Kind of like DORKS. Check out The Game’s signature for that one. They’re both real, and they’re ruining baseball.

Joking aside, and probably more useful in response, OOTP is a computer game, not a real life simulation.......ratings are based on WARDS (this year I think the Ebola like variation/abomination known as “ZIPS”), not real baseball, not scouting and definitely not a crystal ball. If it were, then there would be no need to sell it,the Royals would have never won the Series or even come close, and better, the devs could just move to Vegas and cash in on the money line day after day after day, baybee!
That was pretty cringeworthy to read with the WARDS stuff. Yikes.

And yeah as others said, Conforto was pretty stellar last year with a 939 OPS/146 wRC+. A guy who can hit like that and be an above average corner OF defender or average CF is pretty valuable.

How many times have you played OOTP and had a highly rated player perform poorly? That's essentially what's happening. Happens in the game, and happens in real life.
