One thing to keep in mind, one sim is a very small sample size. What we typically do is create a fully fictional MLB setup, then sim for 50 years, and then look at various metrics. In our tests, the latest update looks very good overall, except the following weaknesses, which we will still work on of course:
- We need a few more star prospects who develop really, really fast so they make a real impact in MLB at age 20, 21, 22.
- A few more standout players in general wouldn't hurt, sometimes it feels the number of true mega-stars is a bit low. But this varies from sim to sim.
I disagree here. The question is, what do you look at, raw ratings or stats? We look at stats output, and here the aging curves show a nice variety and in general feels close to real life.
Oh, and in general, let's keep in mind we're still in March, and as I am typing this, MLB didn't even have its proper Opening Day. Plenty of time to continue to work on this part of the game
Overall, this is the best launch we ever had.
