Future Stars, OverHated?

LOL! Yes, sadly so.

I have nothing against the Future Stars, I just don't agree with 95 ratings. Higher than a lot of Live Series star players. I agree, marketing the future and maybe putting a 95 rating on them is how to showcase them today. I can see that logic.

DBacks and Orioles seem to be the AAA to rest of the league. I'm not saying don't put them in there but to have a higher rating without proving anything is a reach.

Aren't the future stars all the same level across the board?

Sure. So start them at 70 or 75 or 80 but not make them the best cards in the game. I agree with what everyone is saying. But I do think ratings matter and most "future stars" are busts and the peaks of their careers should not be a "I had a 95 rating in MLB Show way back when". But, the point to market the game and keep fans of crappy teams engaged is a solid point. I agree with that.

I love the game. But seeing the future stars coming out with 90+ ratings seems a little overdone. I prefer 90+ ratings only reserved for Legends, or current stars of the game. At the end of the day, 90% of these players end up being scrubs, so why give them such a high rating? Someone please help me understand this?
