Three players with a 99 rating doesn't feel right.

Too low or too high? They explained that this is a big difference from a few years ago when they had far more 99's.

I think Catcher is a heavily defense-rated position, too. McCann didn't have a great batting average but he had more power numbers than pretty much anyone, and was above average defensively.

Gordon is tough to rate in the game because his traditional stats don't look too sexy. There's a huge WAR discrepancy between Upton and Gordon, but so much of that comes from Gordon's fielding ability, which is cancelled out by Upton's power (which is weighted more heavily for COF's). I bet if you move Gordon to CF or SS (lol) he is probably one of the best players in the game.

Compare that to Kyle Seager (77 OVR last year), who got a huge boost because he improved in categories that are valued at 3B.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players at Each Position

I don't pay that much attention to the OVR in game, but they do matter from what I have read regarding the AI's decision in game so I guess they should matter in some way. I've actually tried to pay more attention to them the last few years since the AI apparently uses OVR for things like lineup creation etc.

The only player I really have an issue with is Anthony Rizzo. I know that the past 3 years are used and his 2013 was mediocre for a 1st baseman, but he led all 1st baseman in fWAR last year and feels like one of those players that deserves a bump due to his recent "breakout" performance. It seems weird to see him ranked below someone like Chris Davis, who technically has a higher fWAR over the past 3 years due to his monster 2013, but last year was only worth 0.5 fWAR compared to Rizzo's 5.6 fWAR. Sometimes I really agree with using the 3 year system, but others I feel it undermines a player's recent or past performance.

Johnny Peralta isn't even in the Top 10 rated SS's in the game? Tied for second among all SS in HR, 2nd in RBI, led all SS in WAR, 3rd in DWAR. SMH...

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players at Each Position

I'm actually Ok with Rizzo at 84. We have to remember that it will increase in a franchise. Him being A potential it could possibly grow to 90+. But still Castros rating irritates me. He will grow too but a 24 yr old 3x all star SS and he's an 80!?!
