Hello! I've been playing FM for a while and have a couple of saves active. I usually tend to buy a couple of scouts that I'm familiar with/read up on guides to whatever team I play and have been doing quite well until....well now.
I decided that it would be fun to take control of a big team and try to have as many homegrown players as possible for a new save...which ended me up with Barcelona.
As I said earlier I've read up on guides and tip on what scouts I should aim for and that can deliver good reports. That, together with the experience of other saves and the scouts I used in them made me think of trying them out again. But not a single one of the recommended scouts find anything!
Even though they have 100% knowledge of their own country they end up with 0 reports. I tried to lower every possible perk that they look for but they end up with the same result - 0! It's driving me insane as I can't buy or even find out or discover new prospects until they "bloom up" so to speak. I've tried to change head scout and every possible manager role I can think of to affect why my scouts are finding 0 players but nothing works. If I send them to scout tournaments/countries/regions/world they still end up with absolutely nothing to report.
I had a theory that by taking over a big club the requirements/CA/PA would have a higher standard as the scouts went out but this is...ridiculous! Even if I send out my best scouts to repeatedly scout a country/region they have 100% knowledge about they find nothing. I'm loosing my mind, I can't find regens unless I explore each country/league by myself and it's somewhat draining....
Could it perhaps be a bug? Or am I missing something here?
