Awesome! Thanks!

The game will be very playable, but not until this is fixed. Virtually every team has way better relievers in AAA in favor of 40 overalls. I assume this was a calibration issue when you were adjusting the sign/release glitch.

And yes, it is 100% accuracy.

I am also seeing 50/55 OVR relievers being put in AAA while 40/45 relievers are playing in the majors over them

Do you have relative ratings set?

I have everything standard, other than me having scouting on 100%. Also in real life the 50 overalls like Daniel Palenica are clearly better than the 40 overalls, some of which haven't played affiliated ball in multiple years.

I feel like it has been like this for years. MLB teams will have much higher rated relievers stuck at AAA or even AA. I figure some of it might have to do with teams wanting a set number of slots for lefties or arms that can go long.

I always figured their scout has a different ratings evaluation than your displayed scouts ratings. Younger guys could be preserving options, etc.

I personally haven’t seen this before, so a little clarification from the devs would help a lot to know if this is an issue or not

[johndoe8865]

Yeah I don't think this is intended behavior. It'll be interesting to see if it's addressed.

I hope it is addressed. The game is on the brink of becoming awesome.

[manooly]

As always thanks so much for updating the best game ever created!

Is there any way you could expand on this...

"Fixed ratings on new fictional game inaugural draft class"

I am purely a fictional player/simulator and create an MLB structure will all fictional players/coaches. This update sounds great as my leagues seem to be having a high overall batting average (.270s). I'm hoping this controls it a little. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Is this expected to be the last patch for ootp 26?

The Tigers promoted this player to play SS after theirs went down with injury...and as you could imagine there are plenty in AAA that could cover SS for them while their SS is hurt. There is a 48/51 OVR/POT in AAA with 65 range and a decent bat...and also a 42 OVR SS with 65 range as well.

Ugh

I'm in an online league and ever since the last update I get message reports on the development complex for players on other teams but not my own.
