Scouting IF and OF Arm rating

Based on my analysis of the scouts:

I believe there is a glitch for getting the ratings on IF Arm and OF Arm since there is basically zero variability. Speed also has basically zero variability, but that makes sense since you could get a rating based on timing them in a sprint (so there is no opinion needed by the scout).

Unless there is some test in real life I'm not aware of for measuring IF Arm and OF Arm abilities that would cause this, I think this is a bug.

In real life, I think that you can simply use a stopwatch to time throws from one point of the field to another, just like when timing runner speed. These Arm ratings correspond to arm strength, which corresponds to throwing speed. I believe that bench coaches keep track of all of this stuff.

Does that seem reasonable?

Guess so. Closing this out due to lack of response in over a week. If you'd like to discuss the matter further, Kiko1313, please ask a moderator to re-open the thread. Thanks.
