Help for severely fluctuating ratings

I have noticed that whenever a new scouting report is done, many players will have dramatically lower ratings than they had before, but if I wait a while, a few hours maybe, then close out the game and reopen it, the ratings return to just about where they were before. (I see this all the time; it's not an anomaly.) I'm guessing that the system has to do a lot of background processing and needs time to catch up, which is fine since I know about it now. I've learned that it's best not to make any decisions based on what players are worth (trades, reassignments, drafting, free agent signings) until I've allowed the system to catch up this way. My suggestion is that perhaps you could include some indicator somewhere to tell the human manager or GM that the system is either up to date or requires so many estimated minutes or hours to process? So we don't have to guess at what point it's safe to trust the ratings again? Sorry for being verbose. And thank you.
