What I did to try and get over the hump was change the settings to go 100% by rating for the first season. Which makes it really close to the way madden is. The second season I played 90% ratings 5% stats 5% last year.
Then onto the third I did 80% ratings 10% stats 5% last year and 5% two years. I thought as I was playing the third season I was getting a decent mix of the top level guys doing as they should and some lower level guys having great years but for the most part you could still see a relative downward scale with only a few exceptions.
The fourth season I went to the standard rating system 75% 10% 10% %5. And that was the first season I saw any sort of low level players playing well above there ratings. Mostly happened with rookies and other players coming out of the minors. had a 1 1/2 star guy bat .310 with 57 home runs. and a veteran player (4 stars) hit .357 and 86 home runs after only hitting 32, 31 and 37 in the previous seasons.
I throttled the setting back to what I used in the third season (80% 10% 5% 5%) and after a couple more seasons i feel like that is a good mix of "you know what you're getting" and "breakout years". You also still get the prospects that wash out in just a couple years in the minors and 4-5 star veterans who fall off by the all-star break and you wish you didn't give up a highly rated prospect for.

Is this referring to the AI Evaluation settings in setup options? I'm so confused on this. I thought those settings only affected the AI evaluating players for trade value, extensions, etc. So you're saying this actually changes how the AI engine treats how players will perform on the field? Help!
