OOTP 13 Ratings vs. OOTP 9 Ratings

I was curious how the player ratings compared between the two versions of the game. So, I looked at all the players in the 12 teams' organizations and compared how many were rated 5* potential, how many 4.5* potential, etc. Here's what I found. These are league-wide totals that include the minors and the DL, but do not include free agents or prep players in the high school or college leagues. It's also just my scout's opinion of the potential (not current) ratings, so take that for what it is worth.

5 Star Players
OOTP 9: 29
OOTP 13: 22

4.5 Star Players
OOTP 9: 45
OOTP 13: 37

4 Star Players
OOTP 9: 54
OOTP 13: 49

3.5 Star Players
OOTP 9: 38
OOTP 13: 42

3 Star Players
OOTP 9: 39
OOTP 13: 33

So, my conclusion? On balance, the ratings seem lower in version 13 than in version 9. In fact, the only organization whose players look substantially better in the new version is New York, primarily because my scout really likes some of the minor league prospects there. (Congrats, Paul). Everyone else was basically flat in terms of 3*+ potential players or went backwards.

Just thought this was worth sharing with the league.
