I do take homage when I see players like Robinson Cano and Mark Teixeira being rated as average or below average fielders (like version 12 does). They both won gold glove last year and watching 90% of the games, I can say in no uncertain terms, they were the best at their positions in the league.
Maybe both of their stats lowered playing next to each other....
Bottom line they both deserved to be rated as the best (as SOM does). Any game that does not rate these two at the highest level are really missing the boat. Stats do not tell the whole story. There are too many other factors.

Just saying, according to metric stats like dWAR, Teixeira is actually
below average, just because they making flashy plays doesn't mean they are actually good defensively. Maybe the ball they need flashy plays to field is a routine groundball for another player
