Franchise scouting and training tips

What are some of the strategies you guys like to use for scouting and training? Do you set the training to auto? How long do you usually train for?

For scouting, whenever I take over a team in franchise I pretty much fire the scouts because I look for specific attributes. I hire one scout who has high ratings for:
1. Finding pitchers
2. Finding batters
3. Efficiency pitching
4. Efficiency batting

That way I have my "finders" find and the other two scout the ratings.

For training sometimes I manually go through and make adjustments to attributes that they need to improve, but I may just leave it on auto.

typically, i think its designed to do discovery for April, then May you scout individual players. but to each their own. but this is the way i tend to do my scouting.

Training, i find does really nothing at all. because i have set every player on my roster up manually 1 time and those specific attributes never increased more/quicker than all the other attributes.

I'm also having trouble scouting in the show 18. I scouted all the prospects well before the draft - all the prospects had their bar filled from red to green. However, when the draft began, many of the prospects were not scouted - their bars were at red. What happened?

The players you had found you scouted fully, but you didn't discover the other players in those regions. You need to mix up your scouting of individual players and send scouts to discover players in regions as well.

I'm sure it's the same this year, but in years past, not all of the players you scout will show in the draft that season for various reasons. They should show up eventually, but it might be a year or two later.

Can we talk about regions in scouting? Certainly, it's important to have scouts discover players in the regions they are from. My question is, should regions be considered for individual player scouting? E.g., I want to scout a pitcher from the central region. Should I use my central scout with a lower pitcher rating or use a scout from another region with a higher pitcher rating?
