MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players For Each Team

[Mercury112491]

How is Bellin Betances only an 86? That's lower than they rated him in the last update.

I'm not gonna repeat the same argument that I've written a couple times for you already about how using minor league stats is a compromise, yet still much better compromise than rating a player based on some suggestion from someone who insists on only using MLB stats even when they are not sufficiently informative... due to lack of sample size... it's fine that's good enough for you, but we are not just discussing your preference here. To me, a student's performance in 9th grade math class does have quite a bit of relevance to how he does in 10th grade math. And that's why many people would use that sort of information, if available.

I don't see the relevance of what a student does in Middle School to what a professional baseball player does in the major leagues. Hamilton played in 152 games last year, and you know his caught stealing percentage--he is not Ricky Henderson. Now he may at some point get to that stage, but as of now he is not and should be rated accordingly, and that is my opinion.

I already said minor league stats for rookies is a basis, not disputing that, but Hamilton has had a full season in the majors.

Obviously we don't agree on Hamilton.

Why not progress/regress during the season based on performance +/- 5 overall and make the big jump during the offseason. Don't like this progression/regression system...

They had 3 years to get it right and they still haven't. This is the one flaw in the game that really bugs me.

In-season progression/regression should be in the game IMO, but on a much smaller scale no more than 2, 3 points maximum. Off-season 7-8 points maximum, again IMO

In season progression/regression happens based on performance and I'm 99% sure they mentioned that injuries now effect a players rating during the season. So it could be that Big Papi is injured, or got injured at some point during the year that caused his ratings to drop that significantly. Or he could be playing horribly.

To kind of piggy back off this. Luis also mentioned regression wont have steep drop offs like the last 2 years. They also moved the age back in which a player starts to regress (I think before it was around age 34-36), He also used RA Dickey as an example of a guy in his 40's won't regress as quickly (20-30 point drop off the last 2 years) or at all if he plays well.

Man oh man this makes me question if i'm gonna carry over my save...

When they went through the teams in the last stream, there were no over 35yo players in any teams top10. Koji is another example, he is also not in RedSox top 10 players in that screenshot I had posted.

Also Big Papi is on a hot streak on that screenshot...
