Great news Russell! Thanks.

So do we need to keep providing Players and Potential/Correct Potential?

Re: Player Potential

Will the large amount of generic A potential pitchers be corrected as well?

Re: Player Potential

David Wright an F ?

Hanley Ramirez a C ? Best player in baseball a C potential. Interesting.

Also, hopefully the generic made up starting pitchers and players who are an A potential will be fixed as well.

Re: Player Potential

David Wright an F ? Just cause he had a disappointing year in 09, he is still one of the top players in the game. Should be an A.

Hanley Ramirez a C ? Best player in baseball a C potential. interesting.

Potential was just annouced as a bug, read the thread!

Re: Player Potential

Maybe my perception is off on this, but I feel like SCEA does a much much better job of listening to, and reaching out to the customer base, when compared to the others out there (EA, 2K, etc)

they heard some gripes, asked some questions, and will fix it quickly.

I work for a software (commercial B2B) company and know how hard it is to catch everything before a release. It is the ability to fix the things that a user notices in a prompt manner that make a company great.

Kudos guys.

Re: Player Potential

was never too worried about this because it will be fixed, which has now been verified. also, i think their next fix will be the waivers, just give em some time, and the flaws will be corrected and the spectacular gameplay will shine.

Re: Player Potential

I love the Reds, but I disagree with all these posted. None of these guys are any good. They are average/below average players at best. There are good Reds prospects that need to have the great potential ratings like: Francisco, Alonzo, Heisey, Chapman, Wood, Frazier, and Leake. Dont get these guys above more credit than they deserve. I watch every game being a Reds fan, but you have to be able to distinquish from what your favorites teams guys are talent wise vs. what your perception/wishes their talent was.

Guys everywhere do this far too often. I am not ripping you at all, but you have to take the approach of watching all guys and comparing them to the league around them. None of the guys you mentioned are rising stars or even rising. Come on now, the guys I mentioned above are the Reds "rising stars."

Thanks.

thanks? thanks for what? if you weren't ripping on me it sounded awful close...

Dickerson isn't a B? okay C...I'll I'm saying is he was a B last year...
Paul Janish? he was a C last year w/ S...he had a .991 fielding percentage good for best in the majors among SS and you think he's an F?
Matt Maloney was a C last season and made his first appearance in the majors...how can you say he doesn't deserve at least a B? he's 26...maybe a homer, but I do know my stuff and I know the Reds minor league system man...
Wilkin Castillo was a C last year, I'm not trying to make him any better than he is man...they said its a bug...
Lehr, Fisher, Herrara were all C's last season, Herrara is 24! really? he isn't a B?

thanks?

Hey Russell - any chance of making potential something that can be edited? Curious as to why it was made static.

Thanks for always being on top of things!

No we can't do that it would break the system. This is why Kolbe and Jeff haven't given users the ability to do this yet. The way the game works is there are only so many A potential guys, B potential, etc......

Re: Player Potential

You're putting the cart before the horse though.

I never understood why people want to see stats dictate a player's overall rating.

A player is rated based on his 'talent'; if he under performs, it doesn't mean he lost his 'talent', if he over-performs it doesn't mean he's more talented. It just means he had a better year than his talent would suggest, or a worse year than his talent would suggest. This happens all the time.

I think players should progress/regress based on the well established age curve.

Players peak at ages 26-29 and then decline after that.

Stats/performance should never dictate a player's core ratings, unless he's very young, and his talent is improving as he matures in the league.

How do you think they get the ratings in the first place? They use the stats. In my perfect world, there would be no potential rating for players that have at least three years in the majors. By then you should already know what their potential is. They should use the three years of weighted stats just like they do to create the players in the first place, with an obvious decline starting sometime after 30. I really don't think it is putting the cart before the horse to use the exact same methodology that the developers use.
