[/quote]Relative ratings on or off will have an effect, even if you only have 1 league.
With relative ratings off, you always see the raw ratings. So whether your league average hitter has a power rating of 100 (internally on the 1-200 scale), 50, or 150, with relative ratings off, you always see things with the raw values. With relative ratings on, a player with a power rating of 100 will change depending on the league average values. So for the Paquette example, there, with relative ratings on, it shows him with slightly above average stuff, and with relative ratings off, he shows as below average. So basically, in that case, your league average stuff rating is probably below 100.
Which one you like more? That's a personal decision. Sometimes it can be annoying to see everyone clustered with all low stuff ratings and can be hard to distinguish, but then at other times, relative ratings may exaggerate differences.
As for the initial point, no, the profile ratings should not differ that much from the scouting pages. Trust me, if we knew how to fix it, it would be fixed. The only times it should differ are if you have him set as a reliever and he was scouted as a starter (or vice versa), or you are viewing relative to other leagues than he was scouted as. There's just so many combinations of settings, values, when guys get scouted, when things change and update internally, etc... that it just happens to be some saves have more troubles than others at staying in sync.
This is from the Developers. It could fix our issue of scouting where the ratings/scouting pages vary. you can read more about it here:
