IMO, it still weights games played too much. Somebody with that much higher of a winning percentage and that much higher of an OPS when the ERA is about the same (I think WHIP would be better than ERA anyway, not sure how that would change anything) makes me say Notorious should be above rebel. I think there should just be a min number of games played to be on the list. Just one opinion.

That’s the biggest problem we ran into when creating the formula. I originally wanted to just make it win ratio but that would be problematic for someone that is say 40-10. Couldn’t make it W - L as that obviously favors the no life even more. Multiplying the two was the best thing we could come up with as IMO there just is no perfect way to do it.

NIce job guys. If you can go to 1000 so I could maybe be there. Even though I dont play enough.

Wait 188-11 with a 1.436 ops? Cmon. And Mitch vouches for him? That is probably number one. Unless it is Pitching Rebels alt.

That’s Notorious lol. He’s an absolute beast but just doesn’t play the game that much

Interesting list, kudos on the work effort! Out of curiosity, where would I land on this list? My record is 115-35 with a .904 OPS and 3.70 ERA.

I stopped playing ranked in September so I didn't quite accumulate the same amount of games played as most guys on the list.

796.86

Who came up with the idea for using a formula?

I love how just about everything we do starts off as a joke and then we run with it

Me and EJNave created a formula to better measure who the best players in MLB The Show are. We feel like the lifetime leaderboards reward players who no life the game more than players with more skill but don't play the game as much. Because of this, we created the Total Lifetime Equation. This is calculated using the formula (W-L)(W/L) + (OPS)(1000) - (ERA)(100). If pitching is not as RNG in 20 then we will add more weight to ERA. We took the top 150 players on the current lifetime leaderboards and put them into a spreadsheet, and calculated the Total Lifetime for all 150 players and sorted them. Hopefully this will serve as a better indication for who the best players in the world are. Unfortunately it is not perfect as personally my Total Lifetime is 1157, yet I am rated 811 on the lifetime leaderboards. We would like to try to expand it to 1000 players, but it might take a while for us to complete that. Hope you guys enjoy. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xAbkNUbJ196P2qQQg-4BY9AUAOvLbIIlxlRR_8ycGuA/edit?usp=sharing
