I created this for potentials it translates the 20-80 scouting scale to The Show 0-99 scale.
People tend to get biased just because some players are top prospects on their team but that doesn't mean that they have to be A potential, some players are considered top prospects because they are MLB ready and not necessarily because they have superstar potential, others have talent but also have major flaws that will probably prevent them from reaching their full potential, at the start of the year SCEA was giving most of the top prospects A pot but then changed to a more realistic approach, for example Sano was A pot but they changed him to B (88) because even if he reaches his offensive potential his low batting avg and fielding will likely prevent him from being a 90 OVR. We have to keep in mind the players strengths/weaknesses and start giving more B's and less A's because if we check just a few MLB players are 90 OVR and above.
Also some draft classes are deeper than others and a player that is the #1 prospect in a year could have been the #10 in another for example: Benintendi is considered a 65 while in past years there were prospects like Seager, Correa etc that were 70 or even 75. That 65 would put Beni in the 90-87 range which is acceptable given that he hasn't shown elite power. (Beni will be in the game just used him as an example)
Scale it's not perfect but could be of good use and will be a good starting point in order to get realistic potentials. Would be nice if every OSFM roster creator uses the same universal scale to get better results all around. Also when assigning the potentials we could consider age too and give a little boost to the young ones that are in their 1 or 2 Pro year because usually their scouting grade gets better as they develop.
