There's no fielding difference between Honus Wagner and Bill Keister? No one back then believed that. I certainly don't. OOTP has a system that depends on fielding ability to differentiate teams and get pitchers, who didn't have many walks or strikeouts back then, generally to the ability level they showed over the years. It generally did a pretty good job of that until the last patch. 1901 Jimmy Collins at 3rd had a fielding rating of 100 pre-patch. Now it's 49 on a 100 point scale. Something is being done differently. If it's a bug, it needs to be fixed. If it's a design decision, it needs to be rethought. And the minors need to be done the same way the majors were done pre-patch. This is seriously messed up.
