While I was waiting for OSFM this year I said screw it and stuck with him at first. He was my best pitcher 6-1 with an Era under 2. That was about a month and a bit in. I look and he's starting to drop and starts getting drilled in his starts. Within 2 weeks he lost mph on his knuckle ball (which makes zero sense)
And every other stat too. Buehrle same thing just not as bad. It had nothing to do with me giving any sort of interest about his ratings. I've never cared ever about ratings. It's a number. It did have everything to do with him being horrible and the fact that he's going to be useless by the all star break and that the only real reason I could see was his ratings plummeting no matter what I do.
Again I could care less about what someone's overall rating is and I think your misunderstanding me that I do. I promise I don't. I know their are a lot of guys that moan that so and so is only a whatever But im definetly not one. Hes noticeably terrible in game.
I said it before and ill try and be clearer. Also for the sake of this argument you need to assume his stats are comparable to his real life stats. If mlb 14 the game felt it was realistic that Dickey lost 8 mph on his pitches in one year than in mlb 15 that probably should've been the case on the default roster. SCEA's roster. If you compare Dickey's individual ratings after 1 year on mlb 14 they should be similar to his ratings on mlb 15 default roster If IMO the regression system is to be considered realistic. I think that that's fair. But they aren't close. Not even remotely. Not even if dickey has a great year. In 14 after one year his ratings, overall and individual pitch speed, h/9, whatever are abysmal. No matter what. But in 15 they are very similar to where he started in 14. I just can't believe that I'm the only one that thinks that doesn't make sense lol.
So clearly I'm not understanding what's going on with you saying ratings don't really mean anything. You definetly know more than me about the ratings with all the work you do on rosters and such (which I'm very thankful for BTW lol) I guess more clarification would be nice.
Im guessing you haven't played as the jays but buehrle and dickey are both useless the way the game handles regression. Basically willard (who knows the jays roster better than anyone IMO) said in his jays thread I believe, that he manually edits dickey's ratings so he doesn't decline so rapidly. I really shouldn't have to do that.
