah!). Goalkeepers. youth players can now have multiple positions. advance one day at a time (saving each time you advance and don’t get the message). but it’s a nice touch. This can require a lot of patience – sometimes it will take several goes – but eventually there will be a time when you don’t get the message and so shouldn’t risk losing him Playmakers can still have amazing mental stats and poor technical stats. not his listed positions). when every youth player ever found would coincidentally be born on exactly the same day. I have one whose listed positions are GK/LM/ST. then by the second report he was already 17. That’s pretty much non-existent now Finally. quit and reload (this is one reason why it’s important to save regularly). or 5’5” 200lb players who had clearly been fed too much ice cream. Not massively important. I used to regularly find 6’5” beanpoles who weighed 145lbs. and after an in-game week of doing this he may not ask to be promoted. Good one. I know. In FIFA 13 you would very often find that your left-sided scouted players would be right-footed. Yep. This was extremely common and very annoying. it doesn’t mean much in practice (look at his stats to work out where he’s best. did y ou? realistic EA also seem to have sorted out the weight/height matching.com . making things much more — See?

The only slight hiccup is that goalkeepers can have multiple positions. especially when their weak foot was also poor. and vice versa. but this seems to be rarer than in FIFA 13 (although it still happens annoyingly often) Youth players have different birthdays – I scouted one player who was 16 in the first report.

Greece and Turkey). but I suppose that tames the temptation of promoting a prospect too early. Glad I could help a little bit. I am glad you finally had to to write it with your busy schedule. The relative percentage increase is what really surprised me. I could understand a small percentage difference between regions where more talent appears, but it does seem to provide an incentive for scouting certain countries/regions if on a stringent budget. What I would really love to see is a bit more realism in the game (ways to interact with players besides just increasing wages). For example, an option of offering an older player a coaching position if he keeps playing for decreased wages to prevent him from retiring; or a way to promise younger players playing time in the future when they say they want out; or even a way to bribe academy players to stay in longer to prevent having to reload when they want out. One last thing I’ve always wanted is a way to have a club partnership – could be anything from what Udinese has with Granada to Barca and Barca B or even Sporting KC and Orlando City (if you follow MLS). I think this system could be implement in place of the national team managing screen (instead of going to a national team menu, it could take you to the affiliate club menu where you would have limited control of that team’s management).
