Baseball doesn't have that many great players. Its like Madden. 99ovr goes to Brady and Manning. Or did. They don't give 99ovr to Manning, Brady, Peterson, Rodgers, Eli, Reed, Lewis, Jpp, Suh, Johnson, Stafford, Brees, Gore, MJD ect... 17 99ovr players is way to many. But let me guess created players in RTTS start around 55ovr and take forever and then some just to get a decent rating, yet Trout in his 2nd season in the MLB will be 99ovr, I highly doubt no matter what we'll be able to get a RTTS player at 99ovr as quickly as Trout at only 21 years old. So that would be your 3rd season in RTTS, highly doubt anything close to 99ovr will be possible. Not all things are perfect with this as much as fanboys praise MLB the Show. Great game, but bad ratings.

You can get your RTTS pitcher rated 99 before he finishes his rookie year, and as far as the ratings, i think all of these players deserve to be 99, especially taking their position into consideration.

I'd also add Joey Bats and RA Dickey as 99s

Utley not in the top five? Makes no sense at all.

There's this thing called defense ....

That & the position a player plays has an impact as well.

How so? He's been plagued with injuries the last two seasons, the game isn't going to go off of ratings of guys from 3 years ago. If so, Justin Morneau would be in like the top 5 1B, very iffy though.

Durability is huge in The Show... It can be the difference between a 90 and an 80.

Newbie here but I'm assuming a 99 ovr rated player has to be rated 99 in each of the different attributes associated with his position??

If this is the case, then I can't agree with having this many or even any 99 rated players.

So yes, I will be editing the player ratings myself!!

This isn't 2009, Utley can't stay on the field, he hasn't been top since then.

Oh no, oh god no, it's not like that. Each attribute gets its own separate rating. That's be awful if it was like that.
