But if someone tells me an overall, I can gather whether or not they fixed other roster editor's **** ups such as taking all attributes relating to Andrew McCutchen's base running ability and making them 45 or lower.

??? 45 br ability is absurd for mccutchen

His stealing and speed were there as well. I assume whoever's roster I downloaded was mad about something lol.

Whenever I seen him as an 84 overall, I knew something was off and those are the three primary changes I seen to him.

That's my point! We can't just release a player though outside of franchise mode. We're allowed to do this only in franchise mode in which I haven't started yet. Trying to get all of these moves right but not being able to with the roster restrictions. Oh well, it will have to be done once I start my chise! Thanks!

Getting pretty anxious about these now. Don't wanna be that guy asking for a release date because I understand the crazy amount of time it takes, especially with this amount of detail, so as politely as I can ask... Is there any info on what needs done yet or how far along you guys are?

I am pretty sure McCutchen is the same from our last release, but I will take a look at his speed and see when I get hold of the roster

We will have all trades up to date with rosters corrected by importing over "extra" players from the trade. There will also be extras from most organizations in the FA pool

Sorry guys, I have had an extremely busy and haven't been able to help much this week which I am sure has put things behind. I am going to try to help more this week

No one was mad, that's not how we do things. The numbers we got from zips and put through knights position player chart dictated those original numbers. McCutchen has been fantastically successful stealing bases this season 17 for 18, which blows his career norm out of the water. He's still only on pace for 28 attempts though. He hasn't finished a season with less than 10 CS since 2009 and is usually good for around 35 attempts on average. So what do we do? Take into account his entire career or focus solely on this season? Obviously, we pay attention to ratings and oddities and adjust where necessary. We try to justify everything. It takes a while to sort everything out to see where ratings are off. No one is rated on an emotional whim. In fact, we have a saying: "don't rate a guy if you're irritable today"
