I get that it needs to be done this way somewhat for the AI, but does it need to be this way for the human player? I know you can turn them off, but I don't feel that's accomplishing anything either, as I like them, but I just wish they were NOT always in real time.

Shouldn't it take a scouting trip to change these? They don't change (unless you actually scout them) on the scouting area of players' profiles, so why do we need to have them in real-time on the main player profile page. Is there a possible way to just not make this visible, and only display the scouted ratings from the last report?

It's just very frustrating to see that your scout last rated a player 35/35 overall in the scouting tab, but then go to the main profile screen to see a 30/30. I realize that 30/30 is the real rating, but why shouldn't I have to re-scout the player to figure this out? It just feels like none of it (the scouting system) matters. I realize the AI likely needs to be on top of things at all times, but the human doesn't, and shouldn't.

Like I said, it is easy enough to turn overall & potential ratings off, but I still feel they serve a good purpose and would really like to use them provided they are not constantly displayed in real-time to the human player.
I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding you, but the ratings don't necessarily update if you haven't scouted a player.

I saw a player waived in a league the other day and reached out to another GM (who used to have the player) to ask them if there was anything I was missing or the player was underperforming their ratings (I think it was a reliever who was like 60/55/65 attributes). He told me I must not have a recent scout since the player had fallen off a cliff a couple months before, and sure enough after I sent my Scout on a scouting task he came back and told me the player was junk.
