Nor is there any evidence to support that claim.

The fact that a player hit .232 years ago, in OOTP, has no relation to what his ratings are 3 years later. During real league creation, sure, ratings are generated from real stats, but after league creation stats come from ratings.
When you say the .232 "come off the books", I wonder if you're confusing
Player Evaluation AI Settings (PEAIS) with ratings. Just like stats don't determine ratings, neither do PEAIS. They're there for the AI to evaluate players, they're not there for us to see. They don't even change the overall ratings (I just tested this to confirm, but
the old manual /
new wiki also clarifies that the overall ratings are only a result of underlying ratings). Yes, the popup that results says, "player ratings have been updated and adjusted", but if you compare ratings screenshots of an entire roster before and after drastically changing PEAIS, there are no differences (overall or underlying). I think that msg might just be a holdover from when it was once an option
as seen here.
No, your player simply got a big bump to his AvK which resulted in a small bump to his contact since AvK is only a component of contact. Yes, it might be nice if AvK (and other lesser) rating changes were listed in the player's dev report as that might prevent some confusion, but a change in AvK shouldn't ever result in the exact same change in contact. Besides, contact is a hugely important rating, it'd be crazy to have a turn in the dev lab have the potential to increase contact by 20 points. Even a 20 point bump to AvK seems like a lot to me, but it is an "outstanding" result and a minor rating so it's not that bad.
