Ratings are supposed to include stats if you select include stats in scouting. So if follows logically since ovr is derived from ratings that if include stats is selected then ovr includes stats.

I, however, question why people would want to do this. Why include stats in scout's ratings since you can already see them. If AI evaluation is set to 50% stats and 50% ratings, then when include stats is selected that's not the percentages the game is using.

Yes, scouts do this. That doesn't mean the game has to do it. Over three decades ago Gary Grigsby wrote about one of this games that he had sacrificed some realism in favor of a better game. This point has not yet been realized the the OOTP devs. Of course, at that point, Grigsby was already a veteran designer with probably a dozen games to his credit. Despite 25 years, OOTP is this group's first game.
