    Re: MLB 14 The Show Screenshots - Starting Lineups, Pitcher Rotations and Ratings

    I like how there aren't as many higher rated players as previous years however some of these ratings are questionable at best. I know I can change the ratings, I do it every year but something seems off about these ratings. I think I saw that they altered the way they calculate ratings this year. Am I correct with that assumption?

    It seems some young players are rated way too highly. Its been known that they base the ratings off the last 3 years but I'm interested in how that is dealt with rookies with this new ratings system.

    For example, Jarred Cosart is an 82 and Sonny Gray is an 83 both pitching 60 innings last year. Meanwhile Shelby Miller pitched 170 innings and is the same rating.

    I don't want it to sound like I'm complaining. I am just trying to understand how this new system works compared to last year, I just don't remember this being the case the last few years.

      Some ratings are debatable, like Fernandez being above established guys like Wainwright & Verlander... But I like that there's not a big amount of 90+ players

        In all fairness, Verlander did have an off year last year. It wasn't until the very end of the year and into the playoffs where he pitched like the Verlander of old. Like I've told many people, I blame Kate Upton for his down year. haha so yeah, I'm not complaining about King Felix having a higher rating than him.

              Haha who wouldn't be a little distracted with Kate Upton Lol but since The Show rates based on past 3 seasons, I don't understand how Fernandez is rated higher than Verlander & Wainwright

              P.S. Did you mistake Jose Fernandez & read it as King Felix?

                Mariners look about right, although I would say Paxton should be on par with Walker at least for now.

                  Nova a 75 is BS. Dude has a 29-19 record the last 3 years and had a 3.10 ERA last season with 2 shutouts. BS.

                    It also looks like some of the pitcher ratings might've been rebalanced this year - in '13 starters' K/9 was roughly 10 less points than real life, looks closer to -20 now.

                    Here are Felix's ratings from last year:

                    99 stamina
                    84 clutch
                    73 H/9
                    82 HR/9
                    75 K/9
                    81 BB/9

                    Drops across the board despite having the best peripherals of his career, so the only explanation is rebalancing...

                      Stats are editiable. If you don't like what they assign the player, change it. No use complaining.

                          Does this mean there'll be even less strikeouts? I felt like '13 was incredibly unrealistic in how few strikeouts pitchers were able to get.

                            It's not there? I will post them later if nobody else does first.

                              No, the opposite actually! A couple of years ago it was near impossible for starters to have K/9 above 10 because the ratings to real life ratio was near 1:1 and therefore capped around 9.9 K/9 with a little variance. Now with ratings more spread out there will be a wider variety of results.

                                Jays pitchers are in there, I'll ask NY if he can get the lineup, it is missing.
