MLB 14 The Show Screenshots - Starting Lineups, Pitcher Rotations and Ratings

[queman11]

Weaver only at an 83? And Wilson at 82 after a solid year last year?

[Blazzen]

I'd like to know Santana and Harang's ratings now that the Braves have aquired them!

I may have to do a LOT of editing before getting a game in, as a ratings nut.

And no...I don't care about the overall number. But some of those "contact vs Righties...etc" are extremely wrong. Cervelli shouldn't have a 70 power against righties because of the power he showed last year in such limited ABs.

I don't care what rating system they're using... Colby Rasmus shouldn't be a 72 overall CF after last year.

Chris Stewart has something like 50 power vs righties, 55 contact...which is a joke...that would make him a legitimate starter. He should be much lower than that.

Saw a lot of little ratings that are suspect...specially as a guy that spends the offseason looking at splits of last year and the last couple of years for almost every player to see how they're going to end up in the Show lol

I'm a Yankees fans...but I don't see how Uehara is not a 90+ overall....

Really surprised to see how low Joaquin Benoit and Huston Street were rated. I'm curious to see how the individual ratings for some of the players compare to from the previous year.

However considering the scale, I think the overalls are fair.

One curious thing I saw was Jeff Mathis, Marlins backup catcher. If I'm looking at the screen correctly he has a con R of 81. In 2013 he hit rhp at a .167 clip, 2012 .218, 2011 .170 which is closer to 18 than 81, I wonder if they transposed the number.


Better check surveillance video to see if Jeff Mathis sneaked into San Diego Studios and adjusted his attributes.

Cervelli's numbers are accurate based upon the template but you are not recognizing is his durability which will be so low he won't be a factor.

In all honesty, contact rating is based on a lot more than batting average. Did u check his strikeout numbers? Regardless, I know Mathis is horrendous with the bat but he's no 18, I gotta think u were exaggerating with that number.

It has to be a data input error. His 3 year weighted average vs rhp is .181 with 100 strikeouts in 300 at bats. There are pitchers with better numbers than that.
