Rating question

What is considered an "average" rating for the overall rating? Would that also be the average for the rest?

TLDR: 60 is "league-average" (which I assume to be major-league average), although I don't know whether they're using the 99 or 125 point scale as a base for that. It seems like that refers to individual ratings and not overall.

Re: Rating question

On an MLB roster I would say that the overall would be around 75-82. As for individual ratings 50-65 seem to be what most those guys have, they may have an attribute or two that touch 70-80. But for the most part that’s what I’ve seen in my franchise for average players. I’m also 10 years in on a franchise that I started on The Show 15. So my average could be a little different.

Re: Rating question

The average mlb attribute rating for a hitter should be 62 which would translate to around a 73 overall. Similar for a pitcher.

Definitely not close to 80 overall. That is the downside to a lot of rosters and what creates the imbalance later.

I edit the FM rosters to have the average potential be a 76. Really makes a difference in the long run.

Ok thanks dudes (or dudettes if any of you is one). It helps me understand a little better.

I was thinking the individual ratings would be on a scale the same as overall, but I guess that isn't the case.

Good article. I'd never seen it.
