Ideas
To Original poster I have the same problem, i believe i know what is happening. Introduced in the latest patch that has created this. When you look at a players scout report and then go back to the instructions screen for your scout, the menu will then only list players that certain scout has scouted themslves and not show all the otehr players others scouts have found.
Example. I tell my scouts to find every player under 25 with 1 year left. I go to to the instructions screen to see what all my scouts have found, and click on a player they have socuted and found. I look at their report then go back into the insturctions screen, the list will then ony show the players that EXACT scout has scouted, and not all the other players others scouts have scouted. it should be showing every player each scout has found, it does not do that anymore. This is a bug and had made trying to look for players very hard and frustrating. I am going to post a bug report about it, though i am finding it hard to explain what is happening in words. I hope this made sence. I won't be playing anymore until this has fixed as i can't build a team using these tools now.
