All players current ratings are seen by every owner the same. However projected ratings have a bit of fuzziness built in. In other words, two owners with a scouting of 20 may not see the same projections for the same player. It won't be dramatic, maybe a point here or there. However there is a lot of difference between an owner with a 20 in scouting as opposed to one with 12, could be up to 10 points in one or more categories, some over, some under.
All players ratings increases 4 to 5 times a year and at rollover. Playing time increases these ratings and unknown factors determines how much an increase (or decrease if injured or in decline) is made at each interval. Players under the age of 27 can still see significant ratings increase while those 27 and older is can have increases but is rare. Players 32 and older have a tendency to decline. Players improve the most during their first 3 years.
Most players do not increase to their full projected potential in all categories. Players whose difference is 20 or more points in a category are least likely to achieve their full potential in that category. Many players do not achieve projections when the difference is 10 even. Some players can even exceed potential.
As a rule of thumb that I use.
Difference of 10: Normally reaches projection or one point short.
Difference of 15: 1 to 3 points short.
Difference of 20: 1 to 5 points short.
More than 20: 5 to 10+ points short.
30 or more: 20 to 25 point gain is common but usually well short.
Some categories are only updated at Rollover like Durability, Range and Power.
Defensive categories wind up short. General categories normally meet projections. Hitting Abilities get close. Pitching Abilities is a whole story by itself but tend to wind up short.
