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

[MLB Bob]

Well I apologize for not watching baseball good enough for you and have a different opinion. Im not complaining about the rankings, I have more of an issue with the offensive people that have to attack fans and not argue the point. if you disagree with a comment, make a point, dont continue to bash and troll them with equally biased opinions.

Haha I know...last year Miami, this year the Jays. Im surprised Cleveland fans haven't come out yet since they had a good offseason too. Truth be told, I don't even think the Jays had the best offseason. I like what the Braves and Nationals did, especially Nationals.

So, someone has the game 2 weeks in advance and instead of sharing game play footage or some sneak-peeks at new features, he drops a ratings screen and goes dark. I think the guy who got the game early should be banned for trolling...lol.

There are some head-scratchers here (Red Sox at #3 is most off to me) but, just like I said in the player ratings thread, I'm more concerned with how it impacts the game than how it looks. Team rankings have NEVER been the best predictor of given team's success in franchise/season/RTTS in this series, so I'm not worried.

Cleveland fans are a different breed. They expect their team to fail, so don't want to get their hopes up, no matter how good they are.

Who's getting defensive now?

Can someone explain to me how the Yankees have better pitching than the Dodgers? Sabathia is not better than Kershaw, Kuroda may be a bit better than Greinke but is 38 years old, Pettitte is 40 years old and when was the last time he started over 25 games in a season? The last three years he started over 25 games, he had an ERA over 4. Nova was over 5 ERA last year and Phil Hughes was over 4.

How many points do I have to make? I get that you're a fan...we all are, but it just seems that your point of view is very narrow because you want to defend your team. I'm sorry if I came off offensive...I just dislike when people discredit what other teams have done just because they're not a fan of that team. I like the red sox but do you see me trying to defend their 3rd position? No because they dont deserve it

My guess. Bullpen/Closer. I guess they are assuming Mariano is going to be Mariano.

Not sure, just a guess.

Whether Sabathia or Kershaw is better, while I agree with you is debatable.

Random thought....Noticing that people here think they are entitled to something because they think they matter more than everyone else simply because they know Ramone or the developers. Strange...
