Scouting issues deal with projections not how tall ,how much does he weigh, how fast is he and what is his stamina currently. Projections are the gray area.
As has been stated, there are some areas of this game where people don't want realism, even though they say they do.
In real life, yes, a scout would see 56 as the current stamina. But the problem is, people in HBD could easily use development trends to estimate fairly accurately where that 56 would end up, and thus scouting was almost pointless. If you want it to be like real life, then you'd see that 56 as the current stamina, but he might end up being a bust and max out at 58. Then you'd be whining that he didn't develop enough and you got ripped off. Even good scouts in real life miss on guys.
Sometimes it's frustrating, but the developers in this game have to balance realism with giving people what they paid for. If people spent their $25 on an HBD season and got injuries and draft busts with the frequency that real ML teams do, no one would play.
