This is ridiculous to me. Player ratings are not messed up because of a few hundred prospects lol.
Player ratings are garbage because you can only have a certain amount of Gold and silver cards in DD to sale. Plus player ratings go out the window when every year you produce “future star” or “special cards” where you give players unrealistic ratings they will never achieve. I remember last year they were releasing 99 overall cards for prospects they were Calling “future star” cards for players who have never logged an inning in pro baseball. They were doing it with non prospects to. Why would you want josh Donaldson 80 overall gold card when you can get an MVP flashback with 112 vs right handed power card.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the base roster. Why update player ratings when you are just going to sale a “fake” version of that player later that people are going to want instead of their real card.
