I'm going to keep citing examples of this because it bugs me. The game weighs running and defense far too highly in my opinion. Those are really important parts of the game, but not accurate to what real life is.

Look at these two players.
Joey Mwai has really really good individual ratings, yet OVR, he's only a 52... The guy is on pace to have a .300/.405/.505 with 32 HRs

The other guy is a prospect who, yes has poor defense and running, but look at his batting potential ratings! That's the type of potential for a guy who will win MVP awards, yet he's only rated as a 61 Potential??

In the real life MLB, this guy is considered the best batting prospect in the game regardless of whether or not he's a great fielder...
