I Can't do a 1:1 comparison because when you export OOTP 24 data it gives you the raw 0-250 ratings

(actually wish they would go back to this, i dont like that it exports the 20-80 every 5 ratings instead of the raw data anymore, but that is a different issue)

But a 30 team fictional in OOTP 24 produces similar results.

Of 1,411 batters on the 0-250 scale. 77 of the batters had at least a 20 point split difference in power on the 0-250 scale. Which on that scale is about a 5 point diff on the 20-80 scale.

When i look within the game itself and look by power ratings at all players, no one in OOTP 25 has a 10 or more difference on the 20-80 scale between left and right. Again, just not realistic. In OOTP 24, you see a handful of 10 point differences on the 20-80 scale, and two with a 15 diff.

This isn't a new problem with the game. It has always existed. It seems worse this year as the ratings seem much tighter and have made what was already a problem with the game into a much more unlivable issue. I just hope at some point it gets fixed. We need more realistic splits to create worlds where management decisions are tougher than they currently are. It is very common in real life for non elite players to be much better against one side and the ratings should show it.
