On the last sentence no it won't. They don't change the ratings for the SCEA players.

Thank you I didn't realize that.
And I just want to reiterate that I'm not here throwing a fit. Like I said it's not just the Cubs. There's a few other talents that baffle me as well with even C rated potential. SCEA does a fine job; some are just head scratchers is all. This game is great I have zero issues with it. Just wondering how they can miss big on some.

Guess OSFM's rosters will fix that. Not to mention Almora has some random name. Lol

Almora isnt in the game yet as he hasnt played in MLB yet. Not sure who you are referring to

Almora's name is something like "Whitlock". Service time should have no bearing on being able to correctly name a top prospect. Nailing the prospects isn't really my big gripe. That's what OSFM's rosters are for.
This is simply a discussion, nothing more, nothing less.

He has ZERO service time. Meaning he IS NOT in the MLBPA, meaning he CANNOT have his likeness used in the game without SCEA going and negotiating a deal with him to use his likeness.

Been playing this game since its first release and never realized that. Thank you for clearing that up.

SCEA cannot enter in any players that have not played in a game and that are not part of MLBPA. If Almora hasn't played in the majors, legally they cannot put his name or likeness in the game.

As a Cubs fan I'm more annoyed that, after years of having Ryne Sandberg's batting stance in the game, they somehow gave him an incorrect stance when creating him as a legend.

Where's the love?

Schwarber isn't a great defensive player but he's better than he gets credit for. He and Soler were two of he biggest post season performers last year. Lol
I understand I can change it but Schwarber should be an A without a doubt. He will hit for power and average. I wasn't ranting I was just confused as to how they came up with it. And Almora is one of the highest rated prospects in the farm of any farm. He couldn't get a name?

Yes but the potential reflects his overall potential as an overall player. So if you agree he could be an A bat but only a D or C glove... that still doesn't equal an A potential overall.

So you guys are saying Schwarber is an above average fielder in LF?

Nobody said that. He's an average defender with plus bat.

Unless it has been changed, potential is editable. So if you don't like it, change it.

Also from what I can tell there are very few players with A potential an the Cubs already have Bryant, Russell and Baez as A potentials, anyway, so build a bridge and get over Schwarber and Soler not being A potential.

Shots fired.

I could've phrased some of it better and not said "build a bridge and get over it." That was wrong, apologies to the OP and anyone annoyed about it.

BTW, for anyone that doesn't know, and cause I wasn't sure myself, potential is editable.

Are you joking? Almora is a fringe top 50 prospect that is currently one of the most overrated in baseball still due to his perspective potential from high school. You don't names or faces in the game officially until you play a big league game, and lets be honest he's no where near ready for that. And you want an A for Schwarber? He had a nice season but he's the same age as guys who already have Major League mvps to their name, and who are far more complete players. Should those guy be A++++ or what is your suggestion? He's certainly not on the level of the Trouts, Harpers, and Machado's of the world yet, and I doubt ever.

If Byron Buxton for example was half as fast, half as good defensively, and didn't have a arm capable of throwing a 97mph fastball maybe Almora would be on his level as a prospect.

Re: LOVE the game but how in the heck are Schwarber and Soler's potential a B?

A potential should be reserved for elite superstars imo..I for one am glad they have chosen not to hand A potential out casually.

And no, I don't think either deserve A potential. I'd give Schwarber 85-88 potential and Soler 80-84.
