I also think one thing should be said here. With such a small range for all players (essentially 10 points between average and "Hall-of-Famer"), I would think there would be some varience in performance between guys with an 84, for instance. In other words, even if scouting is dead on, I would think that two guys with an 84 could have distinctly different seasons based on their teams, how they were used and the in-game engine probabilities. So, with that backdrop, Skydog may be more accurate by saying the 100% accuracy for numbers on top-level scouting is preferred. But, just because a guy is rated 84 doesn't mean he will do better than someone that is 82 or 83. And, again, with such a small range of values, I'm guessing any small variation (ie, 2-3 regardless) could deem even the top scouting unreliable.
