OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Last patch messed up Historical pitcher ratings

Now, I went back to OOTP 19 and ran the same 1965 normal Historical League, same settings, with 3-year recalc and real stats - same as in the OOTP 20 league noted above.

here are the ratings:

Sandy Koufax 1965 - 75/75
Don Drysdale 65/65
Juan Marichal 66/68
Bob Gibson 57/59 - that still seems VERY strange for Gibson ?
Mel Stottlemyre 54/54
Luis Tiant 51/54
Tommy John 50/53
Jim Kaat 51/53
Catfish Hunter 35/52

Now, this seems to me like the problem is older than the patch and even precedes OOTP 20.

Are these ratings right? What do the ratings actually rate? Why are the potentials so low for these very good, often great, sometimes historically all-time great pitchers? Only Koufax's rating seems realistic here and even his is off in OOTP 20.
