MLB The Show: Corey Kluber's Cy Young Performance Boosted His Ratings

[WaitTilNextYear]

This game is broken and unplayable until Kluber gets that 99 OVR; basically it's just a port of '14 or a roster update at best.*




*Note that this is just me trying to fit all of everyone's favorite buzz words into the same sentence and does not reflect my actual opinion on the matter.

Best pitcher in the AL in 2014, that's debatable, though I can go with it.
Best pitcher in the AL, no qualifier? I'm going with King Felix #1
#2 David Price
#3 Chris Sale
#4 Kluber
#5 Yu Darvish (when healthy, lol there's a qualifier after all)

Here;s another qualifier: If Max Scherzer was still a Tiger, then I'd have him 3rd or 4th.
Verlander could easily have been in my top 5.

You list officially became invalid after mentioning Verlander at all.

Last 3 years he is 18th in ERA, 8th in FIP, 13th in K/9, 36th in BB/9, 7th in HR/9, The only stat that says he should be top 5 is WAR and thats just because he had 7 in 2012. His 3.99 ERA the last 2 years is 32nd among qualified pitchers. He was top(bottom) 5 in something last year though. 5th worst ERA.

Yeah, he's had a rough couple years, but I'm hoping he's ready for a comeback this year.

Yeah well I hope his arm falls off.

[tnacrimson]

really depends because who are the 10 rated above him i assume are king felix herndez, kershaw, madison bum(should recive just as generas as of a boost),chris sale(maybe),max sherezer, david price, john lester(?),wanio, wanna say johnny cueto, and i dont know a tenth thats probley some good company all of which have been good pitchers in the past and have won and or came in second in cy voting so 90 is decent ecspilly for a jump the show series isnt one of those games that likes to give people giant leaps in rating so that was generous

[@legendm0de]

This just begs the question, Why is baseball of all sports games converting to this numerical rating crap in the first place. We shouldn't be doing this argument over Kluber imo, I just want to play not decipher this overall rating formula which can change month to month nearly.

[Dynasty Legend 99]

I honestly felt this was an honest rating of Kluber. One more year of top-tier pitching and he will be 93-95 but I don't know if he exceeds that.
