[Steve_OS]

Check out the top 9 players at each position in MLB 14 The Show (all subject to change before official release on April 1st). A big thanks to NYYanks26, who has confirmed with us that he already has the game and sent us the screenshots.

Alex Rodriguez starts of in Triple-A.

Let the debate begin!

Don't see very many 99 overall players.

Edit: Actually, only 3 of them.

I'm not sold that Beltran is the best RF in the game. I think by season's end, he will regress.

I didn't see very many 90 + guys in general.

Totally agree with what you said about Beltran

i love that many 90's. Going to have to go off vitals more and just not OVR. I hate when games every team is loaded with 90's. Actually have to build team up by attributes and what best fits your team.

Guess that's just about 1 from each team, sorry Astros. Down from last year, they changed the rating system didn't they? What exactly did they do?

Re: MLB The Show 14 - Top 9 Players at Each Position

Looks pretty good to me. Puig might be a little high, Heyward should be a RF.



The three 99s they chose couldn't be any better.

The ratings look good. It seems they changed the ratings, which to me is good thing considering that MLB !3 lot of guys in later seasons in franchise would have not great stats and still be rated 99. Plus I see the contracts and a lot big names are signed to contracts longer than year. It drove me crazy when I had resign 90 percent of the team in year one every time I did new franchise.

LOL@ Bourn being rated the 7th best CF in baseball.

MLB The Show has really nice visuals, and for the most part, really nice sim gameplay, but they need a heavy dosage of 21st century sabermetric-findings and general modern baseball research injected into their games.

I wanna say The Shredder on MLB Network rated Bourn 8 or 9 overall CF.

Re: MLB The Show 14 - Top 9 Players at Each Position

I like the discrepancy in ratings - now any player that is 90+ is truly considered "elite."

Re: MLB The Show 14 - Top 9 Players at Each Position

Heyward is the Braves' default CF? Guess The Show has given up on BJ Upton too. Wonder who they have in the Braves RF?

James/Hamilton had him 8/10 on their list but he was not to be found in the shredder's list.
