Here's a question I need some advice on.

Is it worth scouting an offensive play that my defense is 100% familiar with or would scouting one that is less familiar be the wiser move?

For me, I'll scout plays that I'm familiar with when it's heavily used, and there aren't more than 10 plays that my opponent runs very well. It kinda depends on who I'm playing. If there are say 12 plays that I would like to scout, then the 2 with the highest familiarity I'll pass on. Not sure this helps but I'm bored.

Thanks, very helpful!

I usually will go with the familiar play, but was wondering if it is worth it if the defense already is 100% familiar.

There is a boost to your team beyond the normal familiarity boost when they face a play that you scouted.
