The problem with this statement is, if a player is preforming as he should then his ratings are correct regardless of the numbers you see. And define realistic? Scouting is subjective and what one person thinks is a realistic rating can be totally different from another's. Which is why this thread was created in the first place. The bottom line is, it's the statistics that matter, not one persons view of how a player should be rated and/or weather it is "realistic". The proof is in the play. I know you have been one of the biggest critics of OOTP scouting and biggest advocates for change and that's a good thing, but it would be impossible to create a system that everyone would describe as realistic, the only way to know if it's working is to look at the stats.
