For the players mentioned their defensive stats are exactly the same in both databases as they only have major league stats in my database (so far) and those are just a copy of the default database stats. It is odd that they should result in different ratings.

I don't know what it is Spritze. All I know is I have found that young players that come to the big leagues as defensive studs IRL like Machado, Lagares, Gomes, probably Kiermaier (though I don't have personal playing experience in his case to back it up) seem to mature faster in the default database, or even arrive as defensive studs as they did IRL.
I can't put my finger on why, as I don't have access to the under the hood stuff, and I probably wouldn't be very good with it if I did. Maybe it's in the initial ratings that are in the master.csv file?
Just spitballing. I wish I could help put a finger on why it is, but I know when I was messing around with it earlier in the version 16 cycle, I definitely noticed it, and I noticed my personal preference for the way the MLBers turned out with the default database as far as defensive development was concerned with players. Maybe I'm just crazy or something - I don't know. I remember having a discussion with you about it somewhere.
Here it is.
Your response is
here.
After that discussion, I drifted back to the default database, and found that it seemed to handle these fellows better IMHO. I have no idea of the mechanics of why this is, I just know that it seems to be that way. I play random debut historical if that makes a difference, with 3 year recalc double-weighted on the current year. Ask about any of my other settings if you wish. I'd love to get to the bottom of it if we can.
I still love to use your database to import my Negro Leaguers, and NPBers, and KBOers, and PCLers into the game via the "Import Historical Player" tool, and you will always be the Lord of the Databases (TM) to me (as I believe you work on the default database as well, which throws a real monkey wrench of confusion into this whole saga for me...
), but I'm really enjoying it the way I have it set up, and to me that's all that really counts. Doesn't take anything away from your toil, sweat, and tears, and it doesn't make your database any less of an accomplishment that I could not begin to make for myself. Doesn't make me any less grateful for the effort you've put into it, as I will continue to integrate it into my game in my own weird way. Thanks for everything you have done around here, and everything you continue to do around here. It's truly mindboggling, at least to this simpleton.
