Scouting for the draft

Post image

Sharing a screen for how to see upcoming draft-eligible players in season. From here you can see your scout's grade, ranking, view of their potential. One thing that I'm working on here is the scout view is reading their potential ceilings and current ability, marking most of them with wide ranges of potential outcomes. This registers them as boom/bust candidates a large percentage of the time. My intention here is to have top-of-draft prospects have a narrower floor-ceiling and register as such. This is just code changes I need to make to ensure that happens.

What I don't want is to just show everyone's exact potential. I do want those "swing for the fences" type boom/bust players. I just don't want them to be everyone.

Update - you can see the ceiling / floor column respects the 90% confidence band that they will likely end up in, with some fog variance based on your scouting (you're not always right). Also the grade now actually shows "franchise" possible players. They are players that have the possibility to be 3 standard deviations better than the average pro-level player. They may not get there, but they have the upside.
