What rating is panning out?
As per Lukas "we've adjusted the scale over the last couple versions to be more and more realistic, and the real 20-80 scale is much more compressed than the kind of fake scale we'd used in the past. Basically, minor leaguers will normally come in at 20-40 or so.
You might not even see a guy gain overall as he progresses from rookie ball to AA. That does not mean he's not developing, this is just how the scale actually works in reality. A player would be expected to go from R level to AA level without his overall moving more than 5 or maybe 10 points. From AA to MLB they might move another 10-15.
For major leaguers, they will typically slot in heavily in the 40-60 range. Very few MLB guys will go above 60, those that do are genuine superstars. Again, this is mostly how the real 20-80 scale works, and things are much more in line with that now."
So what ratings are you expecting when you say they don't pan out?

I have slowly began to better understand this new system. Thanks to Dr Satan I have found settings that allow players to develop at an acceptable level. The majority still never reach their potentials but that is the way it is in real life. I am having to get used to pitchers being serviceable as major leaguers with much lower ratings than in the past. I still say however that using the out of the box settings leads to very little development. I use the 1-100 scale and they said that you should see more variation and movement in the ratings in that setup. Tried 2 or 3 test leagues and out of the box settings just didn't get much movement in ratings. I have scouting off and see thew true ratings. Their obviously has to be some other hidden settings that affect players as well because I have had 80-80-80 pitchers who have career ERA's of 5 and 50-50-40 pitchers who have 3.50 ERA's.
