P.S. Just post their name, potential, and what you think it should be. That is all, please don't clutter the thread.

*Update: It's a bug and it will be fixed in the next roster update.

Yankees Brett Gardner's potential should be a B, and his fielding should be a B too

I watch every Yankee game and am a huge fan and I would not give him anything above a C potential. He is not a young prospect any more, he is 26 going on 27. At this point a player usually reaches his peak. He is a 4th outfielder type.

As a Mets fan, I havae to disagree with some of these. Ollie's potential looks fine to me. He's pitched plenty and been inconsistent and I don't think he'll all of a sudden figure it out and become better than he was in '07. Omir Santos is a journeyman catcher who's now 4th on the depth chart. Cora is ancient, I don't see him getting any better. Anderson Hernandez is a bum, no more than a AAA player at this stage of his career. Francouer hasn't shown the ability to put it all together, so I think a C grade would be better...not B.

Thole I would bump up to a B actually, since he hit over .300 and can handle the bat already in the bigs and just needs to work on his catching skills, think he can be a perennial .300 hitter.

Wright and Reyes should both be B's. We've probably seen them have their best years, but they shouldn't degrade at an F clip. An A grade would be too much IMO.

Just my 2 cents!!! Go Mets

I want to know if patching the "potential" issue in the roster will fix the CPU trading whilst set on manual.

It will prob fix the crazy trades but will it fix the CPU overiding your settings?

Again, this is a HUGE issue and will be a game breaker for me. I do not like to see "IF" there is a 2nd patch, in regards to this problem.

I understand the whole C.Y.A. aspect of the "IF" word, but sorry $60.00 for an "IF" in regard to the CPU screwing up your game does not cut it.

How many other games you paid $60 for even gave you?
1. The opportunity to say.."it doesn't cut it"
2. A response 1 day after release

In regards to the game over riding....what's happening?
Is it when you hit auto to fix something...and the CPU making trades for you.
If so...I think it's been said that they found that bug

Knight,

More importantly...how are those Rosters coming along? lol

On a serious note Knight...are your classic rosters that you made this past year still available and will they work for The Show 10? If so where can I find them in the vault? Enough questions for you? lol Thanks again Knight for all you do

I know it was stated that it was found. I just expected more than an "If there is another patch" after the one just released (that was worked on pre-release).

I guess I am a little disappointed in myself that I bought the game on release day. I should have waited, lesson learned.

No..they won't work in '10
There will be a couple of Classic rosters this year.

I agree that Perez, Pellfrey and a lot of the other suggestions are overrating the Mets and I may be OK with B's for Reyes and Wright, but why are you suggesting that a 27 year old (Wright) and 26 year old (Reyes) have already peaked as players?

# 150 Dmrepsuga5 @ 03/04/10 11:32 AM

By saying they've had their best years, I mean they can still consistently have those types of good, big years, but I think they have peaked. That's not a bad thing.

Wright is a .300 hitter able to hit 30 HR, and drive in 100 RBI (see '05-'08). this makes him a GREAT player. but that's his peak (which isn't a bad peak to have). I don't think he'll be a .330 hitter who hits 45+ HR and drives in 150. So, I don't think an A potential is needed, because how much better can he get? I just don't want him to drastically decline with an F rating.

Same with Reyes. I believe his '06 will be his career year. He hit .300, 19 HR, 81 RBI, and stole 64 bags. I think he has the ability to consistently do that (maybe a little less), just not exactly MORE than that. He's a GREAT players if he can do that. Hence a B grade for "future" potential.

You are a good man my friend

# 152 shoe @ 03/04/10 11:55 AM

Casey McGehee (Milwaukee) should not be an F.

He hit .301 last year with 16 home runs and was in contention for Rookie of the Year.

# 153 mikemulloy @ 03/04/10 12:59 PM

It seems like people are posting that all the players that are already currently stars should have A potential ratings. Is Dustin Pedroia still going to develop so much that he deserves an A rating? (I'm a Red Sox fan, I'm picking one of my own to show I'm not biased) Isn't potential grading the ability to improve their current skills?

Chances are, a guy like Albert Pujols has maxed out his potential at his age. Will he improve? Maybe. Could he decline? Maybe. Guys like that should have C potential, because there isn't that much room to grow.

Am I misunderstanding? Is saying a player has B potential just mean that the max he could reach as a player is having his rating bar filled 80-89%?

Logically one would think that potential ratings in any game would be to show a players ceiling. However in this game, for some reason, they made it so potential affects the players staying power at the rating they start out with.

Hope that helps.

Plus, it really affects how teams value their players. That's why when you sim/play through a season with the default rosters, the Twins are desperate to trade/release Joe Mauer, and the Red Sox place Jon Lester on the trading block immediately.

# 156 Flaxseed Oil @ 03/04/10 07:10 PM

Mark Melancon is one of the Yankees best prospects. His potential on TS10 is all D's. I'd say he is a least a B prospect and his velocity is 94-95.

# 157 cibo2 @ 03/04/10 07:56 PM

Alfredo Aceves D, B
Chad Gaudin D, C
Mark Melancon D, B
Francisco Cervelli D, B
Ramiro Pena D, B
Brett Gardner C, B
Randy Winn B, C
Greg Golson D, C
Jamie Hoffman D, B
Shelley Duncan D, C
Juan Miranda D, C
Nick Swisher C, B
Ian Kennedy D, B
Robinson Cano D, A
Kei Igawa D, C

# 158 econoodle @ 03/04/10 08:48 PM

oh lordie, this whole thread no one has recommended that any of their teams players potential go DOWN.
homerism is in da houuuuuse

# 159 Knight165 @ 03/04/10 09:19 PM

For me...
David Wright is an F should be a B
Jose Reyes is an F...should be a B or an A

The main thing I hope for is this.
Fake players...about 30 A potential players...any more and that would be too many IMO.
Tough to say on the B guys...maybe 100-150?
Plenty of C's...and some D's and F's

# 160 faster @ 03/04/10 09:49 PM

David Wright should be a B? Don't you think he's as good as he's going to get? If he's at his highest point, he should be an F then, meaning he has no potential to develop further. That's the way I always read potential.
