2015 OSFM HYBRID CREATION AND EXECUTION

It could create a problem with the game's AI if we start franchises with OSFM and all the budgets and player salaries are correct to real life, but then the AI uses the stock salary/budget values that shipped with the game.

...and hopefully there's a fix in there somewhere that doesn't make top prospects leave through the Rule 5 draft.

It's an interesting question that you raised. I'd like to know the answer to that as well.

30-team control can fix all things. Let us just repeat this mantra. For the folks who want FA's to sign at appropriate AAV's in the offseason, I suggest doing it yourself. Unfortunately. Same for the Rule 5 draft.

As for the contracts, they are already done! I am just waiting to see if any more pre-arb players show up on Cot's contracts between now and opening day. Everyone above minimum wage is already good to go.

30 team control is great, but the game should be programmed to work with what it allows the user to edit. If it allows editable contracts the AI should be programmed to work with that. What if you put in all tiny contracts for players or gigantic unrealistic ones? How does the game react?

An end user shouldn't have to go through every team and sign each player to make sure they sign at reasonable rates. When I am in my franchise in the 2nd or third year I want the AI to be making these decisions. Where's the fun in deciding where and for how much free agents sign for?

No one is disagreeing with you. With the tools we have, however, 30-team control is the best/only solution.

I know, but I feel we shouldn't just keep saying "30 team control fixes all". We should be asking for better tools. I know the dev team tries to provide the best tools, but often things slip through the cracks if people seem satisfied.

Good call Willard, we want AAA as perfect as can be and AA pretty close with prospects littered in AA and A.... Once the original sets are out go to town from there

Does this export trick only happen and work in mlb 15? I can't get it to work in mlb 14 I saved the wip file, started a franchise with CPU roster control on I go to manage roster and no export or import option comes up for me at all?? even tried skipping spring training, and I checked on created players no option to export or import what am I doing wrong? or does it only work for mlb 15

It's not in the MANAGE ROSTER section....
It's in the CPU ROSTER CONTROL section....bottom-right panel on that same front end menu.
