Agreed

Well, I can see the logic behind that, but I have simmed 3 seasons with various teams and when guys like...

Cole Hamels
David Wright
Zack Greinke

...and more are declining by 6-10 overall ratings points per year--obviously not supposed to happen.

You also have to look at potential rating a little differently than simply a player's ceiling. Giving Lincecum a "B" even though he may never improve would actually, within the game, cause him to regress to a "B" player.

At least I think that's how it works.

Re: Player Potential

I am seeing too that the star players are going down in rating every year, if only potential was editable.

Re: Player Potential

Players\ performance is very dynamic. It is not totally uncommon for a star player who has hit his ceiling to fall off a cliff and regress significantly in proceeding years.

I want a game that closely mirrors this unpredictability. Please don't change this.

Butler B, A
Soria B, A

On the other side
Alex Gordon A, should be a B

The problem is, it IS predictable when potential ratings are this low.

You WILL see significant decline in almost every one of the players I posted in that list. That's not realistic.
