Scouting Inaccuracy in Inaugural draft?

Hey, Just downloaded the game and started a test league to check out all the new features and such. One thing I have run into(I created 2 leagues and had the same issue in 2 leagues) is I am getting major scouting inaccuracy in the inaugural draft, where my head scout is ranking 2 star guys as 5 stars and 5 star guys as 3 stars. For example, one player my scout ranked as

88/91/92 on the 100 scale in contact/power/eye actually had ratings of 53/57/55 when I turned off scouting to check his real ratings. Just to give a more detailed idea of the inaccuracy I am talking about, I compared the actual ratings to the scouts ratings of the top 9 ranked batters according to my scout. The scouts ratings were

1. 82/79/91 while Actual were 82/79/89
2. 100/100/91 while Actual were 70/80/63
3. 88/91/92 while Actual were 53/57/55
4. 84/87/79 while Actual were 56/62/48
5. 83/70/81 while Actual were 73/65/69
6. 66/81/36 while Actual were 66/82/36
7. 59/90/62 while Actual were 42/59/48
8. 72/100/67 while Actual were 46/64/42
9. 86/28/94 while Actual were 83/25/88

The scout ranked all of these guys as 80 overall, the actual ratings had 2 at 80, 2 above 70, 2 from 50-60 and 2 from 40-50 on the overall ratings scale.

This is way more inaccuracy than I noticed in OOTP 8 (Or maybe I am just imagining things, but in OOTP 8 I never had a top rated player who I would draft in the first round actually be bench material). I am just wondering whether this might be a bug or is scouting designed to be more inaccurate for this season?

Thanks.
