Easiest way to correct is to open up the player(s) in question, and enable his photo. His ID number should appear (will be p###, for example p344). Go into your OOTP league directory, open up the news folder and then the player folder in that (don't have the game available so don't know the exact names). Find the p###.txt for the player, open in notepad or some other text editor and then take out the old info. Save the file and the in-game info should also be updated.

Just want to note that the p###.txt files only contain the "career history". The scouting report is generated by the game, based on the player's ratings at the time. (So editing the ratings will change the scouting report, but there's no way to edit the scouting report directly.)
