I was all about MVP until I saw this and now I don't know what to do. EA needs to come out with a site very similar to this so we can see how everything works and what they have to offer.

This is by far the best franchise around. The Trading Block, Allotment of money for certain parts of the franchise, the prospect radar, the different level of minors, rule 5 draft, arbitration, everything looks awesome.

Except ONE thing. Being an Angel fan I noticed their ratings for some players. C'mon they just won the World Series and the highest rated position player is a B. Garret Anderson is an A, and even though Glaus gets off to slow starts and is streaky he should be a B+. Anderson should at least be a B+. Also, Eckstein is not a B-. Things like that upset me I want my team to be rated accuratly.

Plus, they have Clay Bellinger all over the thing. He was sent down to AAA after a week last year and never came back up. He will never be on the big league roster and I do believe he was waived during last season, so he shouldn't be in the game. Also, I noticed Dennis Cook in the minors for them and he is a Free Agent at this moment so he shouldn't be on the team's roster. Things like this should be taken care of.

I wish ASB would adopt the Madden system for ratings. I like a player being rated 1-99. I don't like the lettering system this should be changed in the future. I would like to see how MVP rated their players. The Angels have a couple A players on their team.

Heelfan71 · 01-28-2003, 09:17 AM

I saw on the frontpage of the website...

"With over 50 playable reams..."

Does that mean this game is rated "M"!?!?!

Excellent work Guru, great info.

BTW any chance on an option to adjust the pitch speed? I still think it's too fast, resulting in too many strikeouts, at least for me anyway.

I really like the straight back foul ball addition. Can't believe no one has thought of that before.
