MLB 11 The Show Rosters - Operation Sports Full Minors (Opening Day Set)

[jskatt21]

What do I risk other if I play using only my profile and controlling one team? Does it screw anything up?

I know doing the 30 team control is not hard, but I really only want to focus on my squad and am not really in need of controlling the others.

Advice or pros/cons would be great, not sure I understand all the options available.

If you're using the 25 man roster that someone created earlier, this step is already done. after you advance to the regular season, you need to add those players BACK to each team's 40 man roster in order to have 100% accurate rosters. again, lineups and rotations are already set by knight. this whole process should take an hour including DL'ing the players -not 3-4 hours because you're spending that time doing lineups that are already done

There are two ways of doing it - either start with 25 and add back (using the roster posted), or start with 40 and place the 15 guys not on opening day MLB roster in minors. These guys are still on the 40 man. They both work.

However, going from 40 to 25 seems more effective / realistic in my opinion, as you're not using options on major league players that are in the minors on the uploaded roster set - those guys are then authentically on the MLB roster (as opposed to all being in A ball) going from 40 to 25.

When injuring these players they remain (as they did in real life) on the MLB team, just do not count against the 25 man limit.

The guys that are sent down after ST then have options used as in real life.

Regarding the lineups. Yes, you are correct. That is the part that is the real time saver if using a 25 man roster.

Just tested in a quick sim, with players on DL in Single A there is no prompt/notification as to when they have come of the DL

None of the other Lineups, Rotations, etc will remain accurate.

Actually ImBacon had it as Sizemore on his spreadsheet so he must think that Grady's is a better fit for him
