I would hope that base running ability only influences the jump and reaction time on pickoffs. The pitchers time to home/slide step and catchers throw ability should come into play as well. As well as the runners speed. If the game is balanced right, having a high base running ability alone should not make strealing bases over powered. Also slide stepping and throws over/pitch outs by the cpu should increase if you have a player that is running a lot.

Does anybody catch what the rating of Yankees pitcher Micheal Pineda?

(Yes, I do planning on using the Yankees this year)

Greg Holland has 53 for BB.

BB/9 2012-4.57, 2013-2.69, 2014-2.89.

I don't think that 53 for BB is an accurate number for him, unless BB is based solely on what pitchers do in 2012.

I'd say that's pretty reasonable considering last year is the only sample of him that we have over the last 3 years.

I'd also say that's pretty generous, considering his usage of pinetar

Thanks, 77 with good potential is reasonable!

And McCutchen who batted .280 against LHP last year gets a 99 for contact against lefties. So much for that 2014 50% weight factor.

You have to look at the WHOLE picture:
the other 50% he hit .390
so a .335 avg is going to give you a pretty heady rating.
Though I must admit I'd only give him a 90 rating vs lefties.
 
# 132 Blazzen @ 03/25/15 09:07 AM
Julio Tehran has a lifetime 3.16 ERA and he's an 84?

Andrelton Simmons is a "B" potential player?

Fail.

84 seems a tick low for Freeman too but his production was down a bit last year, although that was partly because nobody could get on base in front of him.
 
# 133 Blazzen @ 03/25/15 09:08 AM
How is Jose Altuve a 91 yet he has "B" potential? Thought 91 is an "A" ranking.

The last year, 2014, carries most weight and he hit .280.

You would only give him a 90 but agree with him getting a 99. Sorry, I'm confused.

The last year, 2014 carries 50%, which is NOT more than the 50% pf 2013 & 2012.
To clarify- I do not agree with him getting a 99.
I think you should hit at least .355 to get a 99.
SCEA has their own formula: Hit .335 get a 99
2014 50% .280
2012 & 2013 50% he hit .390
That's how he gets a 3 year average of .335, which in SCEA's eyes is good enough for a 99. A .335 is NOT good enough in my eyes, my minimum for a 99 would be .355.
Hope the confusion is gone.

Nope, still confused. I don't see it as a simple 3-year average. If it were, then why would they say last year carries 50% weight? You are basically taking 3years and combining them to get a 99, saying last year is nothing more than 33.3 percent of his average.

Oh, I see what you did there with the combination. So that's how they use that 50% weight factor. Even a player who hit .280 last year against LHP can get a 99 for contact. Well, I shouldn't be surprised.

2014 50% .280
2013 25% .388
2012 25% .392

It's an easy mistake to get caught up in that 50 percent .280 2014 avg.
But you can't dismiss his 2012/13 stats, which makes up 50 percent.
If it was a 33.3 percent avg., he would have an avg. of .353 .

But his avg. using:
2014 50% .280
2013 25% .388
2012 25% .392
gives him a .335 avg.

EDIT: you got it

Yeah, I got it, but I sure don't agree with what they did there. Geez, I wonder how all those LHPs were able to get him out last year, him having 99 contact. Eh, .280 is no 99 contact player in my eyes, especially when it was his last year!

No sir, I agree with you, he shouldn't be a 99. And I don't even have a problem using a one year avg. If I were making a historic roster for the 2014 season, I'd give him a 68 vs lefties.
