How long does it usually take for OSFM to come out?

last year april 17 or so? I just posted this about a week ago and I cant remember exactly.
It was a couple sundays after release date
this time around it might be closer to end of april, depending how the faces and body models carry over from 16

Marlins, Rockies, Mariners and Cardinals.

Of course The Yankees too but they are not under the radar!

The Rox for sure. Solid lineup, up and coming pitching staff (get well Chettis!), signed some relievers this off-season. I always use the Rox in one of my franchises just based on the fact that Arenado is my favorite baseball player, but they will definitely be a lot of fun to use this year.

Living in NW Illinois (die-hard White Sox fan here), I go to a bunch of Brew Crew games as well. Miller Park is awesome and as someone previously mentioned, they have a lot of good assets in the farm system. Maybe try to flip Braun to a contender for some pitching and you'll be on your way.

I'll be using those two clubs for sure as well as the Sox and maybe the Marlins, Yelich is the man and it was awesome to watch him rip it up in the WBC.

And you can solve that god awful financial problem with Greinke! :wink:

I don't think they are as financially strapped as they were last year.....they managed to afford full stripes on their pants this year.

He is 1/3 of their payroll last I checked.

Thanks guys!

Braves seem really interesting, especially with the new ballpark, but are they actually good enough, like is there a small but realistic chance that they can make the postseason at least?

Cardinals, I always liked a lot about them, but the years before they were just too good to fit into my scheme.

Brewers I didn't choose cos of the closed roof thing, now they are an option.

Same goes for the Diamondbacks, I like that they have some star power in Goldschmidt and Grienke.

The Phillies I have been wanting to use for years, but first they were too good, then too old, then too bad, this year idk if they are good enough already, but they are on my list.

Think Marlins with Jose Fernandez would have been my front runner, but as it looks now they aren't.

The Padres are just too bad aren't they?



For sure I'll go with the osfm rosters and not the first version of it, actually gonna wait till I get the game till June. Fully patched with revised rosters, that way I will get the most out of them.

Padres may have the worst starting rotation ever assembled. In the game their top rated starter is a 73 and he is in AAA. Lol.
