Great idea!

all 10's.... not all 20's... big difference....

I'm running 2 leagues on my PC here... and unless you set it to be able to go to 20, it does not decide to put them at 20... it does not arbitrarily go above what you set it at... when we chose our ratings, we chose 1-10... not 1-20

So no, it does not happen in all leagues, unless there is a mistake or you let it happen in the league

Hell.. why not bring back the 600 foot fences

You clearly aren't getting what I'm saying or I'm not saying it right. The computer will only show ratings 1-10. But you can have ratings beyond that up to 20. The computer will still only show this as 10. 11=10. 12=10 and so on. But they will still play better than the 10 you see because it really is 20. It does happen in all leagues.


Oh, and a friend of mine did a test on fences, given it was back with v5, the fence doesn't matter unless the actual stadium ratings are changed. The players will just hit 800 foot homeruns over 600 foot high fences. I don't know if this was ever changed in v6, but I know it never did anything back then.

If you set it to go to 20 it will.. when asked at the beginnig of the league... people said they wanted 1-10... I am sure they were not thinking "I want to see 1-10, but I want to really have it an unseen 1-20"

It does not happen in all leagues unless you let it happen in all leagues... I went over in edit mode in my PC league here, and not a single person is rated over what I set the ratings limit to be

Fine, we disagree. We'll go on beleiving separate thoughts for now. There isn't enough interest to change his ratings anyway and Crazy hasn't even really said much after it was determined to remain as is.

[DiamondDave]

My mistake on mine... on my 100 ratings system... I have 5 players with ratings over 100.... the highest being 108 in power.... an 8% difference from the norm or max.... big difference from a 100% difference from the max, which 20 is.....

You know a 100% difference from the "max" rating is bullshit

In the first round of the draft, Tampa Bay picks..... Clark Kent, Outfielder, Smallville H.S.

I think Kent would be more like the evolutionary Brooks Kieshnick - playing both OF & P.
