The differing scouting reports issue was the most confusing thing to me about OOTP4 and is still the most confusing thing in OOTP5. I mentioned this in another thread about how scouting ratings differ in the Search Window vs. the Trade Screen, and Steve Kuffrey replied that he believed the results generated in the Search Window were the ratings given by a generic "average" scout, rather than the ratings of the Scouting Director of that player's team. This is borne out by the fact that my own players have different ratings in Search (evaluation of an "average" scout) than in my own Roster Screen (evaluation of my Scouting Director).
More and more I'm feeling that this phenomenon is a quirk in the engine rather than a design choice.
As for the weirdness with the right-hand scroll bar in the trade screen, I've noticed that too. It seems to me the game almost needs to "catch up" to the scroll bar. If I scroll quickly and select a player, it will bring up the wrong player's screen. But if I scroll slowly, wait a second, then select a player, it will bring up the right player.
One other bit of scroll-bar weirdness occurs if you do this:
1. Go to Find Player by Ratings
2. Click Find Players, which will return a list of just about everybody who makes under $10 million.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the list and view that player, then right-click out.
4. Select New Search
5. Now create a search criteria that will return a very small number of players, say Starting pitchers with an era rating of 9 or more, then click Find Players
6. The Found Players window will now tell you it has found a certain number of players (in this case in my game, it found 2 pitchers), but their names are not visible and can't be viewed at all.
