2063 Do Assistant GMs affect IA signings?

Post by Knucklehead254 » Thu May 15, 2025 4:23 pm

While browsing the OOTP subreddit awhile ago I came across a post where someone asked, "What's the point of signing an AGM?" One thing I noticed constantly referenced were people saying depending on their scout international rating, you'll have a better chance at higher quality International Amateurs added to your International Complex throughout the season. So I scoured during last offseason and signed Ireno Menelau for a whopping $1,000,000 a year.

Below is a table of the eleven players added to my IC throughout last season:

Obviously the big name is Cihangir Kermal who has a 55 POT. Three who have 40 POT whilst the rest are 35 and below. We got three catchers and pitchers, but no real skill positions except for one center fielder.

To compare I went with Bikini's Monica Green who is poor across all scouting ratings and is being paid $315,000. Here are the fifteen players added to their IC throughout last season:

As you can see, it looks very similar to my table. They have a 55 POT catcher in Antonio Concepcion as well as three 40 POT and a 45 POT as well. They also had a bit more variety in positions with a couple of middle infielders and a center fielder. The difference of annual cash is roughly $700,000, yet we both got roughly the same quality of IA signings. So is this claim a bust? A placebo effect? It's hard to say based off of just one seasons worth of data between two teams, especially as we also had the ratings shift with the transfer to OOTP 26. It'll be something I certainly track as the seasons go on.

Maybe it has more affect if scouting is turned on.

I think it's like everything else in the game. It has a small effect in the big picture. If you do all the little things they add up, sometimes good and sometimes bad. Is there that magic bullet? I dont think so but I'm an idiot. :shrug:

I doubt it has an effect, and the two charts add to my belief (or my doubt). My AGM is legendary in international scouting and has produced a similar crop of amateur signings. Although I'm paying him less than half a million per year.
