Love OOTP 9, with one issue - the fielding stats. I created a league with the best alltime players in their best years for each team (Cardinals with Medwick 1937, Musial 1948, etc...). The batting ratings all make sense, but a lot of the fielding ratings seem completely wrong. For instance, Mike Piazza has a catcher arm and defensive ability rating of 39, while Johnny Bench is rated 34 in both categories. Reggie Jackson, a notoriously bad fielder, has an outfielder range rating of 45, and an outfield error rating of 65 - Vlad Guerrero is rated 28 and 35 in these 2 categories. Brooks Robinsonhas an infield range of 60 and an infield error rating of 63 - Darrell Evans, mediocre at best, has a ratings of 63 and 67. Scott Rolen and Mike Schmidt, 2 of the best fielding 3b in real life, are rated well worse. ozzie Smith and Luis Aparicio are rated well below Arky Vaughan in both infield range and ability to avoid errors. I'm sure I've bored everyone already, but the list goes on and on. Any idea why these strange things happen, and/or more importantly how to fix them without manually redoing them all?
