Stats only prospect question

[gogosox21]

I've been playing a league stats only for the last few years and I've really enjoyed it but one question I've always had is how they make the top prospect lists for the various teams and overall top 100 list, or even the top overall players in the league list. I've always assumed that those are generated using ratings behind the scene but I've never minded because I find that difficulty in evaluating prospects is one of the few downfalls of stats only.

you can set the AI evaluation to 0 ratings and the AI will still look at ratings. A question of mine that was never answered by the stats only buffs is why do players get instantly promoted when you jack up their ratings if the AI doesn't use ratings.

It's the elephant in the room.

Because ratings are still used with 0%

Minor league stats (or feeder) aren't strong as Major league stats so ratings might be used even more so than if a player just didn't have enough major league stats.

I'm currently back at 25% 25% 25% 25% as I was seeing some weird stuff with 0% ratings.

Top player list I'm assuming is based on OVR...

While top prospects list may be a combination of OVR and OVR POT.

I also would not be shocked if position is considered as well...

If you use a AI Eval with 0% ratings and all stats while having prospect list set to dynamic, you will see that the list will be filled with players with good stats and good potential. Players with good potential but are struggling will fall down the list. Guys with poor potential but good stats rarely make the list but I did notice that some of these player's potential rating improve.

That's actually exactly what I set up along with potentials turned on and scouting on very low. Not stats only like it seems you like from what I've read on these forums but when I did do stats only I still found myself looking at my scouting reports so I figured mine as we'll see the potential.

Also to simulate a little more of the challenges of a GM I have talent change randomness at 200 and injuries on the realistic setting for real life so have a feeling I'm either going to love those or hate those. Simmer the first 10 years to get some history and looks ok so far
