Is the current model too reliant on ratings and not enough stats which is a reflection of a players ability to put those ratings to good use? Just a bit curious.
This has always been a problem in OOTPB.

Players do better in the majors than they do in the minors.

The game promotes on ratings, rather than performance, which is not realistic.

I just did a 30-year sim in V2007 and this continues to be the case.

That is why I never use the minor leagues. The stats are not realistic.
