It sounds like you are getting into the “fog of war” discussion. The idea that TMI and peeping under the hood, so to speak, is not realistic, as compared to the sometimes fragmentary and inconsistent information a GM must sift through, in evaluating a player. One thing I’ve learned is that even the ratings are just a snapshot, an estimate in a way, subject to change, as you say. I don’t have a lot of long sims to understand how they change over time; but even within a year I see changes, and performances that are seemingly contrary to what scouting and ratings would suggest. Is that TCR? Whatever, it’s enough “fog of war’ and surprises and unpredictability for me.
