New feature testing in the beta leagues in their upcoming drafts - player obfuscation. Basically, the player cards will look like this for all rookies:

The player's -max- is somewhere within the blue bars. The width of the bars is random for each player, so some players will have larger width than others.
Each team can scout 2 players (note the 'Scout Player' button). When you scout a player, the width of the bars is reduced. When a player is scouted, all teams in the league receive the benefit - so feel free to try to talk other users into scouting players once your 2 scouting uses are over. Here's this player after being scouted:

Here's another player with a much smaller error range:

and after being scouted:

What's the goal of this? To push good players down further in the draft.
So, what are my questions?
1) Does it work? Not only are there any bugs, but does it actually improve the draft experience, or does it make it worse?
2) Is 2 players per team too few?
3) Any other thoughts or comments?
This would be part of the 0.4.3 engine. Beta-87 will be the first league to see this, then it will be in MFN-1. It won't be in the other leagues for a while, obviously.
