Defense like Molina is to me worth 20 points in batting average. I also don't see Carlos Gonzalez being a 99. Braun is linked to performance enhancing drugs and 99 for him is suspect.

I meant the ruckus over who did & didn't get the 99 ratings. There's no reason for it.

I guess I just have to cope with what is defined as 99. Im so used to top-top guys (Rodgers, Brady) being 99's in Madden that, yes, it is weird to see so many 99's. But whatever, I wonder if that overall 99 has any correlation with any of the other attributes or if that is just a given for their overall and their other ratings dont equal up to their overall? If this is going to be the rating system, there shouldn't be any major leaguers below 75ovr probably.

Also, Chapman must be a reliever in this game.

In all serious is par for the course there is no middle ground with people. Everyone complains no matter what.

I think this is what a lot of people are not understanding about this.

Thanks for sharing bud. Good to see a Stro make a 90. My only hope of an increased BA.

Gonzalez is a 99 at home and a 50 on the road. I guess that would make him 75, seems about right.

Cargo should not be 99 overall. He has terrible home/away splits. If he played in a neutral park, he wouldn't be anywhere near 99.

Which brings me to my next point, do specific stadiums bring variations (i.e. ball going further in Colorado and Arizona as opposed to New York)?
