Franchise Player Ratings Decline

[ExileSkim03]

Started a co-op franchise with the Yankees and the player ratings look pretty normal. If you sim spring training, a ton of players lose about 15-20 overall points on their rating.

Is this because we are the Yankees and they're old or does it happen with every team??

This shouldn't and doesn't happen to every team. I've run some sims of my own to see Progression trends and such...this doesn't happen with me. I have 0 idea why it's happening to you

I noticed when i simmed Cubs last night in franchise that older players dropped big time while young players got better fast

Huh...is there any thing you guys have in common? What roster set did you use, have you tried starting a new franchise, did you just end spring training or sim through it?

I've tried it with a few different franchises and it happens every time. Uehara dropped all the way down to a 68, Ortiz is at 77, and David Ross is at 67.

I'm all for rapid decreases especially when the player is in their late 30's, but these are dramatic drops that occur after you finish spring training. Hopefully it's something that can be fixed.

edit: I'm using the default roster set.

This could be a big problem.

I'm using the live update roster. We did both end spring training as well as sim a week or two at a time with the same results.

Any old player has a HUGE drop. We checked other rosters within the franchise and the same thing happened to their old guys (Ortiz, Dickey, Ibanez, etc.)

Younger players get better quickly depending on potential.

We have done this a few times with the same exact results.
