I suspect, if we could see his durability rating, that may explain, if it is indeed lower than one would hope for, to be what lowers his OVR. If this needs adjusted it could put him over 80. MAYBE. I def can't wait till Tuesday to give this game a good test ride lol

Yep
I wish people would stop looking at overalls and assuming that because someone is rated 75 they are bad. overall stat is so overrated in the show, people need to look at the other important stats. Hell you could make a pitcher overall go higher by putting his fielding stats up

[BravoSir]

I can't see how Julio Teheran and Mike Minor are 80 and 82, respectively.

Teheran: 14-8, 3.20 ERA
Minor: 13-9, 3.21 ERA

And Heyward should be higher than a 84.

LOL ahh Reggie Stocker. Legend.

So many people bringing up W-L record and ERA, both of which are completely irrelevant to how OVR is calculated...

IP
H/9
HR/9
K/9
BB/9

MPH
Command
Movement

Pretty self-explanatory when you think about it... For non rookies there really isn't any subjectivity involved, the stats are plugged into a ratings generator.

OMG, I wish they never would have instituted the silly OVR.
Ridiculous "rating" that is nowhere in baseball....yet seems to the crux of most complaints in gaming.
Ugh...

I wish they would make it hidden, OVR rating should never be looked at, sadly sporting games the AI uses OVR in it's logic.

in baseball it should never be looked at, games like madden are all about speed. but with the show its full of dynamics that OVR is so miss leading and people look into it to much

I have no problem with the OVR, I do have an issue with the AI using it in its logic. That I wish would go away. Having it hidden would solve some issues, but Ramone has said that people (beyond OS) like the numbers so they're staying. An option I could see though.

Well, the Royals pitching rotation is going to be to be adjusted already. Duffy is in AAA. Yordano Ventura is in his place.
