Some issues after importing OOTP16 savegame

Hey there,

I just bought OOTP17 yesterday and have since imported my OOTP16 save to OOTP17.

I noticed a couple of strange things and I'm not sure if those are bugs or not.

1) In OOTP16 my head scout's reports (excellent in all categories) and the OSA ratings were almost identical. Mostly matching exactly, with some rare derivations of 0.5 stars. After importing to OOTP17, the OSA and head scout ratings are vastly different. Some players are rated 1/1.5 stars by OSA and 1/4 stars by head scout or vice versa. Is this normal or was something messed up in the transfer?

2) Even more weird, I tried to manually scout some of my players to find out what's going on. For example I scouted a guy rated 1 of 2 stars by OSA and rated 1.5 of 3.5 stars by my scout. I got a report a couple days later where the same scout told me the player had a current ability of 1 star and a potential ability of 1.5 stars compared to MLB average.
I checked the scouting reports tab on some of my players and it turned out the star ratings in those reports all all much worse than the stars displayed on the profile tab. Now I'm completely confused. Which star display is meant to be the correct one?

3) I've got some weird player performances. In OOTP 16, some players under- or overperformed for a while but that means like hitting 0.27 instead of 0.3x or so. Now one of my Players, a catcher, 4/4 stars who constantly hit +0.32 every season and was one of the top performers in the league all the time, suddenly hit 0.19 in the first 30 games of the new season. On the other hand, my 5 star 3B got injured pretty early, so I promoted a 22 y.o. 2.5 star 3B without any worthwile ratings up to the MLB squad as an emergency replacement. I expected him to fail completely, and his AAA stats were pretty mediocre as well. However, the guy is now hitting 0.472 in 24 games, is currently on an 11 game hit streak and also knocked home 9 homeruns already. And that with below average contact / avoid K rating. So - is OOTP17 just much more random than OOTP16? Could this be a bug from the game import? Are there any game settings which could have been altered which would cause this randomness?

Thanks.
