OOTP doesn't replicate real life 100 percent, but this is nearly impossible. As it is I think that it is probably as good as possible.
That type of thing happens in RL you are right, but the way that should be implemented without scouts IMO is that the player never reaches his potential, then one day does. In OOTP that player suddenly gets a talent boost. Its the development engine's job to develop the players, its the scouting engines job to mask the true development engine.
