MLB 13 The Show - Overall Team Ratings, Including Batting, Pitching and Defense

[urmomsfavplaya]

Do not understand the overall rankings.. They do not reflect the individual category rankings at all

NL East pitching is stacked! Go Braves!

Why do people get so worked up about this stuff? It's the individual player ratings that matter, people! Relax...

In 2012, Red Sox finished 9th in runs per game and 11th in OPS, so surprised they're 4th in batting. Pitching wise in 2012...27th in ERA,23rd in WHIP.

I know things change(like players got injured,moved around and stuff) during season so their 2013 roster is a much diff team than the one which influenced most of these stats, but really don't think it'd be that much.

Yankees as a top defensive team I might actually agree with. 2012 they finished 3rd in the league in fielding%. I'm guessing The Show rated guys like Jeter,Arod still fairly good, so those guys,combined with the already good Yankees defense would prob be at the top.

Still surprised at Jays defense however. Considering the fact that only 2 of their positions are rated outside of the top 13 in the MLB in fielding %.

Alot of variable factors go into ratings, but if I had to rank Jays, batting,pitching would be basically same as how the show ranked. But defense I'd rank them between 10-15.

Nationals pitching is first hands down. Their offense should be higher than 9th also. They did have the best record in the majors last season and only got better in the offseason

White Sox pitching waaay underrated. IMHO.

Edit: I take it back. 2012 stats were not as good as I'd thought.

My Orioles got disrespected.

Pretty much how these things go....some fan will question something that is subjective to the individual. The rankings won't really matter once you get the game so I'm not sure why so many people are making a big deal out of it.
