No offense to Ridin or whoever else worked on the v1 ratings. I just hope that more of the minor leaguers are actually playable for the next version. If the worry was that if you set their ratings too high, that they will be too good and take over the major league roles, I don't think that's something that you need to worry about for guys with C-F ratings. They're not gonna get much better than they already are, for the most part, even with the new dynamic potential system.

Well I trust that they know what they are doing when it comes to attributes. Even though I will admit I kept thinking the minor league ratings were too low as well. Like I said a while ago, it took me to play my 8th game to hit my 1st HomeRun with a minor league player. And When I simmed a few games... after the 25th game, my Double A team only had like 4 steals and 3 home runs combined.

I'll update you guys tonight.....but it looks like I'll have 6 to go.
I'm pressing....to do 2 teams a day...but that's a brutal pace to be honest.
I'll keep you guys in the loop all week.
In reality...I'm guessing early next week.
Someone said Memorial Day Weekend. I can guarantee that(unless they cart me off to the hospital with bleeding eyes and my head swelled to 3 times it's normal size! )

And perfectly, I've got that Friday off for a nice long Memorial weekend of Knight and Co. Rosters and CWood's franchise extravaganza.

Another thing about the low rated minor league players is after season 1. I like to use them to build by team up in future years. I just finished season 1 last night and i had 10 guys retire in my organization due to "Ability". Couple of them IRL are pretty decent prospects too, all had C potential or less which I'm sure as a lot to do with it.

Note - The 10 were minor league players and not including Matt Stairs or other vets i had.

I thought that they addressed this with the 30 team control?

Actually this is quite realistic. Heavy roster turnover for minor league affiliates from AA down is quite common. More so for marginal players (with low upside) If you compare any two 09' vs 10' opening day minor league roster, you'll generally see less than 50% of the same names.

It just seems more significant given the 'attachment' we grow to players in any given season/roster set.
