Marcus has fixed the PB Rating problems in OOTP5.

I am running a career historical league and noticed that the passed ball rating is not very accurate...at least in my game. The rating is supposed to be "number of passed balls per 162 games".
An excellent catcher will have about 3-6 PB'S per 162 games...a good one 7-10...average 11-14...fair 15-20...poor over 20. In my last two seasons the number of passed balls has been about 5 times the normal average. I researched all catchers in my league and found them to be 4-8 times higher than their passed ball ratings assigned to them.

Has anyone else had this happen?

In my next season I will use this scale for PB rating:

0=excellent
1=good
2=average
3=fair
4=poor
and see if the results are more in line with what they should be. This way if the game continues to be 4-8 times higher, my revised rating scale should work fine.
