Knight,

More importantly...how are those Rosters coming along? lol

On a serious note Knight...are your classic rosters that you made this past year still available and will they work for The Show 10? If so where can I find them in the vault? Enough questions for you? lol Thanks again Knight for all you do

No..they won't work in '10
There will be a couple of Classic rosters this year.

Wright and Reyes should both be B's. We've probably seen them have their best years, but they shouldn't degrade at an F clip. An A grade would be too much IMO.

Just my 2 cents!!! Go Mets

I agree that Perez, Pellfrey and a lot of the other suggestions are overrating the Mets and I may be OK with B's for Reyes and Wright, but why are you suggesting that a 27 year old (Wright) and 26 year old (Reyes) have already peaked as players?

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Player Potential Fix Coming in Next Roster Update

By saying they've had their best years, I mean they can still consistently have those types of good, big years, but I think they have peaked. That's not a bad thing.

Wright is a .300 hitter able to hit 30 HR, and drive in 100 RBI (see '05-'08). this makes him a GREAT player. but that's his peak (which isn't a bad peak to have). I don't think he'll be a .330 hitter who hits 45+ HR and drives in 150. So, I don't think an A potential is needed, because how much better can he get? I just don't want him to drastically decline with an F rating.

Same with Reyes. I believe his '06 will be his career year. He hit .300, 19 HR, 81 RBI, and stole 64 bags. I think he has the ability to consistently do that (maybe a little less), just not exactly MORE than that. He's a GREAT players if he can do that. Hence a B grade for "future" potential.

Casey McGehee (Milwaukee) should not be an F.

He hit .301 last year with 16 home runs and was in contention for Rookie of the Year.

A for everyone on the Giants, including anyone I get through FA or trade. Everyone else gets an F. The Dodgers get a Z.

Sorry for the clutter, I couldn't help it.

It seems like people are posting that all the players that are already currently stars should have A potential ratings. Is Dustin Pedroia still going to develop so much that he deserves an A rating? (I'm a Red Sox fan, I'm picking one of my own to show I'm not biased) Isn't potential grading the ability to improve their current skills?

Chances are, a guy like Albert Pujols has maxed out his potential at his age. Will he improve? Maybe. Could he decline? Maybe. Guys like that should have C potential, because there isn't that much room to grow.

Am I misunderstanding? Is saying a player has B potential just mean that the max he could reach as a player is having his rating bar filled 80-89%?

I'll believe there's going to be a fix to Player Potential when I hear it from Kevin Butler.

Logically one would think that potential ratings in any game would be to show a players ceiling. However in this game, for some reason, they made it so potential affects the players staying power at the rating they start out with.

Hope that helps.

Hope that helps.

Plus, it really affects how teams value their players. That's why when you sim/play through a season with the default rosters, the Twins are desperate to trade/release Joe Mauer, and the Red Sox place Jon Lester on the trading block immediately.

Mark Melancon is one of the Yankees best prospects. His potential on TS10 is all D's. I'd say he is a least a B prospect and his velocity is 94-95.

OK the problem with your suggestion is that if you ranked Pujols, for example, as an C potential player, then every year his stats are gonna decrease across the boards by 15. He is going to decrease until he is a C player.

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Player Potential Fix Coming in Next Roster Update

For me...
David Wright is an F should be a B
Jose Reyes is an F...should be a B or an A

The main thing I hope for is this.
Fake players...about 30 A potential players...any more and that would be too many IMO.
Tough to say on the B guys...maybe 100-150?
Plenty of C's...and some D's and F's
