If they could design a system that was user-controlled by still held my interest, I'd be all for it. I'm just skeptical of that.
Well, let's say you're looking at an athlete because you need a CB. Do you really care what his throwing power is? Sure, it'd be nice to know but that's not what you want to know. You wanna know his man coverage. What if that doesn't pop up until week 3 after spending 2 hours on him the preceding weeks. You could've better spent that time finding out what you want week 1 and if it's not satisfactory, dropping him off your board and replacing him. If guy #2 isnt good enough for you, then you drop and get guy #3 or whatever number until you've scouted the attributes you want. THEN you recruit him hard. That's a far more effective use of your scouting time then waiting for what you want to randomly pop up.
