The Ratings listed on the Player Cards are complete garbage. I mean absolutely ridiculous, the ratings don't mean anything and have no bearing on how well the player will perform.

For example - I had Aaron Nola and Blake Snell both with ratings of 92. They started the season off with a 20+ and 13+ ERA respectively. They improved slightly over the course of the season, but their ERA's never dropped below 5+. I also have Madison Bumgarner and Zack Wheeler who can't get below 4+. None of my pitchers have an ERA below 2, and the vast majority of my pitchers cant get below 3+. In Summary, I have had multiple pitchers with ratings 85 - 95 that were so awful, I benched them, an then eventually sold them.

In one game I had 4 Relievers come in the game and each of them gave up 5 runs in 4 different innings, resulting in 20 runs! These were all players rated above 65.

I also have Aaron Judge (94) and Ichiro (70) that are doing nothing. BA's around .230

How am I supposed to manage a team when the ratings mean nothing and the players perform like they belong in Triple A?
