MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players For Each Team

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players For Each Team

Huge fan of the Texas Rangers, but I think Colby Lewis is too high. The guys lost a lot of his game in the last couple of years.

I haven't looked over his /9's but losing a lot of games isn't going to reflect in his rating. Unless it's factored into pitching clutch?

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players For Each Team

Ok, I think his overall rating in this game is acceptable, but looking solely at his numbers he currently is 91-50 over 7 seasons and in only two seasons has reached the 200 Innings pitched plateau; he has managed to start 30+ games for the past 6 seasons. So, you can't possibly tell me that these stats justify a seven year $210 million dollar contract plus $50 million dollar signing bonus.


Getting back to his rating, what is it a 94? Anyway if that is his overall than his potential should be about 86-88 I don't consider him a number 1 starter. The money that he will receive leads to believe that he is considered to be in the same category as Mike Trout and Clayton Kershaw (Not even close IMO).

Kershaw is 98-49 in that same span.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players For Each Team

Lol why are you guys talking about wins and loses like those make any difference in the ratings? Over the last 3 seasons Scherzer has been the 3rd best starter in baseball. 10.46 K/9, 2.59 BB/9, 0.85 HR/9, and a .226 AVG against warrant a 94 or whatever he is.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players For Each Team

As far as The Angels are concerned, the OVRs look ok. I think Richards and Calhoun are a bit underrated here, but considering their method of evaluating players I can understand how they came to those ratings. What I don't understand is how Dee Gordon is rated higher than Howie Kendrick. Gordon has had one really good half season due to an abnormally high BABIP, while the rest of his career has shown a below average ability to get on base, while Kendrick is coming off one of his best years both offensively and defensively, and has proven to be one of the more consistent 2b in the game. Call me a homer if you want(I realize he's on the Dodgers now), but that just doesn't make sense to me. Does speed really make all the difference?

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players For Each Team

From what I saw I felt the ratings of players looks pretty well done. Always going to be disagreements when it comes to ratings, just human nature to have some bias in you.


I was happy with ratings I saw of Reds players, some might even be a tad high.


Cant wait to get the game and check it all out, really hope pitchers repertoires are improved, as this is the worst thing in this game that they do. Very few straight changes thrown, yet in MLBTS that's what they give almost every pitcher, would like to see them put more effort in this area to be more accurate, although if thast all we have to worry about them that's pretty good

Imo, Weaver is a better pitcher than 80. He's definitely better than Shoemaker & Shoe is rated higher. Agreed about Richards, though. He's gonna be our ace for a while.

[BravoSir]

It was cool to see that I was close to the mark with some of my predictions with my team:

- RF Markakis 81
- CF Young Jr 77
- 1B Freeman 84
- LF Gomes (75-ish?)
- 3B CJohnson (76 likely)
- C Bethancourt 68
- 2B Callaspo (71-ish)
- SS Simmons 84

- C Pierzynski 73
- IF KJohnson (74-ish)
- OF Almonte (69-ish)
- IF Gosselin (76-ish)
- OF Perez (68-ish)

- Teheran 84
- Wood 82
- Miller 80
- Minor 81
- Stults 74

- Wandy 75
- Russell 76-ish
- Outman 70?
- Kohn 72?
- Grilli 77
- Vizcaino 60
- Kimbrel 96

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players For Each Team

Judging a pitcher by how many wins he has is as useless as judging a hitters ability on how many RBI's he can drive in. Such a pointless stat when arguing a players case.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players For Each Team

Max Scherzer is overrated as is Tanaka.


Why does Delabar have a higher overall than Loup and Cecil?


Thank god for OFSM

Tanaka is not overrated. He was dirty last year before his injury. Come on. Be reasonable. If it wasn't for his injury he would have played in the All-star game and been right there with Abreu for ROY. Scherzer has been one of the most consistent pitchers in the game for the past 3 years and eats innings. Not to mention the Cy Young in 2013.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players For Each Team

Rizzo at 84 is very low. Castro at 80 is low.

They had Jon Lester, Cole Hamels at B potential, and Josh Harrison at an A. Thats absurd putting Harrison's potential over two bona fide aces.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players For Each Team

So all the Rockies pitchers suck this year (because that humidor can only do so much)?

Challenge accepted.

I'll put my RTTS pitcher there and prove them all wrong.
