What I meant was, OVR can still mean "Overall" but might include some "un-viewable" variable(s). In any case, I agree we have shown that there are certain cards that are better or worse than others regardless of what OVR says.


I think the most important variable to accept is that the variable range "inside" the game can far outpace card ratings - which is actually the way it should be. This is why your BA .185 bench player can come in and hit a double to score two runs when your cleanup hitter just struck out.


But it is frustrating...
