Even when you make scouts base ratings 100% on stats, ratings still creep in on the margins (and then of course there's that issue with the algorithms used for contact. etc. for historical leagues that I mentioned).
It is also, as has been mentioned, *significantly* harder just because you don't have those easy to see 20-80 or whatever ratings, but in a fun way that requires you to really learn about your league.

Well scout do use an OVR grade (numbers not stars and it's 20-80 with increments of 1) but I am not sure if they use these for vets. They might for all we know.
