Different potentials with DB

sprague · 05-22-2024, 02:45 PM

Just letting those who play games without recalc (as I do I play with a TCR of 1) but there are very different potentials for the same player in the two databases.

Good example is Cy Young.
In the minors DB he comes in with potential ratings
457 409 457

In the MLB only DB he comes in
458 407 522

He is a much better values in the MLB DB as his walk rating is almost 15% better.
He has no minor league seasons listed so the game should be reading the same stat years in both versions, but the minor league DB lowers some ratings.
I have noticed this with other players, Honus Wagner is another that comes to mind, he is a much better hitter in the potentials of the MLB DB.

Just to keep that in mind if you play that way.
If I play the minor league DB, I give a potential boost to MLB starts when they come into the draft pool. Working quite well

i am really confused. i had no idea there were separate db. is there an option to use one or the other?
I would prefer to play the way you are without the recalc (that still isn't clear to me)
Can't you have recalc based on the year you just played in the game?
If you use recalc you can't really have what if such as what if xyz player didn't go to war, or didn't get injured
