MLB 15 The Show: Diamond Dynasty Ratings Boost Predictions (8/9/15)

[GiantsMLB]

Crawford leads all shortstops in WAR, HR's, and SLG % but of course lets give him low 50's power. I know we shouldn't take the rating system too serious but seeing Elvis Andrus, Alcides Escobar, and Jose Iglesias being rated higher than him is just laughable.

well they dont look at rbis at all. Grichuk has a higher SLG than Bryant and has 100 fewer AB's. Grichuk and Duffy got snubbed yet Correa goes up 10 pts based off two months!

The update was just inconsistent. They rerate from scratch for some players yet some got ignored like Grichuk and Duffy.

And this is the Cardinals fan in me...but how the heck do the Cards pitchers not go up at all? When was the last time a team had 2.60 era? Ridiculous....

Cano being a 90 and Kipnis being an 85 is a joke! They ignore attributes like defense for these updates. Cano is not a good fielder anymore.

In reality, things like the hybrid rosters (They are great) shouldn't need to exist because the SCEA player ratings should be good and consistent enough on there own. The amount of work users need to put into the game to just make it slightly playable is rediculous. From ratings to player progression to the trade machine to actually gameplay. It is all a joke this year.

Considering all that's great about the game, this is too harsh. But I agree, the player ratings are a mess.

I don't Kipnis getting lowered. Why the heck would they do that? He's having a monster season.

Nelson Cruz went down 10 in power and leads the majors in HRs with Trout who also isnt in the 90's in any power category and below a bunch of guys.

Yea it's really annoying that 3 of the biggest powers hitters this year (Pujols, Cruz, and Trout) are all below 90 in power.

Yeah and then when I look down the top ten list the third is
31 hrs donaldson got nothing
30 hrs Teixeira took a four point power decrease
30 hrs JD Martinez got nothing
29 hrs Bryce took a 5 point power decrease
29 hrs Davis a 2 point power decrease
27 hrs Frazier with a 11 point power decrease
27 hrs Arenado 27 with a 18 points power decrease
27 hrs Stanton no change
thats your top 10 hr leaders in real life

Donaldson drives me nuts. Right now he is a platoon guy only in DD but in real life his numbers vs righties this year are straight up great. .283 avg and 24 hrs.
They also reduced JD Martinez's contact vs righties without raising his power which sucks. Todd Frazier made no sense and Arenado made absolutely 0 sense because his power numbers were already too low in the first place.

I'm thinking that SCEA will keep updating rosters week to week and some of the guys the screwed up on will get fixed. (hopefully)
