MLB 13 The Show - Overall Team Ratings, Including Batting, Pitching and Defense

[MLB Bob]

I guess thats whats behind this, people value stats differently. And no one is wrong because they are giving an opinion. And we still dont know what stats and what percentage SCEA values to make their ratings

Not gonna read 34 pages but the ratings are a real head scratcher.

Also dont understand how Rays are 15th and Arizona is 14th considering

Arizona are 8 places higher in hitting
Rays are 10 places higher in pitching
Rays are 13 places higher in defence

So overall Rays 14 places higher than arizona...but are 1 place behind them in overall rankings?

The overall rating seems to take hitting into account more that pitching or defense. Look at the Tigers. It makes sense if you take that into account that Arizona is rated higher in hitting. Maybe not to you, but to the game it makes sense.

Wow - Giants get no love. That's okay, they'll be sitting there polishing their rings in the shadow of their two recent World Championship trophies while the Yankees and Braves pound their chest about their ratings.... LoL

This right here. Chemistry is HUGE in baseball. I've been watching a looooong time (I'm old) and I don't know if I've ever seen a team with the kind of chemistry the Giants had last year. Maybe the '79 Pirates.

Glad to see three teams below the Cubs!

Looks like power once again is a huge factor in player overall ratings, Mike Napoli and Jarrod Saltalamacchia, both low contact, below average fielders have ratings of 89 and 82, respectively.
