The drafted players won't be removed from the scouting list till the next year so be careful not to scout your drafted players after the draft.

So let me get this straight...After I do my draft in year 1, i should stick to JUST scouting 17-year olds for next year? And also, since i'm not using 30-team control, is there any feasible way i can weed out this year's draftees so i don't scout them again for next year?

17 year olds won't take the rest of the year.I usually try and scout the remainder of the players with the bar half full after that. All draftees are removed from the scouting list after the year they are drafted, so they won't be on the scouting list next year.It's only a issue the year they are drafted.Only thing you can do in 1 persion is to write down the name of your draft picks so you don't scout them again, unless you want to write down all draft picks during the draft. A certain percentage of players in the draft won't be in the scout list(20%?); they're the ones without a circle next to the name.

After searching, I found this thread... scouting after the draft. Saved me from making a new post.

Being new to the game, this year, I'm surprised that they don't remove the players from the scouting pool that were just drafted.

It's also a little surprising how many things I have to write on paper while playing this game for my players and contracts for when the end of the year comes up, etc...
Yeah, the game is clearly fun and all, but writing info on 150ish names of draftees and then checking them everytime I have to scout a new player after his potential is discovered when obviously, only about 1/30th of them will be on my team (if I decide to sign all of them) is a bit much.
