Thought everyone might wanna see this

I said it is there. I did not say it was actually being used. If they are using it for Franchise then maybe it is just easier to include in both the Franchise and DD rosters than to strip it out of one.
I just had ChatGPT try and come up with the formulas by analyzing all 1226 position players and it came to the conclusion that Discipline plays no real part of the ratings.
Power numbers are the most significant.
It estimates Power Numbers make up 30.9% of the score for SS on the low end and 37.1% for First basemen on the high side. Which is why guys like Ozzie, Gwynn and Carew are lower OVR cards despite have excellent contact.
It still needs to reanalyze and maybe tweak itself as it seems to be taking BR Aggression into account and that is another field that while it is in the file was supposed to not count for anything.
I might have it take another run later

Unfortunately, I think this is why 94 overall spotlight Elly De La Cruz has a weird speed attribute. If it weren't for this imo (in my opinion), then I think Elly would have had 99 speed. And also no wonder why this year's cards have been off.

@Christuffer9917_PSN it’s the defense they actually undercut/underrated - he’s been a wizard out there and you wouldn’t know from his card

I still maintain that Elly did not get 99 speed because he ranked 121st in Statcasts sprint speed metric, which I believe they use for the speed attribute.
The card was for April 2026, not 2024.

I think at the end of the day it’s important for anyone to know what stats are being used
It shouldn’t take Dolenz or fans or message board posters to play Clue when they could just be transparent and not have Dolenz doing their job for them
Off topic - but about their repeated use of the same old legends and flashbacks:
I could send an email tomorrow to all ex- MLB players “can we use your likeness” and I’d imagine they’d say yes.
Barry Bonds or whoever maybe not but they or whoever decided that they can only have so many legends due to rights or greed or whatever is just pure BS.
Maybe I’m wrong, maybe Willie McGee charged them 1,000,000 but haha, no way
They’re just lazy. If the union is a factor I get that- there’s so many players outside of union that would love to be in a video game free or charge

@Dolenz_PSN and (in addition) to that point, the sample isn’t just April anymore obviously but he actually has a negative run value on stolen base attempts right now (he’s only 9 for 13)

I heard them say this isn't true, however, given how often they have either blatantly lied or lied by omission this year, I'd have a hard to believing SDS if they told me the sky was blue.
