That's a fair point and you might be right. All I was trying to say was you can't compare different positions based on overall in The Show. Just because Altuve is higher rated overall than Bryant does not mean that he is "better".

Why weren't they able to show Trout and Bryant? As soon as they went to replay in the Cubs game they didn't show him, and in the Market they quickly passed over Trout.

omg some of the best players won't be in the game. Did they turn into Barry Bonds and become to awsome to be in video games. We should all donate thousands to roster makers so that they can work full time on rosters and not real jobs.

I agree, which is why the top 20 players overall is kind of a misleading title to that final grouping. Yes, they have the highest overall ratings in the game but those overall scores are not calculated the same. There are as many different rating scales as there are positions that are represented in that list.

Arrenado wasn't even a top-5 3b last season according to fWAR. He is not underrated. He's a very good 5-6 win player. But Bryant is the best position player not named Trout and Donaldson is still a 2 win better player.

I like Nolan. You're overrating a very good player.

Bryant isnt even the best 3B on his team. If he was, he wouldn't be splitting his time in the outfield.

That was because Schwarber was injuried.
