Fielding ability rating

[mooch49]

Going through the ratings and about to change anticipation attribute to 25 for every player, I noticed that the fielding ability for everyone at their current position is 100. I am thinking the fielding ability could cause more errors if decreased. For instance, I play as the Mets. I changed Daniel Murphy's fielding ability to like 75. There is no way he is 100. So when I play a game, he starts bobbling the ball all over the place. Not sure if anyone else has made this find. But it could be something to consider when editing rosters.

You don't want to change that attribute. The 100 is what 2k gives players for their primary position.

If your looking to create poorer fielders then i'd look at lowering their glove, range and throwing accuracy.

For info purposes in reditor the in game 100 for fielding rating is shown as a 58.30

I thought maybe it was a bug or something. Don't really understand the logic behind 2K's theory though. Fielding ability should correspond to just that, their ability at a certain position. There is no way Lucas Duda FA should be 100 at LF. But I'll take your word for it that it's 2K's way of identifying a player's primary position. Thanks for the quick response.
