Is the endurance rating for pitchers still out of 10?  I just noticed that all my starting pitchers lost endurance from what they were in 2007.  Some of them lost a lot.  Like 9's dropping to 7's or 6's.  What is the deal with this?  Can we correct this?  I mean, I can understand some of the other ratings changing a little and that is fine, but endurance should be pretty static.  And it definitely shouldn't drop 2 or 3.  Did anyone else's pitchers have this issue?

Hmm, yeah, every pitcher in my starting rotation had rather significant drops in endurance as well.  This looks like a potential conversion problem.  Most troubling is the starters whose endurance dropped from 7 or 8 to 5, which isn't really adequate endurance for a starter...

OUCH!

My SP lost endurance also and it won't work now. I had 2 SPS with 6 endurance which was fine. Now one is at 5 and one at 4 which won't work.

Here's the details on my staff:

SP | OOTP7 rating | OOTP9 rating

Wheeler | 6 | 5
Daisetsu | 7 | 5
Mikula | 7 | 6
Gardner | 6 | 4
Horowitz | 7 | 6

That's crazy and will seriously destroy my SP. I can live with 6 endurance. Heck, Wheeler has been a 6 his whole career. But being knocked down to 5 or 4 is not going to work out. So now I have a SP staff that have MR endurance ratings? Great. Hope this gets edited and fixed.

I verified that apparently the "Other ratings" scale that we've always had set to 2-8 now covers pitcher endurance. I looked at the underlying values in OOTP8 and 9, and they're the same. It's just the rating you see that's different.
