The overall rating is really just for reference. The component ratings are what actually drives the outcomes.
Due to the way the overall rating is calculated in OOTP there are times when a defender with a lower overall rating is actually a better defensive player in terms of EFF and ZR.
If you are playing in an earlier baseball era when there were more infield errors and more outs in play, then the infield error rating becomes more valuable compared to a more modern era with better fielding percentages and a higher rate of strikeout which reduces outs in play.
The overall rating gives you some idea but you should still consider the component ratings.
