Not sure if I'm making too much of this but every historical game I've played so far almost all the players have a positional rating of near max - I mean one team might be this way but this seems to be pretty much across the board.
I know this wasn't this way in 16, has something changed? Something seems off here.
Example here, using the 1980 Brewers team in the two versions.
OOTP 16 - nice dispersion of positional ratings (using 1-20 scale)
OOTP 17 - same team, mostly same players but positional ratings so much higher!
