Scout Offense and Defense

Using Google Chrome and solely the new interface. After I pick the plays in League 6 and then go to another league - when I come back to League 6 - it shows 0/10 plays selected - is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? It happens in my other leagues too - not just League 6. Thanks.

I use safari and the same thing happens. Only in the new interface. I have to use the old interface to gameplan.

Seeing this bug made me question my gameplans, so I went in and found the exact same problem with both of my leagues. Had to re-scout, which only takes a few minutes, but then I wonder how many people are running every game sim, unaware that they haven't actually scouted plays.

It's frequently the case that after I set plays for Scout O and D, I come back later and they are not set. During the game stage the UI (both old and new) will show 0 plays selected but will not give the "you need to scout" warning.

Example timeline for my CUST35 team

April 6
Midweek Game 14 processes at 9:45pm local time.
I log in using new UI after it processes, now in Game 14 stage. I get the "you need to scout warning"
I select 10 plays for O and 10 plays for D

April 7
Log in this morning, still Game 14 stage. No warning about needing to scout is presented.
Check on Scouting plays. Offense shows 0 of 10. Defense shows 9 of 10. (Both UIs agree)
Using new UI, select 10 O plays and 1 more D play.
Flip between tabs a few times so Gameplanning has to reload. Check scouting...now Offense shows 10 of 10, but Defense is 0 of 10! (again both UIs agree)
Go to another league, then come back to CUST35, no warning for lack of scouting.
Check on scouting again, O still shows 10 and Def shows 0.

Seems that either the scouting plays are being saved but not displayed (suggested by the lack of scouting warning when signing back in after setting them originally) or setting them originally is disabling the warning but they aren't being saved. Either way it's frustrating to make a change and not know whether it is actually happening or not.

The scout plays are cleared after each game (because your upcoming team will likely have a different playbook and even more likely have different play usage). The warning will only appear when you enter a midweek stage without any scouted plays.

I'll check on the issue of the plays disappearing.

Got a question about Scout Offense and Scout Defense. The "numbers called" on Scout Defense, is that the number of time they've called those defensive plays, or the numbers of times I have? I know IRL the "Scout Offense", for example, would be our second team offense pretending to be the opponents offense, but the text in the game doesn't really make it clear to me whether "Scout Offense" is what we're preparing for them to do on Offense, or what we're expecting them to do vs. our Offense. Could you very clearly and unambiguously explain exactly what these things mean please?

Scout Offense = What offensive plays your opponent has ran the X amount of past games. (1 through 32 games; whatever you decide to filter)

Scout Defense = What defensive plays your opponent has ran the X amount of past games. (1 through 32 games; whatever you decide to filter)
