How ya doing, bud?

Meaning, I haven't heard much from the OOTP team. No threads, or strong contributions. Been a bit quiet. Not a criticism. I already have 1x against me. So all positive here. Nothing but positivity. Yes sir, positively positivo.

Just telling everyone who's pointing out problems that they "have unrealistic expectations" of development and that their reports of flaws with the game are "insane".

You know that people can actually read the posts over there, right? You're not exactly coming off as a winner in that exchange, I'm afraid. No, wait, Michael Harris, the guy that Fangraphs suggests has a 50 FV, is actually an 80!!! I'm laughing right now. Dude's not even a top 10 prospect. He grades out as a future league average player. That's good - most guys can never be league average - but if you think that's an 80 grade, I've got this mountain near Atlanta I want to sell you...

On the other hand you did raise Ronald Acuna... who graded out to a 65. Oops! Sure, he panned out but if you're going to bring up 80 grade prospects, maybe look up and try to find some actual 80 grade prospects. Fangraphs doesn't hand out a lot of those grades at all - maybe they would have for Trout or Pujols if they were in the business of doing so when those guys came up but I'm having a hard time finding anyone - and, I suspect that, like OOTP, they consider guys who turn into 80 players to have been 65-70 grade guys who had 95th percentile-level improvements (or, in OOTP terms, TCR boosts).

OOTP made a point to switch to standard deviations for players precisely because of weirdness like this. 80 prospects should absolutely be rare. The top 2022 graduate - Harris' class (he was #37 lmao) - was Adley Rutschmann, who got a 70 grade. Last year's #1 guy was Gunnar Henderson, a 65. You have to go back all the way to 2021 and Wander Franco to find an actual 80.

I think some people have different expectations of the game. From your posts, I can tell you are more like me and want as realistic of a sim as possible. Others may want the game to be more of a pure game and to see big numbers from their players. I think both are valid ways of playing, and the game should in theory be able to cater to both groups with the plethora of settings that are available currently.

You, Sir, have won the Obnoxious Poster of the Week Award.

I'm sorry that your life turned out this way.
