MLB 14 The Show - Top 9 Players at Each Position

[WB1214]

Looks pretty good to me. Puig might be a little high, Heyward should be a RF.



The three 99s they chose couldn't be any better.

The ratings look good. It seems they changed the ratings, which to me is good thing considering that MLB !3 lot of guys in later seasons in franchise would have not great stats and still be rated 99. Plus I see the contracts and a lot big names are signed to contracts longer than year. It drove me crazy when I had resign 90 percent of the team in year one every time I did new franchise.

LOL@ Bourn being rated the 7th best CF in baseball.

MLB The Show has really nice visuals, and for the most part, really nice sim gameplay, but they need a heavy dosage of 21st century sabermetric-findings and general modern baseball research injected into their games.

I wanna say The Shredder on MLB Network rated Bourn 8 or 9 overall CF.

I like the discrepancy in ratings - now any player that is 90+ is truly considered "elite."

Heyward is the Braves' default CF? Guess The Show has given up on BJ Upton too. Wonder who they have in the Braves RF?

James/Hamilton had him 8/10 on their list but he was not to be found in the shredder's list.

Nah, Brian_SCEA really impressed me with his knowledge and implementation of saber-inclined translations into this current iteration. Unless you think sabermetrics is just stats and not actually an economic study...

This is from his explanation of updating the CPU plate discipline logic:

Same vice versa. This is as important as for things to be right on average.
