MLB 13 The Show - The Player Ratings Algorithm Has Changed, 17 Players Rated 99

[BenGerman]

I don't mind the change to numerical ratings at all. Once I get into the season I barely even let myself look at those anyway, so it's not a big deal to me.

Is there any way that we'll see an option to hide ratings in the future? I think that would kind of please both ends of the spectrum, no?

I'm a big nats fan and strasburg should never be rated 99, about 88. too many there are rated as 99, only 7 guys in history deserve a 99, cobb, ruth, mays, musial, cy young, koufax and gehrig

Im sick of this comparing ratings to all time greats... this isn't MLB the Show all time greats... It's MLB the Show 13, it's what players are elite in today's game. Thats all that matters... you all get caught up in the meaning of a 99... All it means is that that player is really good and you cannot deny that with any of those 17

If players do add up to over 99, why not scale the overall to be at a 1-99 scale, where the top rated player (whatever it is, 120, 130 whatever) is 99 and everyone else is lower, instead of displaying everyone at or over 99 as 99. Or am I misunderstanding how the ratings are displayed. So if you have three players 110, 105, 99 the game displays them all as 99?

That's what Ramone is saying...yes.

Actually....guys want there to be more separation...and what SCEA is doing allows for that.
Knocking down others doesn't expand the ratings to allow for more separation between players.

I do understand the confusion however.....
