The problem that I have with Markus's reply there is that it is somewhat a house of cards that something somewhere seems flawed.
The overall ratings is dependent on the current evaluation of the player based on the AI evaluation settings that you have defined in your game. That makes sense, I understand what he is saying there.
The issue however in a few cases:
Where the OVR/POT ratings are fluctuating a decent amount in a short period of time: Based on what Markus says this would mean that the underlying evaluation of that player is also fluctuating alot during the same time despite those ratings not showing any different within the game?
Where two players with fairly similar ratings have grossly different OVR/POT ratings: I can understand this, perhaps one just outperformed the other one and had much better stats, or had been utilized differently than the other to cause the AI to evaluate him differently?
Where a player's current ratings are matching their potential ratings, yet their OVR/POT is listed as say 21/76: I assume here his potential rating is one of the better at his position in the league thus a higher potential rating. His current ratings being fully developed would suggest that his ratings are fine, but once again the AI is evaluating him on more than just ratings depending on how you configured your AI evaluation in the configuration. So in this case I would assume that player had some really awful stats the last few seasons to the point where his OVR rating is pretty poor?
So I think I can see some of where Markus is coming from regarding to the working as designed, but there still seems to be parts that need some second glances, such as the fluctuating ratings in a small amount of time. At the worst, something is broken, or at the least it is working as intended, but is pretty confusing and needs some form of FAQ to better explain the entire thing to people.
