Does this mean the players game performance contributes to their potential because I had a dude around 22 hit like 345 in the minors, called him up and hit 305 in about 300 ABs, took over Kipnis' spot cuz he was batting like 220 and the dude I called up finished 3rd in the ROY. But the guy never amounted to nothin cuz he had like D potential so I hope that's what you mean when you said randomly change.

P.S. Love the ratings change man, should be another good game.

I'll reiterate again that durability is a big deal, players with durability ratings in the high 50's/low 60's do not have overall ratings in the 90's... Adding in the fact that he's been a .260 hitter the last couple of years strengthens the argument against him.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure Posey should be a 99. He allowed way too many steals and his fielding isn't much to rave about.

You can edit player ratings, but I don't think it's the same as the player "coming" with that rating.

This has turned into quite a mess

Yes it has, and it will continue to be.
Take out the numbers and nobody has a problem with anything.

People get way too worked up about overall ratings. What really matters is the individual attributes in each area, and getting players for what your team needs.

[Knight165]

Once you guys see actual ratings.....the 99 won't bother you as much.

I don't even think a player has to be a 99 in any attribute to be a 99 ovr.

Potential has been able to change in the Show for years now. You get the e-mail saying so and so is exceeding expectations.....and he goes from a C to a B(etc)
