[MR.RANDOM]

john bowker D should be B
travis ishikawa D should be C (his defence should be up with derrek lee)
brian wilson should have A potential based off two straight all-star potential years

[MR.RANDOM]

since this is a roster update bowker should be moved to RF as he is an OF his potential there should be B and at 1st a C

jeremy acccardo should be a B potential

Not sure if this is supposed to go here, because it's not "potential" related, but my thread on this was locked with this thread as a link, so here goes:

Just going through and looking at everyone's roster when I noticed that several teams have pitchers inserted either on the benches or into the starting lineups at the AA and AAA levels, while those same teams have catchers as RP's at the same level.

I've been able to fix it just by sending the pitcher and catcher down a level and then calling them up, but just wanted to make somebody aware if they weren't already.

Teams I've seen this happen with:

Baltimore

New York Yankees -AAA Edwar Ramirez as a position player

Detroit - AAA pitcher on the bench, AA catcher as RP

Seattle - AAA P Steven Shell on the bench, AA catcher as RP

Florida - AAA P Tim Wood - bench, AA catcher -RP

Washington - AAA P Ron Villone, AAA catcher

Cincinnati - AAA P Pedro Viola, AA catcher

Los Angeles - AAA P Rondell Putnam as Starting C, no other players affected

San Diego - AA P, no other players affected

San Fransisco - AAA P Tony Pena Jr, AA catcher

Again, just trying to bring this to someone's attention, not a major deal by any means.

Will potential decrease with age? Trends show that most player peak around 30. So, I would hope we don't see everyone that is an A potential at 28, still be an A potential at 33. That would make no sense for progression.

This is one of the issues that kills Madden franchise.

I hope SCEA doens't play into the fanboys wanting their home teams guys to have great ratings.

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Player Potential Fix Coming in Next Roster Update

Why not just allow the person playing the game to fix the potential settings himself? It would save an awful lot of hassle for the designers of the game, and it would allow everyone their own subjective input. I think the very nature of rating a player is subjective anyway, so why try to put a number on it when it's probably not going to be "right" to most people?

Just a thought.

I'll have to agree with you. That has me a little concerned as well. I am a die hard REDS fan but I know most of their guys dont have great potential. I have see some flaws of course but not as bad as some have mentioned

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Player Potential Fix Coming in Next Roster Update

I have neglected to look at his player potential rating, but Mat Gamel of the Brewers currently on the game is the 4th ranked 3rd baseman when looking at the whole Brewer system in the game.
Baseball America has him 89th out of the top 100 propects. Just passing it along.

more giants velez should be a C, j.sanchez should be at least a C (has B potential but is very inconsistant), schieholtz and burriss both D nate should be a B or C burriss at least a C possibly B if your generous, romo is the same as burriss. all else looks fine

Exactly. I look at some of these guys entries and they're (for example) heavy on promoting the Giants (like giving all their guys A's and B's) and I'm like "why?" and then I see their avatar is the Giants logo and then I'm like "oh yeah. that's why."

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Player Potential Fix Coming in Next Roster Update

Doug Fister B or C

This is the kind of reason I advocate allowing users to be able to create their own "Potential" scores. In my mind, Doug Fister simply isn't a good pitcher at all (please don't think I'm singling you out, RunAndShoot, because I'm a huge Mariners fan -- I'm simply using Fister as a microcosm of the entirety of this thread's responses).

Again, I think it would save massive time for the game designers and produce much less anguish and despair from the fans if they could generate their own "Potential" scores.


(Yes, I realize the game designers don't generally do this because they believe it will impact sales in the future if a person can go in and change the potential of a player and not have to get next year's game when so-and-so "will be good in the game." I think that's short-sighted, though. I think it's a waste to have potential scores based off of game designers' thoughts on baseball. How many baseball game designers are fluent in sabermetrics? Scouting? Probably none.

And designers, it's not that I don't love you. I adore The Show, and will buy it year in and year out. But I think in order to make the best product, alterable potential scores would be in your best interest to please the masses.)

Just a thought.

Kolbe or Russell already said why they couldnt make this adjustable by the end user, I dont remember what the exact reason was, but I thought it had something to do with it causing the game to crash. Either way, its been mentioned just today so there is a reason.
