MLB 15 The Show: Diamond Dynasty Ratings Boost Predictions (6/7/15)

Why should his ratings be up to exactly 2 month 2015 splits? Miguel Cabrera has been doing it for a decade

No one was arguing he should be rated at what Miggy is. They just said that if Miggy can be a bat first player and be a 99, why can't Cruz be one and be at least a 93. Miggy is rated 99, likely above 99 based on what the devs have said in the past regarding how the overall rating is calculated.

If you look at the ratings increases/decreases this year there have been plenty of players who got significant upgrades when their track record is questionable. Look at Kipnis and how offensively is is basically rated the save vs RHP as Cano. Yet Kipnis put up less than replacement value in 2014 and Cano has been an MVP candidate throughout his career.

The ratings increases lately though have been pretty lackluster and conservative so I don't expect any movement on Cruz or many of the other players everyone and myself as well have been saying could go up. It's why I don't "invest" in cards since the profits aren't guaranteed like other methods of making stub profit.

Apparently, Betances will never be upgraded!

Sold him. He's easy to hit for great players.

Grabbed Tyler Clippard instead

And the computer too. I give up more homers with him than any of my relievers. Combined with last year he should absolutely be a diamond. He's the best reliever on the planet right now. What I don't understand is how inconsistent they have been. Harper becomes a diamond after the best month of his career but Cruz is doing this for the second year in a row. Sonny Gray can't even be rated above Chris archer and Jacob degrom when he's been great his entire career. If you're gonna bump Harper for two months then why can't you do that for other players?

I'm pitching with Archer right now and he feels like NOTHING special. Getting killed right now.

He needs serious pitches upgrades as well.

He feels like a #5.

He's throwing 97/98 out there but for some reason people see it clearly. So annoying.

I think I may just sell him.

How I manage to lose money every Monday trying to buy the guys that I believe are going to be upgraded is beyond me. Every guy I bought Friday-Saturday was not upgraded and they decided to upgrade Clippard and Familia? How is Bryant still a silver, how can Gray be still at 87. Goldschmidt got a well deserved upgrade but there were some strange decisions in there today overall.

I rarely make money on Monday's from the weekend, but I rake it in all week. I am done with this speculation game now, way too easy to make stubs flipping

He's yet to give an earned run for me *knocks on wood*

When I face him I find his slurve hard to hit mixed with his fastball but we'll see. Used to like David Robertson but he couldn't be gone from my bullpen faster

Yeah Betances has gotten me good a lot as well. I feel like it's just that he's so tall, and the Cutter is evil if you can hit both sides of the plate with it. He's definitely owned me.

[Djhats]

They need to stop focusing on their favorite teams. I mean the Dodges are always getting upgrades yet, My tigers are overlooked while playing good or bad. Puig hasn't been good since before playoffs last year a day made the cover lol.
Tigers have Jose batting over .350 and his speed is like 63... he's the best defensive SS in baseball 63 speed? He's needs overhaul.

[Djhats]

I mean Gose was on fire and still doing okay right now.. 73 overall but the dodgers have a new guy hit a home run and they come in the game silver... Kershaw isn't the best starter anymore yet he's untouched. I could go on forever about hoe OP the Devs Teams are getting special treatment. We have teams on fire right now that have no Dimond and a few gold players.

If I'm not mistaken, the problem with Archer is that he doesn't have a curve ball so left handers are hard to get out with him.

I'm going to stick with Betances but only use him for 1 inning.

Re: MLB 15 The Show: Diamond Dynasty Ratings Boost Predictions (6/7/15)

While we are being biased to our own teams..

JD should be diamond.
Russell Martin should have way higher throwing accuracy.
Kevin Pillar should have much better defense and speed.
Ryan Goins should have way better defense.
Brett Cecil should be better all around.

I also think Hutch and Smoak are under rated in the game too.

Having said that, it's a lot of work and I think overall the developers have done a great job with the game. The fact we get weekly rerates is pretty solid and you can never please everyone.

I think y'all should just be happy and stop complaining.

Question about collections, won't allow me to start a new thread for some reason. But I'm 1 card away from completing the Reds collection. And the only card I need is Nate adcock. I've tried buying him 3 times now and he will not show up in my cards. Any ideas on what's goin on here?

[ArtificialPain]

Re: MLB 15 The Show: Diamond Dynasty Ratings Boost Predictions (6/7/15)

You don't need Adcock for the collection...He shows in the market, but look in your Card Collection for the Reds and you won't see him there...Same applies for Slowey (Philly), Almonte (Braves), just to name a few...Others can correct me if I'm wrong...

Must be another card you need if you're down to 1 for that collection...
