Guys, it will be ok. The roster makers will figure it out. The good news is after I simmed a season, I didn't see any studs being delt on the waiver wire.

you guys are all freaking out over a stupid little letter. if someone has a c potential and is a younger player he can still reach a potential it all matters about the on field play. so dont have a mental fit if your favorite player has a c potential because he can still be an all-star player. so some older guys might have an a potential but if he has a bad season his potential will go down to a c or worse so you guys just need to relax.

In all my sims only time they get called up is to fill a position due to retirement or injury or trade. Multiple season franchises are tough because you will find Strasburg make 8 mil in AA not on 40 with 0 years MLB service time. Sim ahead a couple years and you will see tons of A prospects making millions of dollars not on 40 man rosters.

If these kind of issues can't be fixed, then gamers like most us (hardcore realists) will not have any use for playing the season past 2010 on this game.

Here's an exchange from the thread Russell_SCEA started regarding the player potential glitch:

So if the above is accurate, then potential is either static or else with every player who drops from say an "A" to a "B" due to performance...there would have to be exactly one player who rises from a "B" to an "A" based on performance. Seems more complicated than these guys would actually be able to pull off in regards to rosters, given the issues we have seen to this point.

That's not the point. I don't care about how my favorite players are rated. The problem is if guys are seeing Pujols dealt multiple times in one season, and Strassburg making $8mm a year three seasons from now in AA, then this is still completely fubar.

Is there documentation about this? Cause I keep hearing about it, but I've never seen it in my franchise yet.
Can someone take pictures put or put up a video.

I agree here. I don't think the excess number of A potential Pitchers in the Minors can be resolved with a roster update. I think it's a bug and they are looking for it.

The Roster update fixed what it could, the rest is likely a bug. The remaining star players that have incorrect (ie. Cano) potential ratings likely are owned by the fake minor league pitchers due to this bug.

To the thread author, thanks for the headsup post.

Wow now this is service... we get a "massage" with the roster up date?!?!?!?! What kind of company is this?!?!?

# 69 Sacrafice @ 03/08/10 12:15 PM

Yeah Zimmerman is an A on mine too.

The fake players break down is the same as before, but they added more A's to the minor list. These numbers are for any player with 0 MLB service time

Pre-Update: 116 Pitchers - 19 Position Players
Post-Update: 126 Pitchers - 23 Position Players

Just something that has got to be dealed with I guess :'(
They fixed what they said they would and nothing else so it's what we got. I'm fine with it and will wait until the patch comes out and hope it fixes most of everything going wrong.

Really? I stand corrected then

How about Cano, is he still a D?

# 71 Sacrafice @ 03/08/10 12:30 PM

Yankees? He is a B

Is there a reason that SCEA just doesn't let us edit potential. Also, is potential 100% guaranteed? There should be some A potential guys who suck and some F potential guys who come out of nowhere and are superstars.. ala Albert Pujols. He wasn't on anyone's radar coming up, but look at him now.

I read in another thread, from one of the SCEA posters, that there was a good reason for it and that if they let us, the game could crash. I dont remember the thread and dont the exact reason. Something to do with certain calculations on the backend or something.

I don't know of any official documentation for it but Knight(I think it was him) was talking about it in the Community Day thread.

I remember him saying it too, but I haven't seen it in game yet. I can't find anyone else besides Knight who has seen it happen.

What in the world? How is this happening and is this a confirmed bug? Hopefully controlling all 30 teams will prevent this. I swear for as good as MLB The Show is in some areas it is equally terrible in rosters, trade logic, etc. There's ALWAYS something, every single year. I guess I should be happy that they actually try and fix their problems though. I'm going to go home today, start editing rosters and try not to look on this forum anymore (I'm sure that won't last long) so that I don't realize that Roy Halladay is now the starting right fielder for a rookie league team in the Dominican.

# 78 carolo59 @ 03/08/10 01:24 PM

Iam aliitle confused about the 08 Ros update. Why Is S. Strasburg a free agent. Did I miss something over the weekend, or am I reading it wrong, and how does this affect franchises moves. Because it shows Strasburg a free agent on my update. Hop

Also Orlando Hudson & J.J. Hardy are reversed. (Minnesota Twins) Though both have second positions listed as the ones they are set to play in the roster. Also Casilla of the Twins is listed at #35 when in fact he is wearing #12. Hudson is listed as #13 when in fact he wears #1. Morales at #58 instead of at #26.

# 80 Gagnon39 @ 03/08/10 01:45 PM

Am I the only one who thinks players playing in the wrong positions is a big deal? Sorry, but if Jeter is in center field, that's kind of a game-killer for me. Or if Pujols is catching. Come on.
