the profile he screen shot is the "head scout" so he is comparing apples to apples.

i don't think this happens in my games, but i'm going to have to look into it. maybe it's related to resolution of teh scale used? i always use 1-100for ratings and 20-80 for overall. i also pay little attention to overall/potential. when i search for trade targets i use filters on stuff/movement/control. so i guess i'd probably not notice if it is occuring.

while the overall is different, the three visible ratings from scouting report and profile remain the same... so, no relevant information has changed.

you shoudln't even be concerned with their overall -- it can sway due to stats too, as well as being a mash up of individual ratings that multiple combinations can equal the same overalll so it tells you very littel about expected results for this reason.

should it match, yes, i agree with you. it does match in the most important ways at least. i don'tthink stats brought it down... the game log shows a fairly successful cumulative e.r.a. .. so still a bit of a mystery what it doesn't match. clearly its somethign in the calculation of overal... does it always occur after the season? maybe it's screwed up and not discouting "current" year and calculating it as a "0" at that point in time which would cause a significant drop due to missing stats... (it's supposed to re-weight when current years isn't "enough" and does so automatically behind the scenese for good reasons).

3/5
3/5
1/2
all the same for stuff, movement and control on each screen. overall is different but probably due to stats or god knows what. that's at best a very weak correlation to results as compared to assessing the individual ratings on your own. nothing lost or gained..
