Interesting read.

When I spoke with Brian SCEA last year about attribute diversity (I was basically saying that for MLB 13, I personally wanted to see the higher ratings have more of an impact; same with the lower), Brian immediately showed me and Nomo a little taste of what 'the code' looked like and how some players actually had ratings above 99; which the game needed to represent visually as a 99.

Now, I personally cannot speak to the details on this or how it works. And I can't pretend to remember whether what he showed me was an individual rating or an overall rating. He basically used it as a demonstration on how he and the team are aware certain players transcend caps and how the Devs go about getting that portion of the player into the game.

But beyond that, someone at their studios would need to expand upon that.

I'm basically just saying that I'm almost positive circumstances like these are discussed and probably addressed behind the scenes.
