I'm not a ratings guy. I don't manage. I don't gm. I just watch the game build history. That being said fielding in OOTP has me completely baffled. Nolan Arenado from everything I've read and heard, is supposed to be a really top notch defensive third baseman. His 3B ratings in OOTP (1-80 scale) have him sitting at 50. His other ratings are somewhat higher, but stay around 60 if I remember correctly.

Same goes for Omar Vizquel.

Arenado has won a Gold Glove in my game, but he's also had 20+ error seasons. The game even shifts him to 1B at times.

Vizquel is yet to win a Gold Glove.

Haven't had Brooks Robinson yet, but he be a 50 out of 80 as well?
I just don't get a good feel for fielding when watching OOTP games.

If for example I created a historical league in 1910 and had the game assign all the real players fictional names, so Ty Cobb is Rufus B. Quakenbush and Ty Speaker is Poultry Sweating. I could easily look at the hitting ratings of Rufus and know he is a stud. Same for Poultry. But, if I created 2018 and did the same, I couldn't even look at Arenado as Arenado and know if he is an elite player at 3B based on his fielding ratings.
