But, they don't. NoOne is absolutely right, the RELEVANT ratings do not change.
Guys get way too caught up in overall, both current and potential. Stars are especially bad but even the number scales can be too. They are ok as a way to draw your eye but you have to dig deeper to see what the player's skills really are. With that in mind you should never discount a player either because of low stars. If you want guys with good stuff and control then search for those guys by those ratings.
I look for players based on their skills and, if they've played enough, their body of stats. Sure I start with the "big three" contact\power\eye for hitters, stuff\movement\control for Ps but also look hard their entire skill set. The AI too is not looking at stars or overall comparison to make a trade it looks to stats and individual skills. You have offered 4 players for 1 and I guarantee the AI hasn't looked at any of them and thought "oh boy, I'm getting a 3 star player in this deal!!!" It's looking at trading away an 18 yr old 3-3-1 with upside being 5-5-2 (if it agrees with your scout's opinion) along with stats, personality, where the incoming players fit the organization etc. and basing it's decision on that. Not on how many stars any of the players currently have or are projected to have.
Would it be nice if the stars matched all the time? Sure but it's so irrelevant it doesn't really make any difference as long as the individual skills are consistent.
