Discrepancy Between Players' Ratings in Scouting Reports & Profile
 

Across several online leagues I participate in, there appears to be a discrepancy (bug) between a player's ratings as seen in (a) his player profile, (b) the development reports, and (c) the team's scouting reports. These discrepancies can be fairly substantial and make evaluating a player difficult, if not impossible, in some cases. They also render an important part of the game, i.e. tracking the development or decline of players, fairly meaningless.

To illustrate the point, I've included a few snapshots from one particular league demonstrating the discrepancies. The following snapshots are taken on the same date that teams received the monthly "Player Development Report," and a new scouting report, so one would think that the ratings should be consistent across the development update, the scouting reports, and the profiles. They are not.

Example 1:
SP - Braxton Garrett
Development Report:
"Potential Stuff ratings improves from 60 to 65"
"Potential Control rating improves from 55 to 60"

Scouting Report:
Potential Movement at 45
https://ibb.co/LzfbJ1g
Player Profile:
Potential Stuff: 70
Potential Movement: 45
Potential Control: 60

Example 2:
SP - Sixto Sanchez
Development Report:
"Potential Movement rating drops from 50 to 45."
https://ibb.co/28ThwW0
Scouting Report:
Potential Stuff: 55
Potential Movement: 45
Potential Control: 70
https://ibb.co/tMLgNfv
Player Profile:
Potential Stuff: 65
Potential Movement: 50
Potential Control: 70

Example 3:
SS - J.T. Riddle
Development Report:
"Potential Contact rating drops from 50 to 45."
"Potential Eye rating improves from 40 to 45."
https://ibb.co/28ThwW0
Scouting Report:
Potential Contact: 45
Potential Power: 45
Potential Eye: 45
https://ibb.co/Xxt7XcB
Player Profile:
Potential Contact: 50
Potential Power: 45
Potential Eye: 45

Would love some help on the issue. Thanks!

Yeah, I believe there are a few cases where this can happen now. It's something we're aware of, but a much harder problem to pin down than you'd think.

I think we may've made some progress here, so take a look once the next patch comes out and if you're still seeing the same thing, let us know and we can look into it further.

Thanks, Lukas! I’ll let ya know if I notice a change.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue in OOTP 19.

Yeah, I haven't noticed a change at all. And one particular online league just converted from 19 to 20 and it's particularly bad there now. (Not sure if that helps).

In the settings field do you have it set to use last scouting report?

Here are the settings for one of the troubled leagues, it seems like we do:

Something looks off. It looks like the scouting reports are for different leagues.
