BZ 1560: 1871 scouting reports text off

[BPS]

Using 1871 settings with pitchers often have 2/10/10 ratings (out of 10).

Scouting reports are not properly scaled for these ratings, however. For instance, we read in the summary for a 2/8/10 potential player: "This guy will always be minor league filler..." as compared to 2/10/10 he is a loser (in 1871). This sounds okay.

But we then read in the rest of the scouting report:
Stuff: "Projected stud with unhittable stuff..." (With a stuff potential of 2?)
Movement: "His breaking stuff is well above average..."
Control: "This kid has the sort of stuff that could give him a long career..."

It seems comments about individual skills are not scaled properly to 1871 settings (except maybe for the stuff which calls someone with 2 out of 10 a stud!).

Not being terribly familiar with 1871 settings, could you please provide some examples of what should be said here? Thanks.

What I quoted represented a contradiction: the summary said he's a loser but the detailed comments said he was great. That was my only point. The time period is relevant because of the sort of extreme ratings given players in this era to generate 1870s sort of stats. For instance, in the modern era of baseball a pitcher who allows almost no HRs in a season would be amazing; in the 1870s he would be just another guy.

This one might be tricky, but I logged it as BZ 1560 regardless.

This was marked as something that will not be addressed.
