Haha...I can definitely see where you are coming from on this Knight. It obviously opens up a can of worms on critiquing the ratings and how the developers rate the players (as well as how it will affect the creators, like you and the rest of gang here, doing the ratings of custom rosters...you guys might have your work cut out for you this year! lol) I really dont get caught up in the ratings but to me it I just think it helps mainly when comparing players instead of trying to distinguish the ratings with the bar system. It obviously is kind of a blessing and a curse at the same time and can never be perfect.

It would be a great option if SCEA goes the route of NBA 2K where you can toggle ratings between numbers and the bars for whatever preference you may have.

But I've never seen anything like that for an actual on-the-field baseball game.

Don't worry....the instant grat gen is winning this battle.
Your fears can be allayed.

I actually couldn't care less about it from that aspect.
You can always see them in the editor(which I feel would of course have to remain numbered and always should have(I remember counting clicks though!)
It's all from a playing/realism standpoint.
It's just unrealistic.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. This is a perfect! My night has been made!

I would like to see a toggle option if they do decide to go the way of numerical ratings. Keeps both groups happy.

It looks like this implies that there are bar ratings and number ratings in the game (scherzer: energy, confidence, and stamina), and (pence: CON R PWR R SPD).

Naw. Watch the very second clip of the trailer. Also notice the grass floating in the air.
