How in the world could he possibly be rated a 78? It doesn't make sense. Him being rated a 70, after the update however, does. I haven't done an analysis of all the players like some probably have, but my guess is if someone looked back at the ones we're surprised by that most, if not all, of those players were probably over-rated from the start.
Ultimately, I think it's best to try not to take all this too seriously. It's unfortunate for those of us who like to predict how ratings will change as who knows what will happen next, but we have to keep in mind that whoever is coming up with the ratings is human and as such they'll have biases and make mistakes. This isn't a real stock market with billions of dollars at stake, it's just a silly little game only loosely based on baseball. |
I think this is a more than reasonable take for Connor's specific situation, I'm not sure it answers any of the others especially Urena. But it would be great to hear what the issue was and if we can trust the updates moving forward.
I'm pretty sure card ratings are not handmade as there is over a thousand live cards. Just asking for some answers on the why it was wrong and what can we expecting going forward. I think with millions of PP involved a heads up if things like Connor were going to happen would be greatly appreciated
