    Clarification on rosters, options, face scans, etc.

    I'm a long-time veteran of this site and have played The Show for many, many years. I always want to start my franchise with a solid roster set and while this year's game came with the minor league rosters on the game it seems there's still some glaring issues. Luckily it looks like those issues will be resolved shortly. However, I feel somewhat confused about a few things regarding some of what I'm referring to.

    If anyone can give me a more detailed explanation I (and I'm sure a lot of others on here) would appreciate it, as much of this can get lost in the numerous threads on the main page here.

    First, Ridin' in apparently releasing his own roster this weekend based off of the original, default roster. Is this correct? And it's my understanding that this will fix an issue where the CPU makes way too many trades early on to try to balance out their roster (for example the Oriole's having 12 catchers in their system).

    But will this fix the options issue? For those that aren't aware many minor league players have incorrect number of options. Meaning that some of your top prospects will have to clear waivers long before they would in real life.

    Then there's apparently another roster that San Diego Studios will release that will include a few big name prospects that were somehow left out of the game, like Gavin Lux from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Will he have a face scan then? Will the face scan be included in Ridins' roster?

    For me at least there seems to be a lot of confusion on which roster to use for franchise. I was really hoping that since the minor league rosters were in the game I'd be able to just jump right into franchise mode on day one. However, here I am, nearing 10 days with the game still trying to figure out what roster to use to start my franchise.

    Thanks in advance for the clarification.

    I do know that the option issue will not be fixed by this update for players who have face scans in the game.

    I am not sure if there is a list of who that includes... But to me this still means you have to have 30 team control to avoid this issue.

      I do control all 30 teams, so I guess I’m basically waiting for the next SDS roster with missing prospects.

        Ridin is releasing one this weekend or early next week so if you're ok with the options issue then his should be fine.

        For me it's just the waiting that really sucks.

          Re: Clarification on rosters, options, face scans, etc.

          This is why I’ve started creating new franchises in July or August and just using my carryover franchise on release.

          The amount of (annual recurring) issues is disappointing but at least gameplay continues to be amazing.

            But what about the SDS roster update coming soon? Doesn’t that have more face scans and will it fix the options issue?

              Face scans yes. No word on if it'll fix options.

              But also now no word on when it'll even come out. Opening Day could be in July.

                I do 30 team control as well like you. I’m more worried about the face scans as well. Glad I haven’t purchased it yet this year. It seems like kind of a mess for franchise players.

                  Not really. Some missing prospects and the issue with options that can be just about mitigated with 30 team control which I always use anyways.

                  I’m enjoying the game immensely as a franchise player. There are obviously things we all want to see added but it’s definitely not a mess. At least from my perspective.

                    Is the 30-team mitigation just ensuring that no other team claims the player? Do options reset when a player with 0 options clears waivers? or are they forever out of options?

                      I’m honestly not sure on the question regarding options. Next time I log on I’ll see if I can get you an answer.

                      For whatever reason, I haven’t seen noteworthy prospects get exposed and claimed by other teams. If I see one, I can easily just put him back on the team he’s supposed to be on. But I’m in Year 2 and I haven’t had to do that more than 2 or 3 times. It just doesn’t seem to be a major issue. And I pay pretty close attention to the other teams throughout the league.

                      I’d like to see them fix it but it’s not ruining my experience at all in the meantime.

                        Once a player is out of options he's out of options forever.

                          Unless there’s confirmation that SDS will release a fix for the options I’m gonna just roll with the original rosters and make the few missing ones myself. To be honest, I doubt If have even noticed the missing prospects until I checked OS.

                            I know I'm in such a mental struggle haha. I'm not a huge prospect guy like I know most of the top 100 but after that no idea. But just knowing that they are incorrect bothers me.

                              I'm with you, to be honest. I've researched it all a bit more, I think I'm going to just use these rosters that Ridin releases this weekend. I'm not worried so much about the options. It would be nice if they were fixed but I run 30-team control so I can regulate it if need be.
