I'm pretty positive that they do. Otherwise, I know that in years past OOTP has an algorithm in there where if a player isn't hitting well at whatever level he's at, there's a chance of a ratings decrease. IOW the best way to tell if a guy is overmatched at a given level isn't really so much to make a calculation based on his ratings or even look at your scouting reports with the red and green arrows, it's to look at how the player is actually doing at that level. If a scout says a guy should be sent down but is hitting .350, you can probably get away with keeping him where he is. If he's hitting .180, you probably should have sent him down last week.
