In 6.00 and a few other early releases there was a conversion (from OOTP5 --> OOTP6) problem which set pitchers' control ratings to 1 on the 1-120 scale. This severely stunted their development and either made them extremely late bloomers, or useless, never to appear on a major league roster.

This problem was fixed in a later patch, 6.03 I believe.

The problem still exists, however, in newly-created players, with the latest patch of 6.03.

If you look at the game-created amateur draft players, you will notice more than a few pitching prospects who were initially created with reasonable Talent ratings, but a Control rating of 1 across the board.

In testing I've done recently with 6.03, it looks like these pitchers will ultimately suffer from the same flaw as the 'converted' pitchers we saw when upgrading from OOTP5 --> OOTP6; the fact that their control rating starts out so pitifully low on the scale makes it unlikely that the pitcher will be effective, even if they start out with a high Talent rating in control.
