@hawksnc10 I have to disagree.... as a sim player that focuses on realism I have always HATED the 100% scouting accuracy of high school age children. I want even more fog of war by keeping the attribute reveal range based and not give absolute ratings... let alone the overall rating.

A college coach is going to know a) how fast a prospect is by 40 time. b) if they can catch a ball by scouting them and c) by if they can run a route. You may not know the quote on quote over all but you'll know if they can play. Therefore us having all the ratings beforehand is not unrealistic. Maybe having awareness may be unrealistic but as for their physical and abilities we should be able to see that because that is something observable and something you can scout.

I dream for this!That's the thing. You should be able to see the tangible skills. As a coach, you can line up two kids and see if one is head and shoulders above another player when you scout, watch film, etc. There should be a clear indication that one player is better than the next.
