We have just posted the player ratings from Major League Baseball 2K9. If there is enough interest, I'll post the AAA, AA and A rosters as well.

Does anyone else notice there is no "batting eye" type of rating for hitters? How the heck will the computer know who should walk more and who should walk less?

That is odd.
Especially because they have a column marked PITCHBB(instead of just BB....meaning it looks like they want to differentiate.)
Maybe it was just left off somehow?

Wouldn't the "Hitting:Out By SO" rating cover that? That would be my guess anyway.

Not necessarily. I think that would just determine the rate at which a player strikes out (but not necessarily walk).

I'm hoping the BB rate is a hidden rating that is tied into the Inside Edge data. In the dev diary they said that Inside Edge drives pitcher AI. Hopefully Inside Edge determines aggression or batter's swing tendancies as well.

I don't know, that seems like a dangerous way of handling plate presence. Plus if it drives walks, why not strikeouts. Just seems like a reach, IMO.

There are guys who build there offensive game around their plate discipline (Bobby Abreu, Youkilis, etc). To not have it tied to any adjustable rating would be a mistake, IMO. I mean, in theory, you could tie everything to Inside Edge.

That's not to say it's tied to the one I said either...lol. I honestly don't know. I agree that ordinarily, that rating would be tied solely to strikeouts. I was just saying that maybe they tied it to the one rating (also not favorable) as I've seen it done before and didn't see anything else that made sense.

It seems they pared down their ratings, some of which I would have liked to see built upon. Oh well, I guess we'll find out how they did it soon enough.

Much nicer to read then what Ronnie posted at 2k
They seem on average to be pretty good this year , not to many 90s.

Yes Steve that would be awesome to post the minor leagues ratings, maybe we can get a idea of who is in the minors and start creating name changes for the,?
