It's a fault in the overall ratings system. If you are using relative ratings you will often notice your scout's opinion on the profile page vs the scouting report page can be wildly different. This is due to relative ratings not because no the default ratings. If you use the real ratings, these reports will agree with each other, but the ratings scale will be totally unrealistic. You will commonly see players with good individual ratings routinely rated poorly overall. So it's a case of picking your poison until this is sorted out, which won't likely be until version 19 (unless somehow Matt & Markus decided to switch ch over this summer)

I use relative ratings, and know the scout's opinion on the profile page is the right one, so I typically ignore the opinion in the scouting page. Sometimes the two agree, but very often not. A big issue I have with the overall rating on the profile page though...is it acts in real time and is dynamic for some reason. This defeats the purpose of receiving scouting updates for the purpose of overall ratings. ( individual ratings work properly)

Edit: according big tobdevelopers this is a very close mother lex issue (as it's been present for years) and is going to require a re-design of some sort when it comes to ratings. I think it will involve making relative ratings the new default, but I don't pretend to know the mess lurking under the hood.
