It's been brought to my attention that some amateur players that we are currently drafting are being re-rated between the April 15th version and the April 30th version. I.E. Rick Langford. It seems to me that if these players are being re-rated while the season goes on that it would only be fair to stop simming until the draft is complete. That way we are all drafting based on the same information available. If other owners knew of Rick Lanford's unforseen upward trend, they might have drafted him. Just my humble opinion.

True, but players are going to be rerated all the time in this game, so it is hard to tell what they will actually end up being.

Yes, but the field would be level. No one would know it then, as it stands now he probably would have been a 3-5 pick, but those teams didn't get the benefit of seeing his sudden progression from a 87 peak, 4.20 ERA with a potential rating of 56 to 90 peak, 3.81 ERA and a potential of 76. I know that players get re-rated but shouldn't we all be picking from the same group of players?

As the owner who drafted Rick Langford, I truly had no idea about this extremely strange bug.
Who knows, maybe he will get re-rated back to his April 1 to 15 numbers?
What we have to find out now is how many players are affected by this. And if most of them are, do all their numbers improve, or do some actually become worst?
I hate to say this, but this is just one more example of BBM's insane level of randomness. As much as I love baseball, I consistently am bedazzled by the Mogul game and its strange bugs and bizzare way of acting.
As Scott pointed out, players are going to get re-rated a lot. And I do mean, a lot.
I simmed ahead to May 30, and Langford's numbers are the same than what they were on April 30. No idea when these changes occur, and even less idea as to why it does that.
Imagine: the game conceptor has declared this version needs no more patches...

I think some chance that players won't be exactly as predicted by the time they make our teams is good. Anyway, rookies are always the worst to trend since one or two (random) off seasons can change their peaks dramatically.
The only thing we can do is sim several seasons ahead five or six times and see how they tend to do, then cross our fingers and hope that what we see is how things work out.
