Speaking of scouting, I use a scouting accuracy setting that is not 100%, but the next tier down (very high, I believe).

In a new fictional league, the initial draft gets completed absolutely first. There is no time to do anything concrete - I cannot hire personnel (only submit offers), or anything else.

So, off to the draft. When drafting, I will occasionally use the scout’s recommendation, but I try to build my team a particular way (high actual ratings for some positions, high potential in others). So I draft, based on the OSA ratings. Then, after the draft is done, NOW whoever my scout is gets to look at my team and I get the reports in due time.

Invariably, and I mean EVERY TIME, the initial reports tell me that my highest rated players lose both potential and actual ratings like crazy. My 80 potentials become 70, my 70 potentials become 60 and my currents lose 10 points as well. It’s like my scout believes the OSA held the initial draft settings party at their local Hooters on Dollar Beer night.

Does anyone else see this? Is there a way to avoid this type of draft rating fiasco that I am not seeing?
