This is not the worst bug by far--you can work around this (if you use an offline league) by saving your league before going into the scouting menu. The worst bug is if you try to select players from more than one position (for example, QB, WR, LE), only the last player in the list (in this case the LE) will actually be scouted. Effectively, you only can scout one player for Focus or Workout unless you select them all from the same position.

Thank you for these details and a recommended workaround by saving the game prior to scouting.
For those that are impacted by this we'll need some info to pass along to the team. If you can reply back with these details it's greatly appreciated.
We'll get this pushed up to the team to be looked at, thank you!

Summarize your bug Scouting in year 2, in region breakdown it doesn’t let you select scouting position focus for your individual scouts like in year 1. It has just saved my selections from year 1 and I have new scouts trying to scout different position needs.?
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to scouting -region breakdown, and scouting focus doesn’t let you change the position from your year 1 selection.
What happens when the bug occurs? It’s a constant bug, you can’t change it. In national it allows me to change scouting focus but none of the regions. They are stuck on what I selected in year 1, I’m now in year 2.
What do you expect to see? To be able to reselect my position focus for the new scouts I have.

Picture shows my new scout for year 2 who is an expert in LT and RT but is scouting focus LOLB as that’s what i selected in year 1 with a different scout.
Only get info for the 1st selected player.

Hey, everyone.
Just want to verify one critical piece of info here. Is this happening to all new franchises created after the latest update?
As far as I am concerned, this is indeed happening on every new franchise. I am yet to succesfully get focus scouting or private workouts to work for more than one player.

Thank you for confirming, @TheNavoc
Would you be able to respond back with these details for us to pass along to the team?
Sure, although I doubt there is much insight to be gained from this...
That being said, I'm having a hard time imagining that any of this is that hard to reproduce. For example, there's a Madden youtuber by the name of Bengal - who also made a video about the scouting update which was actually sponsored by EA - and he's frequently uploading franchise rebuild videos. He appears to have the very same issue in every single one he did after the scouting update came out: One player gets updated, the others don't.
This has happened to me in multiple years.
Gamertag: Chewbasquatch
League Type: Online
Positions Broken: I’ve had the options disappear before scouting. So no positions there. I’ve also selected positions then only had a couple advance results: WR, RE, LE, ROLB, MLB, SS
So this has been going on since October, and it still hasn't been fixed?! The heck are you guys working on over there?? If it actually ever does get fixed, will my friends and I be forced to start ANOTHER new league for the fix to take place?
Oh awesome, a new update today that still didn't address the issue. That's pretty awesome. Maybe some day it'll get a fix... or not
I understand that as community manager part of your duty is to promote positivity and give the appearance that the game is less buggy and poorly assembled than it actually is. But, I do not understand how you compliment this persons post and thank them for a “work around” when all their post did is dismiss a very serious problem with the scouting feature as “not that bad,” deflect using a variation of whataboutism, and provide a work around that will not work for the a weave user because most of us play connected franchise (which does not allow you to make additional save points) because Madden has always heavily encouraged and incentivized the use of connected franchise over offline franchise.
this bug has ruined 2 franchise seasons for me… literally drained all the fun out of the scouting! And all EA had to do to fix it is remove the action from being a pop up that automatically disappears and give it a home in the player scouting menu. Then you can link the disappearing pop up to that menu (like it does when players return from injury and it links to the depth chart) the pop up may disappear, but the depth chart remains.
but we should instead delete our franchises, start from scratch with an offline franchise and make multiple save files each week before advancing or immediately after so that we can over complicate what should be a simple process. Yeah, when you think it through it isn’t much of a work around is it?
