What do you mean by he is in the 110-118 range? Just because 99 is the highest number we can see on screen, could that theoretically be a higher number?

Yup some guys are over 99................................................ ...................................

I don't know about the OVR ratings, but some guys have player attributes that are computed to be over 99... Kimbrel's K/9 rating, for example. But the game engine accommodate only the value within 0 - 99, so his K/9 rating is maxed out at 99.

I think the similar situation with OVRs.

Not complaining, but how does cutchs ratings then result in a 99?

Still dont understand how that adds up.

Once again can edit so not a problem.

The Show's overall ratings are not calculated like other games calculate them. That's what a lot of people are misunderstanding.

I don't mind the change to numerical ratings at all. Once I get into the season I barely even let myself look at those anyway, so it's not a big deal to me.

Is there any way that we'll see an option to hide ratings in the future? I think that would kind of please both ends of the spectrum, no?

A bit out of it, but i play fifa as well as the show and nobody is rated 99, lionel messi the best player in the world, is rated 95 which the show should follow, as no player is perfect. I'm a big nats fan and strasburg should never be rated 99, about 88. too many there are rated as 99, only 7 guys in history deserve a 99, cobb, ruth, mays, musial, cy young, koufax and gehrig

Im sick of this comparing ratings to all time greats... this isn't MLB the Show all time greats... It's MLB the Show 13, it's what players are elite in today's game. Thats all that matters... you all get caught up in the meaning of a 99... All it means is that that player is really good and you cannot deny that with any of those 17

If players do add up to over 99, why not scale the overall to be at a 1-99 scale, where the top rated player (whatever it is, 120, 130 whatever) is 99 and everyone else is lower, instead of displaying everyone at or over 99 as 99. Or am I misunderstanding how the ratings are displayed. So if you have three players 110, 105, 99 the game displays them all as 99?

That's what Ramone is saying...yes.

Actually....guys want there to be more separation...and what SCEA is doing allows for that.
Knocking down others doesn't expand the ratings to allow for more separation between players.

I do understand the confusion however.....

I'm also interpreting that as even if they "would" be rated as a 110 in a certain attribute, the sim engine only recognizes them as a 99.

Why does knocking down the ratings not do that for the players rated over 99? It wouldn't help for those rated below, in fact it would cause less separation for lower rated players if you scale it.

For instance if three players are rated 120, 110 and 99 the end user doesn't see this and doesn't know if the game rates one SS at 99 more than another at 99, even if one is 120 and one is 110 according to the game. To the player they are the same overall since they can't see what's under the hood.

If the game does think one player is better 120 vs 110, why not show this to the end user. So if 120 was the best player in the league it would be 99, 97, 95 or something for those three players. If its going to be there as a number, why not give the user this info? It does cause lower rated players to have less separation though if you scale it since its only an issue with players rated over 99. its just maybe people would be more accepting of the numbers on overall if all the top guys were not rated 99.

I like number ratings
