The Tatis card really bothers me.
I watched this on MLB Now and it really highlights the year the man is having (with a shoulder issue) -

With those stats and comparing him to other great seasons - this live card needs to be beefed up on the offensive end. Avoid K I think is right, but the everything else needs a boost in the worst way. Also - speed at a 56 makes no sense to me. He is clearly one of the fastest players in the game.
For his defense - lets compare him to Simmons as far as "Error" goes.
Tatis - 666.2 innings - 95 put outs, 175 assists, 19 errors, 36 DP, FLD% is .934
Simmons - 683.1 innings - 112 put outs, 204 assists, 8 errors, 45 DP, FLD% is .975
There are other fielding metrics you can find that show Simmons is a better defender. (I used

Now - with the ratings out - lets compare the two in game.
Tatis - 86 SS - 89 Range - 84 Error - 90 ARM - 77 DP
Simmons - 88 SS - 88 Range - 74 Error - 113 Arm - 89 DP
How is Tatis's error rating higher than Simmons? How is Tatis anywhere near Simmons in general as far as defense goes to begin with?
Tatis should be beefed with his offensive and speed ratings, but his defense needs to be nerfed to league average level.
Tatis and Degrom SHOULD be two cards that players could pick in Perfect Drafts for the 100 round IMO. Their ratings should reflect what type of season they are having - an all-time great season. Instead, it feels like they are being held back because they are "live" card.
Rant Over. Have a great day!
