Right, I misread his post. My bad.

You don't play with what you have if it isn't realistic as the game is intended to be. If we wanted arcade style baseball we'd play The Bigs.

Most of those guys I listed on the last page were mainly B's with some A's from last year. So you're telling me that within a year those same players (which many have improved) have now become D's or F's, while some players are clearly on the decline are still A's. It doesn't quite make sense.

Along with all the D and C ratings that should be higher, and A ratings for older guys past their primes, I've found a number of A ratings for guys that have no business being A's. If I were to give just one Indian an A potential it would be Grady, yet he's sitting at B, while Justin freakin' Masterson (the very definition of a B potential, to me) is an A.

I haven't noticed any actual big prospects that are rated too low yet (like Dexter Fowler was last year), but on the whole I feel like there are more questionable potential ratings than I can ever remember in previous games. I'm not really sure why potential isn't editable.

I second that. Justin Masterson is by no means an A. He can be good but not great.

I wonder how hard it is for them to adjust the ratings. I'd like to assign someone a job to sit down and accurately depict each player. Like have a group of mlb scouts sit down and come up with ratings for each player. Or a partnership with Baseball Prospectus or something.

Some players have been addressed, not all. Incomplete fix.
