Really, I think this new approach is better than before, in fact when OOTP 19 PT started a lot of users thought the cards already worked like that and did not like the actual concept of ratings based on X peak seasons.  But of coure this is a matter where some others have a different opinion, that's to be expected. You cannot please everybody.  |
Markus, what would be great, and maybe pacify the critics of these Historical Legend cards, at least a little, would be if you'd tweak them in a manner so that the ranking of their overall ratings collections would mirror the All-Time greats list.
For example, Baseball-Reference has the top 20 all-time WAR leaders as: 1.
Babe Ruth+ (22)182.5L 2.
Cy Young+ (22)168.0R 3.
Walter Johnson+ (21)165.2R 4.
Barry Bonds (22)162.8L 5.
Willie Mays+ (22)156.4R 6.
Ty Cobb+ (24)151.1L 7.
Hank Aaron+ (23)143.0R 8.
Roger Clemens (24)139.6R 9.
Tris Speaker+ (22)134.1L 10.
Honus Wagner+ (21)130.8R 11.
Stan Musial+ (22)128.2L 12.
Rogers Hornsby+ (23)127.0R 13.
Eddie Collins+ (25)124.0L 14.
Ted Williams+ (19)123.1L 15.
Pete Alexander+ (20)120.2R 16.
Alex Rodriguez (22)117.8R 17.
Kid Nichols+ (15)116.1B 18.
Lou Gehrig+ (17)112.4L 19.
Rickey Henderson+ (25)111.2R 20.
Mickey Mantle+ (18)110.3B
If the Historical Legend cards turn out that these 20 players are the top 20 cards in the game, and in a similar order (and extend that logic through the next 20 and so on), well, then it becomes harder to argue against.
Regardless, I'm OK with it. At least until you drive me bankrupt!
