Why do the Season Award Program?

Where are you getting this “it’s actually an 88” business from? Nothing you have said in this entire thread has made any mathematical sense…
-
When I go to my squad, click on Bobby Witt, then turn the filters to show only 88 or below players, there isn’t a player I own in the 88 range that has attributes anywhere close to Bobby Witt’s… Buxton ALMOST has stats that good, but I have him paralleled to V.
When I limit it to shortstops, but increase the attributes to include all ranges again, Aurilia is the only one that come close. But he’s 93 overall, so that makes sense.
Now, am I saying that Witt will make it into the meta of the game? No. Because honestly, I have never understood the meta of the game for a decade. But this “he’s equivalent to an 88” nonsense has to stop.

How does a Captain Card (Dansby) compare to a Lightning card?
If you use Dansby, without any other Cubs cards, are his stats actually better the the Witt Lightning?
Dansby is actually a Braves Captain card. It's a good card that gets better if you use the Buxton cornerstone captain to up his power.
But as I said, I don't think it is a fair comparison to compare an unboosted card (Witt JR) to a Boosted one (Swanson)
Oops

They need to get rid of the 100+ hitting attributes.
Or they need to have EACH AND EVERY attribute able to go up to 125.

@Shauwn said in Why do the Season Award Program?:
Remember, speed does NOT factor in a cards rating. There are 50 rated cards with 90+ speed.
My whole point for the thread is to show how disappointed I am. I wanted to use hos card competitively. I could still use him on HOF or Legend, but he'd count as one of 2 cards not needed for the captain boost. I'd rather use those slots on other cards, preferably 2 Outfielders with the Arenado boost.That is your choice but I don't want SDS to start having to tank a players speed or vision just to fall under the boosts of Arenado or Buxton. That is a deep rabbit hole to go down because then you have to look at actual team based theme teams where players are getting +15 to all contact and power stats if they have both team captains.

This right here. You are just making up numbers man. Im calling bull

94.72 Meta overall according to a much more reputable source that has done these calculations for a few years.
But keep saying how dumb and stupid other people are OP.

Showzone? I love that site.
In fact, One of the things that I love about it is that I’ll let you compare side-by-side cards from the past five or six years. So… you know what? I did just that.
24’s Season 1 Witt vs. 23’s Season 1 O’Neill Cruz. Both are 95 overall SS’s. Witt on left; Cruz on right.
Con R - 113; 101
Con L - 90; 58
Pwr R - 84; 120
Pwr L - 96; 93
Vis - 65; 58
Disc - 52; 81
Clt - 84; 97Bunt, DrBunt, & Dur were the same on both cards.
Fld - 85; 73
Arm - 81; 99
Acc - 84; 68
Reac - 77; 71Spd - 99; 99
Stl - 99; 50Honestly, it looks like if anything, Witt’s card is better than the typical 95 rated card from this time last year. Showzone tends to agree. It views this card very highly (102.27 to Cruz’s 93.72; similar in meta rankings though).

Completely blows up OP’s ridiculous “calculations” that he claims is “math”
Also, Witt Jr has been mashing for me since using him and that includes 2 ranked games on HOF. Fantastic leadoff hitter

@doobiebross66-72 Does SDS still consider position in its ratings too? I'm only back recently (last played I think in 2019), and I remember 2B having high overalls but being far worse players statistically than most other positions.
It'd be cool if SDS released their formula for overall calculation. Though honestly I don't think the overall matters much.

You do realize those calculations are based on a few specific stats, right? You don't think I don't know about that site?
They factor in the highest hitting stats, combined with the best fielding stats, rhrn also include the speed/stealing, etc. Then they compare them to other true position players to factor in the overall rating.
They used his 113 Con vs R
His 96 Pow vs L,
99 Speed/97 Steal
Even his 90 Con vs L to compare with other cards "overall stats" to come up with their own "Meta rating."They DO NOT factor in the shytty 84 clutch, 65 Vision, low 77 fielding reaction, horrendous 52 disc.
I know how they rate their cards. It's a good source to compare to other positions.
Once again, and I'll try to spell it out so even you can understand.
The overall rating says 95.. The stats do not equal a 95 rated card. If u just factor in his Con and Pow vs Left and Right, that would equal (((95)))
But, clutch replaces the Contact. So replace the Con numbers with 84 when runners are in scoring position. What do u have? (((87)))
That's just clutch.
Now let's do both sides.
Pow Vs Righties with clutch = (((84)))
Pow Vs Lefties with clutch = (((90)))
Now lets add Vision and Clutch with pow vs R= (((78)))
Vision, clutch, + Pow vs L = (((82)))The numbers go down when you factor in Clutch and vision. This is just an example of Witt's overall and situational hitting rating.
If you don't understand these numbers, please refrain from trying to mock me based on information you saw from another site. You clearly have no clue what the numbers represent.
Bobby Witt is not the 3rd best SS.
He's literally the 7th best, and every one of those cards has a lower overall rating than him.
My entire point of this thread was to throw this out there so SDS would stop watering down their free program cards, and ppl would see exactly what they are doing.But apparently, every single one of you are as dumb as SDS thinks you are.
So who's the joke on, really?
You idiots. Lol smh. -
@Shauwn Honestly, is there a significant difference between a 94 and 95? 90 and 95? The overall rating is pretty arbitrary generally or seems to be. I'd love to see the significant difference of the meta data on player ratings to see what the cutoff lines are. The game can't be so finely tuned that a 112 contact and a 113 contact are different enough to matter. It's mostly psychological. It's why stance and swing matter so much.

Go read my previous post if you actually want to learn and understand how to properly calculate ratings. I truly hope you'll understand. If not, then hope is lost with you.

We don’t need to read that post again. Whether you follow any other site or not, I literally side-by-side compared a 95 shortstop from last year and this year released at the same time, And it shows that there is no “over inflation“ of a 95 rating for Witt’s card. It seems their rating system is right on to what it was last year.
You don’t have to like the card, or like the fact that it’s a lightning card, but quit making up this bullcrap rating system.

I really hoped even you would understand. But based on this response, it's like trying to explain this to my puppy hoping he'd understand. It's ok bro, enjoy using the top 3 meta ss in the game. Hope u mash with him on HOF and Legend!

@Shauwn I don't think you really hoped for anything but an argument. Once you get my age, it's way easier to just take a deep breath and move on. New cards will come out next week and none of this will matter in 2-3 weeks in all honesty.

The bull [censored] rating system is a called math, created by the Sumerians, which is used extensively even today. You'll be shocked and amazed what math could teach you.
Even now, you don't understand the math behind the ratings/stats, but you do understand what overall numbers represent.
So at least I see some progress. -

An argument or debate is the last thing I wanted to happen. Yet, ppl chose to debate, argue, and mock what is literally in front of their face. I can try to explain it to people, but I can't understand it for them no matter how much I try to.
Anyway, hope u have a good night.
