So, setting aside the simple fact that it is best to not even worry about those as the only things that really matter are the underlying individual ratings that feed into those overall and potential ratings, one question is whether you have the box (in Global Settings, under Player Ratings Scales) that says "overall ratings based upon all players" checked or not?
Either way, the current talent in the league should cause periodic shifts in players overall and potential ratings merely due to the fact that the talent pool they are being compared to is changing.
Or in other words, players are being compared not to some constant ideal state but to one another, to the rest of the players either at their position in the league or in the league as a whole (depending upon whether you checked the box I referenced above.) So unless the population of the league never changes (AND the talent level and skills of each player in the league never changes) these are going to be fluid ratings.
And yes, this is true for all the players in the save, not just those on your team.
(At least, that is what makes sense to me, if I am even remotely actually understanding what you saying.)
As for the exiting the game and coming back in and seeing changes? Yeah, no idea.
I hope someone smarter than I am can help clarify this a bit better as I am feeling not really up to making sense of this, particularly because I just don't play the game the way you are attempting to so I'm not really sure how things like using 100% scouting accuracy are supposed to interact with all of this.

Thank you so much for your help. Now when you say fluid, do you mean continuously changing randomly throughout the year. Also, I do not have that scouting for everyone setting on. Being off is the default setting. I will remember what you said about the ratings not really mattering much. I am use to playing Madden or NBA2k where those overall ratings matter more.
I have been playing OOTP since OOTP 17 and I really love it. I guess I will have to treat it differently from now on and not like how I treat mainstream sports games. So changing ratings and it happening to all the other teams too during and after the season is normal then that is great.
