OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Looking at some Current Ratings with 100% Scouting

A couple things to help here:

1. You're seeing rounded numbers for ratings. Acuna's 50 could be 52 while McKinney's 45 could be 43. That's nearly a ten point difference in ratings.

That isn't identical at all. You can use the same assumptions for power and plate discipline.

2. McKinney had an extremely small sample size last season and is 23. Acuna is 20 and his potentials could be much higher, no? All that you're saying here is that Acuna at three years younger is only slightly better than a 23-year-old seldom used McKinney.

I don't have the game in front of me, but my assumption is that Acuna's potential ratings will likely make him a much better player by the time he's 23 and McKinney is 26. It's not a fair comparison to make by only showing current and ignoring other factors.
