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.

So if you are in MLB the differance btwn using relative ratings and not using them and is pretty much cosmetical? - in case you have an idea of what individual ratings are good in the MLB that is.
Example: by
non relative ratings you look at a pitcher with 60 control, 60 movement, 60 stuff, 60 stamina, which is pretty high up on the 20-80 ratingsscale, and you think he is an ace, while you are unaware that there are plenty of better rated pitchers and that those ratings are only average in MLB. Now you switch to relative ratings and his ratings go to 50 across the board and get a better idea of the context.
Did I get this right so far?
