First this isnt an EA game the ratings aren't everything. Don't think for a moment a drop in scouting means your guys suddenly suck. Don't think that suddenly this team is any different than the one you assembled all offseason. It's the same.
Second, OOTP scouted ratings have loads of error and fog built in just like real life scouting variance and sometimes extreme shifts are too be expected. Stars have the most fog and are the worst indicators of player skill in my experience. I play without them myself as I find they do more clouding my judgment than helping me evaluate talent.
Lastly here's what likely happened. For some reason, there was likely an influx of new players somewhere. Maybe you added a league maybe there was an insanely good IFA or Draft class. Maybe a bunch of prospects developed all at once over the offseason. Spring training gave your scout a better chance to look at everyone and get less fog. Since Scouting is periodical and not dynamic. You only get new reports every few months come opening day new reports come in and your scout is less excited about the players on your club in relation to the league than he was before.
