Top Prospects Question

jyanksmsu · 07-26-2014, 11:49 PM

OOTP 15 Top Prospects list seems to be very different than OOTP 14,13,12 etc... I play with them on dynamic but for some reason, some really good prospects just drop off the list completely. Does anyone know why this is? For reference, guys like Oscar Taveras and Joc Pederson fell off the top 100 despite not losing rating our eligibility during the first year.

Hmm, I can see falling off if they make it to the majors, was this after the draft?

Taveras fell to 99th before making majors and then gradually went off when he was no longer considered a rookie I'm assuming. But Pederson is still in the minors and progressing to his potential of where he was ranked 20th? to start the year.

What are your settings for AI evaluation?

What patch are you using?

In the earliest patches a bunch of the guys in the draft were really overrated, so they would've ended up dominating the top prospect lists a year in. I've fixed them all, so it won't be a problem with a game started on the last couple patches, but what you describe could happen in games started on the first couple patches.

I'm using the latest patch. All the default AI Settings.

For some reason out of the top 100 prospects, there are 45 SS's and like 3 3B's the rest are pitchers. I don't know why the prospect lists are leaning so heavily on SS's, is there a way I could fix this? If not, no big deal, just wondering because I wasn't used to them being like this.
