If Baez is a 77, Castro and Rizzo should be 88 plus.

Baez should be 68-69 max if we're going off how ratings actually effect on the field play.

What they said in one of the streams was that 50% of the player's attributes are from how they performed in 2014, 25% for 2013 and 25% for 2012. Plus if the player has not been in the league for the last 3 years or injured for a considerable amount of time, SCEA used their own discretion towards assigning a rating value.

We can always adjust the ratings to own liking as well. Just don't assign them to be too high. It's not fun always winning. It's more rewarding when you have to fight for your wins. Plus being able to handle losing builds character ... haha ... I better watch it saying such things. The ghost of Ayrton Senna will now begin to haunt me for even suggesting there is anything other than winning.

<------- SF homer. That being said the Giants team rating better be higher than the Dodgers. (I Know it won;t be, if only team chemistry was taken into account)

Well if we're going by the World Series, then Joe Panik should be a 99 overall.

At least according to Joe Buck.

Anyway, I'm satisfied with the Royals rankings. Sal is probably rated a little too low, but he was pretty bad at the plate last year, so an 82 isn't awful.

I think 84 is about right for Riz, he has more room to develop. But I'm going to edit Castro to be around an 84 also. Have to wait and see what his full ratings look like. His defense has improved dramatically, especially the second half of last year. If that is what is bringing his overall down a little, that will be an easy fix.

Baez, I dunno. Tons of power with tons of strike outs, really good fielder some of the time, with a cannon arm, just makes too many mistakes on defense. So Contact and discipline should be really low. Hit power, arm strength and reaction time should be high. Fielding and arm accuracy should be average. I'm guessing Baez gets a higher rating because, as they've mentioned, second base is generally a weaker position, and that figures into their overall rating formula.

Are they not using actual player photos they year? I'd be fine with that, but it would be a surprising move.

Btw, they had actual player photos in their earlier streams, but not at the start of this stream.

UPDATE: Nevermind. I guess it was a fantasy draft mode thing.

Photos are in the game but they were using fantasy draft. Fantasy draft changes all the player pictures in to the videogame versions of the players.

Same thing happens when a player gets traded in the game because they want them to have the correct team hat.
