You can also use the stats to create "potential ratings", but I usually leave those alone, as they will readjust based on the stats themselves.

I suggest using stats from the last 3 yrs. when editing player's ratings. In my experience, none become superhuman but the ratings I usually obtain are much more in line with real life than the original ratings. I.E: Stauffer went from a .5 star MR to a 1.5 star SP; not a stud by any means, but a serviceable starter just like he is IRL, IMO.

Hope this helps.
Couple of things.

1) Make sure commissioner mode is enabled. It is what allows you to edit the player.

2) If you're going to bump up a player's current ratings, you HAVE to bump up their potentials too. On the player page (if scouting is off), it will show that the talents went up, too, but in reality, the player's actuals will plummet to their potentials pretty quickly (I tested this like 8 months ago; it took a season and a half to move a .330 batting average, 30 homer guy down to his potentials, as a decent A level hitter).
