MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players at Each Position

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players at Each Position

Overall fair for us I'd say... happy to see Stanton's 94 and Fernandez's 92. Wouldn't be surprised to see guys like Cishek, Yelich, Ozuna just a few spots right after the Top 10 on these lists.

It is 50% based on last year but Bumgarner as been a top 15 pitcher maybe over the past 3 years that's why he isn't a 99 and he honestly doesn't deserve to be

I never felt he should be a 99, I actually felt he was close to where he should be ratings wise, it was someone else who felt he should be rated higher on the list. I like how they have redid the ratings system, to where we only see 3 99's, and Im not quite sure I would have given that many 99's, lol. Overall IMO this might be the best ratings we have seen with MLBTS.

Well in the playoffs Madbum better be rated 99!!

I like the rating system this year. Kershaw should be 99 but in the playoffs should be rated 70. I wish they had a playoff rating some players just play better than others in the playoffs. Sandoval is another one that comes to mind.

They have a clutch rating, which I believe relates to playoff performance/situations.

Description for Pitching Clutch in RTTS (and I assume it to be the same in all modes) is:

"Pitching Clutch affects your pitching ability when there are runners on base"

Whether that's all it does - who knows. Obviously that will, by nature, also have a pretty meaningful effect in the playoffs even if that's all it does.

This is one of those questions worth asking during the live stream with the SDS devs... does Clutch ratings affect things during the playoff games, not just while runners are on base?? Unfortunately I'm usually at work when the live streams and the commenting is active, so cannot do myself.

Not sure why you are getting mad when you broke the rules and got banned. No one forced you to do whatever it was you did.

I believe on one of the latest streams, the devs were about to start a game with the Giants, and somebody mentioned MadBum's overall rating and implied it was lower than expected. Then Russell mentioned that even though his ovr wasnt as high as some of the top pitchers, his clutch rating was pretty high due in part to his postseason performance.

Im sure there is more tied into that rating than just postseason performance and yeah maybe one of the devs could comment on that in one of the future streams.

I remember that, but there can be a difference between how Clutch attribute rating is assigned to a player and how that attribute plays out in the game, though.

Clutch isn't a very strong attribute, and it's entirely possible a guy like MadBum was given a high Clutch just to respond to people's expectation today that BadMum is a super-clutch guy. But if Clutch only works in RISP situations and such and not the whole time in important games like WS, then how the rating is given and its effect on the field would be different.

Clutch isn't really an ability anyways, so I think it's more of a "for-fun" type of thing than anything.

So what you're saying is Mike trout should be the #1 pick in a fantasy draft... I mean, Im not disagreeing, just interesting...

The Show wouldn't even be the first to suggest Trout #1 in a fantasy draft,
so I'm not disagreeing, I just don't even find interesting

I always thought Clutch for a pitcher was how well he would pitch out of jams, with RISP. Just like clutch for a hitter, is how well he will hit with RISP, and in late innings.


I don't think clutch means how well you perform in the Postseason only. Obviously if your clutch is high, you are probably more likely to perform better in the Postseason as well as regular season. Even though we have seen guys be just average in the regular season, yet seem to step it up a notch in the Postseason, be awful hard for the devs I imagine just to give a rating only for the Postseason, and it not have nothing to do with the regular season. Considering in the past what clutch ratings have been for guys, Im pretty sure its not directly just for the Postseason, cause I have seen guys with high clutch ratings, that haven't ever did anything in the Postseason, if that's the case, then Kershaw's clutch wouldn't be very high at all,lol.

I love it. I think it accurately depicts the premium on talent in the MLB and how hard it is to be a perennial MVP candidate. I'm glad King Felix finally got his due.

I agree, I like the new rating system, I wouldn't have been upset if there wasn't any 99's to be honest.


Overalls will always be a hit topic and debated no matter what because its all opinion based, along with some being bias. Just the nature of it.


Now I haven combed over the ratings that they showed us, but what I saw and remember I thought they were pretty solid. Really hard to know much about players until the game gets out and you can look thru all the ratings of a player, to see how they went about getting that overall. That's the most important, not so much the overall of a player.

yup. it seems like every year its tougher and tougher to b rated 90+...It looks like the potentials are following along with it. Now hopefully custom rosters dont blow it. The prospects who will start being built in 3 weeks hopefully wont be on steroids and hopefully we wont c half the prospects up by June of 2015 haha. The mixture of potential and performance progression should make it easier for most ppl to grade the kids a lot tougher.
