Will be cool to compare with the ones u knocked out of the park

Nothing like friendly competition lol. Maybe we can get SCEA to use some of our CAPs again this year, it was really cool seeing our work being acknowledged...

Yadi had a quote somewhere saying that Wacha was absolutely big league ready right now. Some members of the front office were supposedly pushing for him on the MLB squad. Regardless, I'm sure we will see him on the big club before the year is done.

I just think that's a small sample size personally. He was a college pitcher it's not unusual for them to dominate the low minors. 75 k/9 seems like it's really, really high. That's the same as Felix Hernandez fyi.

I tend to leave those alone for the most part unless it's a glaring thing (Like Wilin Rosario's power last season). Again, they're all prospects, so rating them really high when they're gonna grow a lot in the game as is will let these guys turn into beasts, and fast. LOL. I just try to compare them to what the game already gives us and scouting reports and whatnot, and you can get a good sense for where their important individual ratings should fall for the most part. Again, that's just me.

I hear ya man. In my three years of doing OSFM this was by far the hardest. Some players just need a few tweaks.

Thanks for the rosters! Will download them for PS3 and Vita! Can't wait to start my franchise.

Not trying to complain or anything, but would it be a good idea to have a list of the errors? Such as wrong age or player showing up twice. Just so easier to change the minor errors ourselves or for the next release.

But that's the thing. Profar is really young, and he's going to get better. He hasn't proven much to be honest, and by starting out the year as an 82, what will you have by the end of the year? By year 2? I agree with Sony's ratings, because again, they're prospects. It makes sense. They haven't proven anything at the major league level and are facing far superior opposition when they reach the big leagues. If they prove otherwise, Roster Updates usually rectify that.

And BTW, I don't wanna step on anyone's toes or upset anyone. This stuff takes a lot of hard work, and is great. I'm not pointing out any major flaws or anything, just some good discussion on what we've got right now. Great work.

Part of it too is that the OSFM ratings just naturally end up a little high due to how we approach a prospect's ceiling and ETA. I was actually worried that some of my guys would end up too low because I bucked the trend and rated guys based on their current abilities, leaving the development completely up to the user. I feel its more realistic and actually more fun this way, you can either choose to shore up a player's weaknesses or continue to develop their strengths.
