No, ratings are ratings and will do the same thing regardless of card type.
It is more about the distribution or profile of the ratings. The modern game's relative abundance of home runs and strikeouts compared to baseball history, is the main factor making the live players perform worse. Hitters strike out too much and pitchers give up too many dingers.
