This may be a weird way of rating overall and current potential as far as the stars are concerned, but there is nothing necessarily wrong with scouting as a whole. Your scout still sees ratings which will vary depending on how good your scout is and what type he is.

I think the star ratings are a little weird, though I understand how Markus explained it. I don't see why that should taint your view of scouting as a whole, as I find it works very well. At any rate, I consider the star ratings to be a very short summation of the players possible value. But I find assigning my own value to players, based on the ratings and the performance I can see, is one of the most fun aspects of OOTP. I've often found a three star player to be more of what I needed at a given position than a five star player, even though there were reasons why the five star player could technically be the better overall player. That's what playing a baseball game is all about.
