    Hmm, must be rating players differently for DD. Because Judge was an 86 on there.

      Yeah, my guess would that those are for Franchise.


      I thought 99's in DD were strictly going to be the Immortal cards.
      It's confusing to have two different rating systems.

        Morale adds or decreases ratings in franchise. You're looking too deep into it. It's the same rating until you into franchise...

          Those are not the ratings for Diamond Dynasty. Those are the base ratings for quick play, franchise , season mode , homerun derby , etc.

            Judge at the same rating as Harper? Higher than Joey Votto or Paul Goldschmidt?


            Mind boggling. Seems like a cover boy boost

              Kyle Hendricks is worse than James Paxton, Carlos Carrasco, and Rich Hill?

              Give me whatever the ratings guy is smoking at SDS please.

                Yeah in the rating reaction when they said Judge was an 86 I thought, "yeah that's fair." I think it's just too earlier to rate him that high.

                  By the way, that is also a travesty, to rate a guy who has never played in inning in a real game yet that high.


                  Some of these ratings are seriously bizarre. I have to wonder what SDS criteria and reasoning is?

                    I totally agree. That being said, I certainly hope that when Acuna is finally in the game that he rates at least as high.

                      judge is an 86 if you go watch his ratings release video. im guessing this article may not be 100% accurate

                            Rizzo lower then teammate Contreras? Rizzo should be an 88ish
