MLB 14 The Show Screenshots - Starting Lineups, Pitcher Rotations and Ratings

[og236]

Some ratings are debatable, like Fernandez being above established guys like Wainwright & Verlander... But I like that there's not a big amount of 90+ players

In all fairness, Verlander did have an off year last year. It wasn't until the very end of the year and into the playoffs where he pitched like the Verlander of old. Like I've told many people, I blame Kate Upton for his down year. haha so yeah, I'm not complaining about King Felix having a higher rating than him.

Tanaka does not pitch until April 4 (friday)...he will likely not appear in the game until the 2nd roster update.

Haha who wouldn't be a little distracted with Kate Upton Lol but since The Show rates based on past 3 seasons, I don't understand how Fernandez is rated higher than Verlander & Wainwright

P.S. Did you mistake Jose Fernandez & read it as King Felix?

Mariners look about right, although I would say Paxton should be on par with Walker at least for now.

Nova a 75 is BS. Dude has a 29-19 record the last 3 years and had a 3.10 ERA last season with 2 shutouts. BS.

It also looks like some of the pitcher ratings might've been rebalanced this year - in '13 starters' K/9 was roughly 10 less points than real life, looks closer to -20 now.

Here are Felix's ratings from last year:

99 stamina
84 clutch
73 H/9
82 HR/9
75 K/9
81 BB/9

Drops across the board despite having the best peripherals of his career, so the only explanation is rebalancing...
