Re: **Chicago Cubs *2010* edits**
For which stat?
For batting avg I go by a .150-.350 range, so 0 = .150, 50 = .250 and 99 = .350+. Each attribute point = two hundreths, so for example I would give a .274 hitter about a 62. In Colvin's case, he had been on a tear when I posted my rating suggestions, and he has a really small career sample size to work with (I would normally go by a players previous 3 year stretch), so I bumped him up a little. Of course, it's not exact, but it seems to give pretty realistic results.
For HRs, I base my numbers on the total number of HRs per 650 PAs vs. L/R. 0 = 0 50 = 25 and 99 = 50+. I do this because you really can't just say x rating = y amount of HRs. Guys can get injured which makes it appear there was a decrease in power, but it really had more to do with the decreased # of PAs. Ex: In 2009 Aramis Ramirez hit just 15 HRs, but that had more to do with the fact that he only had 342 PAs. Anyhow...I divide the number of total HRs hit vs. L/R by the number of PAs vs. L/R (which gives the # of HRs hit per PA), multiply that number by 650 (to get the # of projected HRs hit in 650 PAs) and then multiply that by 2 (since 2 attribute points = 1 HR). I actually screwed up on the power ratings because I based it on 650 ABs, not PAs, so those ratings were probably about 5 too high...
I'll admit, I came upon these formulas w/ MLB 08 on PS2 when I used to do my own rosters/edits, so the attribute points may not translate exactly like they did 2 years ago.
