MLB 13: The Show Has 17 Players Rated 99

Having been noted previously SCEA is shifting away from a “bar” representing a player’s overall skill level and going to a numbered ratings system with MLB 13: The Show. Of course those numbers existed in past iterations they were just hidden away which makes it interesting to find out just how players stacked up then compared to new edition out next month.

Apparenlty MLB 12 featured a mindboggling 44 players rated 99 overall while a change to the positional weight of individual attributes has reduced that number to 17 in MLB 13. The information comes from a post over at Operation Sports. The Los Angeles Angels lead the way with 3 players at the pinnacle and a few others that are sure to be close. Continue on for the list of players who’ll start MLB 13 rated 99.
