MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players at Each Position

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players at Each Position

It depends on the position. SS OVR most likely takes defensive ratings into account more than it does offensive.

That would definitely make sense since defense at short is a top priority for most teams over offense. Its the only reason Zach Cozart still has a starting job, with how awful he is offensively,lol.


If it does indeed take into account defense more for a ss, then that's probably why Castro isn't rated as high as what some Cubs might think he should be with him being a poor defensive player.

Again I dont buy into overalls but I can guarantee they have Peralta's defense vastly underrated again. Players like Castro and Jose Reyes shouldn't have better defensive attributes than Peralta's.

I agree, now Castro range definitely should be higher than Peralta's, but Peralta fields the routine plays cleanly, he just don't have a lot of range, where as Starlin has the range, but is challenged defensively, along with mentally challenged as well out there,lol. He did improve some last yr, but still not good. His bat keeps him in the starting lineup for them.

Does SD Studios realize that Bumgarner is the best WS pitcher of all time? I am pretty sure that the answer is no, because a 92 doesn't reflect his talent. But, maybe I am taking postseason too much into account. I just thought that he had finally proven himself as the supreme beer guzzler and a top 3 pitcher. Jordan Zimmerman should be top-10 too. He might be tied with all those 92s.

They rate based on a 3 yr average with last yr weighing the heaviest of the 3 seasons. I don't think they take Postseason into account when ratings. Some guys just happen to step up come the postseason, but are just descent during the season, for instance Andy Pettitte over the years, just a pretty good pitcher during the season, but great come postseason, same with the Panda once the Postseason hits. Could Madbum probably be a little higher up, yeah I would probably agree to that, and if he starts the season out on fire, they will bump him up no doubt.

its reflected by them getting a better clutch rating.

I didn't know they did that,although does make some sense to boost that a little, all I knew was they rated based on the 3 yr average with last y weighing the heaviest of the 3, I think 50% of it is based on the last season actually.

Cant be a prisoner of the moment when rating a player.
The 3 yr avg of a players performance makes sense to me. Gotta be the "flavor of 3-4 yrs" instead of "flavor of the month" to get a logical overall rating.
As mentioned, Kluber is a good example. I wish he was higher and he obviously had a great year last year. I agree with the bump in overall for this year but hopefully that will continue for the next few years and he wont be just a flash in the pan, therefore improving his overall even more in future MLBTS games.

Everth a top 10 shortstop? I'm surprised.

Maybe the shredder did some of these ratings,lol. Or Brian Kinney, although I don't think the ratings are as bad as Kinney and the Shredder would do:wink:

Re: MLB 15 The Show Top Rated Players at Each Position

Catchers are looking underrated this year. Salvador Perez at 82, lower than McCann? Mesoraco at 81?

I'm still glad Miguel's at 99 and Price at 92 sounds right.

Me too, but it makes me curious how hard Verlander got knocked down by his last season.

It is 50% based on last year but Bumgarner as been a top 15 pitcher maybe over the past 3 years that's why he isn't a 99 and he honestly doesn't deserve to be

Please check the belt of LA Angels because since last year is Red no Black, and the line to the pants of some teams is very fat like the Miami Marlins, Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies. Please Ramone & Nick the beard of Derek Norris, Bryce Harper actualized.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Ratings - Top Rated Players at Each Position

Three players with a 99 rating doesn't feel right.

My personal opinion is that there should only be two currently.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Top Rated Players at Each Position

I feel Brett Gardner got shafted for top 10 left fielders

Yeah he should probably be sitting at an 81 in Crawford's spot.

Didnt know this was a uniform/player appearance thread.
