I imported a 25 league to 27 (with the intermediate 26 step). It was mid-season in the league. Everything was fine for the rest of the season in 27. When the offseason came, all the player ratings on my team plummeted, and the salaries with them. Salaries are about 1/3 what they were previously, and my ace is now more like an SP4.

Except, of course, all the contracts stayed the same. So now I'm paying one pitcher $66,000 (which was a bargain to lock him up for a while) and he has the same reduced ratings as a guy who was not under contract and got $9,000 in arbitration because of his reduced ratings.

Obviously everyone was re-scouted for some reason. Is there anything I can do? If I fire my scout and just go back to OSA, will that restore the ratings?

Thanks for any ideas you have.
