MLB The Show: Corey Kluber's Cy Young Performance Boosted His Ratings

[Cavicchi]

More important than the overall is potential.

[Ruffy]

Dude won the Cy Young he should be rated 103 overall bro.

Re: MLB The Show: Corey Kluber's Cy Young Performance Boosted His Ratings

who cares? if he plays well in the game does the rating matter?

Well rating usually ties into that a bit.

[N51_rob]

It goes against everything SCEA has said in the past about how they do ratings. Its three years with the last season weighing more than the previous two season, but those numbers counting too. So while I think its "too high" based on past statements, at the end of the day its a video game and I can change it if I want.

While winning the Cy Young is a great accomplishment, I'd rather have the entire body of work factor at least somewhat into the rating. We'll see what happens this year, but I didn't see him as the best pitcher in the AL last year.

He along with Felix Hernandez were by far the best 2 pitchers in the AL last year and Kluber edged out Hernandez in a number of statistical categories.

Chris Sale was equal or better than the two of them in everything except for IP. So the "by far the best 2 pitchers" is a bit much.

Higher ERA than Hernandez, higher HR/9 than both, higher BB/9 than both, higher FIP than both and a lower WAR. But the WAR is because of less starts so thats not really fair.

Sale also missed a whole month - month and a half. You can't miss that much time and be considered for a CY Young/MVP Award unless you have astronomical numbers.

" Is that really fair to the supposed “best” pitcher in the American League?" LMAO!

Re: MLB The Show: Corey Kluber's Cy Young Performance Boosted His Ratings

This game is broken and unplayable until Kluber gets that 99 OVR; basically it's just a port of '14 or a roster update at best.*




*Note that this is just me trying to fit all of everyone's favorite buzz words into the same sentence and does not reflect my actual opinion on the matter.

Best pitcher in the AL in 2014, that's debatable, though I can go with it.
Best pitcher in the AL, no qualifier? I'm going with King Felix #1
#2 David Price
#3 Chris Sale
#4 Kluber
#5 Yu Darvish (when healthy, lol there's a qualifier after all)

Here;s another qualifier: If Max Scherzer was still a Tiger, then I'd have him 3rd or 4th.
Verlander could easily have been in my top 5.

You list officially became invalid after mentioning Verlander at all.

Last 3 years he is 18th in ERA, 8th in FIP, 13th in K/9, 36th in BB/9, 7th in HR/9, The only stat that says he should be top 5 is WAR and thats just because he had 7 in 2012. His 3.99 ERA the last 2 years is 32nd among qualified pitchers. He was top(bottom) 5 in something last year though. 5th worst ERA.

Yeah, he's had a rough couple years, but I'm hoping he's ready for a comeback this year.

Yeah well I hope his arm falls off.

[tnacrimson]

really depends because who are the 10 rated above him i assume are king felix herndez, kershaw, madison bum(should recive just as generas as of a boost),chris sale(maybe),max sherezer, david price, john lester(?),wanio, wanna say johnny cueto, and i dont know a tenth thats probley some good company all of which have been good pitchers in the past and have won and or came in second in cy voting so 90 is decent ecspilly for a jump the show series isnt one of those games that likes to give people giant leaps in rating so that was generous
