I use 1-20, in keeping with the style of Football Manager.

Display talents 1-5, no actual ratings displayed. I like the additional challenge .

Although I like the idea of scouting, the 2k6/2k7 implementations are mind-numbingly tedious (I actually prefer the scouting in previous incarnations). Consequently, I turn scouting off but use 1-5 (for both actual and potential) with stars.

I've considered this approach (because I dislike the micro-mgmt heavy scouting system), but rejected it because I'm playing a text-based game. Without it, I have no way to "see" my players, especially youngsters.

Example of Ratings
OK, let's try a little experiment. Different folks use different ratings. How do you apply those ratings to players in your game?
Let's say you have two players: Player A is a 26 year old starting pitcher who has career (two seasons) numbers of: 315 innings, 295 hits, 150 K's, 97 BB's, ERA of 4.48. Player A has a 91-93 mph fastball, a slightly better than average curveball, and an average change. How do you translate pitching stats like that into OOTP2007 ratings? Player B: 29 years old. Career stats (five seasons) of 2427 AB's, 673 Hits, 144 2B's, 6 3B's, 86 HR's, 428 K's, 377 BB's, and lifetime BA of .278. How do you translate these hitting stats into ratings? |

As a fan, I've never looked at ESPN and seen "Jeremy Bonderman, 95 stuff, 80 control, 75 movement" either . I doubt too many managers have at that.

I do not like 1-100 because the players' ratings don't have mystery. With 1-10, you do not know if it's in the low 10 or the high 10 or something.

Do you use the setting that allows you to see when somebody has an exceptionally long rating? I find that every now and then knowing who has off-the-charts ratings in, for example, gap power will allow me to appreciate a player that much more.

Can someone please explain why 20-80 is used IRL?

Last year I went w/ 1-20 and thought to myself I think is too easy because I know a little too much about all my guys. This year I've tried 2-8 for the main ratings, 1-5 for potential and 1-10 for other tools.
So far there's a good mix of uncertainty and this forces me to utilize stats more in transactions which is what baseball's pretty much all about. |

Before we discard any of the ratings systems, aren't they always subject to error, either by the scout you employed, or by SISA? So regardless of how granular it is, you're still somewhat in the dark as to the true ratings, right?

I use 20-80, which is basically base 13. This is good because it's less granular than even 1-20 and also it has a midpoint.

it's actually 2-8.
you start with the baseline of 5, which is average. Then you have three levels above, three levels below. 8 = outstanding 7 = well above average 6 = above average 5 = average 4 = below average 3 = well below average 2 = poor 2 and 8 are extremes you rarely see. Most are 4, 5, or 6. you can read more here. |
