I scouted a CF with 92 potential and a 71 ovr. He was the last prospect I scouted before the draft, and I was shocked to see him available at the 25th pick, since he was the only prospect in the draft with a decent MLB ETA.

I've found quite a few "blue chip" type prospects when scouting.

I realize with the work done on the ps4 version this year developer time was limited but there some things about scouting which could be improved.

• Pitchers are scouted for left handed or right handed. A better option would be to search for all pitchers based upon attributes regardless of left or right handedness.

• Durability rating is not included in things which can be scouted for. I have seen generated prospects in the game with a durability of 0. An improvement would be to include durability in the attributes which can be scouted for.

A better explanation of what impact a scout staying inside vs going outside his region has on scouting would be beneficial.

At least u can modify the durability rating cuz a 0 can't be accurate lol

True but I don't edit attributes.

And, I'm also a Missouri guy.

My Second Round Draft pick from the year one player draft during the 2014 season as the New York Yankees.

Darren Bailey, 3B, 22 years old, 71 ovr with a 90 pot. He also plays LF and RF. He is projected for a 2015 MLB debut.

His ratings are, 47,75,43,58, 69, 56, 77, 19, 9, 57, 39, 68, 60, 53, 68, 91, 76

He was NOT a blue chip prospect. So yes, blue chip type prospects can be found. Needless to say, he will be playing pro-ball in 2015, most likely behind Yangervis Solarte or Kelly Johnson.

I think I just found the worst draft class ever. I'm in the 2015 draft and only one guy has an MLB ETA of 2018 or sooner.

Also I found a guy in here with an MLB ETA of 2046. LOL wtf? Name is Cliff Fontenot. He is a D Pot SP 23 OVERALL. Lol idk man. I would rather have a soccer mom than him.

LOL. He will be 55 when he makes his MLB debut.
