Most of the time when I play OOTPBB 21 players play close to their potential ratings especially for hitting but I have had nothing but poor results for A's Historical Franchise Sim team with slugger mark McGuire!. His "potential rating" is 4 1/2 stars with a power of rating of 21, contact rating of 10, Eye potential 17 and gap potential 8 however after 98 ABs in my current game made up of the all franchise teams he is batting a mere .164 with 16 Hits 2x2Bs, no 3Bs, 36K's and just 1 HR. I realize in this league batters face most of the best pitchers in baseball but I expected Mark McGuire with his high potential to get better stats than I am getting. It leads me to believe that he has not been rated correctly (possibly contact rating too low) or the game program has neglected to properly enter his data correctly causing him not to reflect correctly his ratings as listed by OOTPBB. If this is the case, is there a way for me to tweak his numbers now to correct him for the game program or just hope now for the next patch to possibly correct his data entry to be accurate for his potential? At this point he is destined to be sent down to the minor league team which makes no historical sense to have ever done this to slugger Mark McGuire. For info I play out as "human controlled" for the A's in my league games if that makes any difference from the AI controlled method.
