MLB The Show 18 Player Ratings - Top 10 Players in Each Position

Before everyone goes into a frenzy, I think these are for DD and this blog fails to clarify that.

Per this article, Trout and company are still 99’s:

I suppose it is always possible this article is incorrect.

Really not a fan of the new "it goes to 11" mechanics for legends that led to these ratings, or the immortal cards that bodge together players best seasons to make a weird imaginary Frankenstein version of legends that never existed. Just seems like an artificial way of overpowering legend cards and underrating live series cards.

It will be interesting just how many legends they release that are better than Trout and Kershaw.

I love the scaling down. Loved it when 2k did it with the NBA, and I love that The Show has doen the same. I hate seeing all those 98 and 99's. Much reflective IMO. Thanks SDS the ratings look great at a quick glimpse. And well, if its for DD, lame. Because I play that as much as I play shuffleboard...0

Those overalls indicate they have reworked how they calculate overall ratings.

Does this mean Adrian Beltre is going to be a diamond? Didn't see that coming

I kinda like that they tuned down the ratings for these cards. Means getting flashback cards and legends card will be much nicer!

But man Brandon Crawford not a Top 10 SS is just horribly wrong.

so they aren't really the top 10 in DD? there are players rated higher available for use in DD?

The legends are going to be mostly higher I believe
