MLB 13 The Show - The Player Ratings Algorithm Has Changed, 17 Players Rated 99

[assclown25]

I know I'm going to catch alot of flak for this post buy here goes anyways. NO player deserves an 99overall rating, every player has a hole in there game- (including Cabrera). I look forward to the amazing job Knight and company do w/ the rosters and for guys including myself who have issues w/ guys who have 99 ratings just deal with it as we should be greatful for the amazing product we get yr in and yr out from SCEA and Knight and Co. Can't wait for March 5th to be here!

I'm not a fan of a lot of 99s. I guess since there are less, I can't complain too much.

That's a lot of 99's but like catch212 said, it's not about the overall, it's about the individual attributes each of them have. You could have 7 99's on one time, and still lose because you may be weak in some areas.

Well, look at how many successful steals in attempts against Posey and then look at the same with Molina. Look at DWAR for both players. Molina played more games at C and is a better catcher than Posey. So Posey hit 20 points higher than Molina last year, but Molina saved more runs than Posey. Defense like Molina is to me worth 20 points in batting average.

I also don't see Carlos Gonzalez being a 99. Braun is linked to performance enhancing drugs and 99 for him is suspect.

Is really interesting how the human mind works.
Last year we had a bunch of full bars and everybody was cool with it.
No we have numbers and all hell is breaking loose.

Actually, my first overall draft pick in my 2012 season in Franchise Mode on MLB 12 was an A Potential Shortstop. The next season in the minors (AA) he hit below .200 for a few months and his potential decreased to a B.
