From what I understand, you can only give your players experience at different positions, you cannot improve their underlying ratings such as IF Range, IF Error, IF Arm and Turn DP or OF Range, OF Error, OF Arm. You only add experience. In the single player game, it takes 200 games to reach the max position rating based on the underlying ratings. I'm not sure if it works the same in PT, but I would guess it does.

Since this thread is about Keith Hernandez's defense, I figured I would post this here.
I have a team with both 1979 Keith Hernandez and 1980 Cecil Cooper. They're both only rated at first base. Hernandez has a little bit better rating in every defensive category than Cooper, yet Cooper's overall defensive rating is 81 while Hernandez is a 79. Why is that?

Your defensive rating at a position is a direct measure how much experience a player has there. But the highest rating a player can have at a position is dictated by those defensive categories. So Mo Vaughn would never be rated 100 at 1b no matter how much he plays there, because he wouldn't have the necessary range. But what your case implies is that Keith should still be able to gain more rating at 1b. If you play him there, his rating should still go up. If he never gets as good as Cecil Cooper than that's a bug IMO. |

I was talking more about some of the other suggestions I've seen (not just on this thread) which would severely penalize players who are out of position, or prevent people from learning other positions all together. Widescale changes like that in a live game would do more harm than good. |

Just stumbled upon this threat, I'm the owner of the New York Magpies I've been wondered what you've changed regarding the left handed shortstops like my Hernandez. Did you just disable the ability of left handed infielders to gain experience at SS or did you change how they perform ingame aswell?

This thread is another reason I love OOTP. What a great community and what great discussions. PT may not be perfect at this point, but it's amazing and going to be fascinating to watch it grow and change

Just to add to this discussion, I'm training a historical gold glove RF to play center field. Its going slowly.
So far, in a couple moths of work, he's gone from 0 to 35, and my ability to prevent runs is definitely feeling it. I guess what I'm hearing, however, is that there's no penalty from moving down the defensive spectrum, etc. He has ratings in outfield range, arm and error prevention that should make him a 70-80ish rated CF, based on what I'm seeing from other players... so can I assume he will eventually get there? |

I don't like this change. Maybe put a CAP on the rating of lefties trying to play 2B/3B/SS - but particularly with the shorter throws at 2B I don't see why a guy with good range can't at least have a rating there - Keith would be a better 2B/SS than lets say Mo Vaughn, but you can train Vaughn there and get him at least SOME rating |

Personally, I would have rather seen garbage infield arm ratings for all southpaws, either the main arm rating or a hidden modifier for arm rating based on the position. Penalize the crap out of Mattingly's arm at 3B, but he was good enough in spite of that to play 3B in an emergency ahead of other infielders. He definitely lost arm effectiveness, but he still had range that he could have learned to use. Ultimately though, I think the ban on southpaws is probably overkill, but it also doesn't really make a difference one way or the other. Real life has self-sorted itself well enough that this only applies to good fielding first basemen, and none of those players have ratings that are sufficient to play other positions well anyways. |
