Is this the worst live roster ever?

Re: Is this the worst live roster ever?

Is there a comprehensive list of who these fake players are and the team?

Not entirely a list but all 450 players in A ball on the default roster are fake.

I edited them all to D potential and overall under 70. They may end up in AA with some injuries, though the CPU doesn't move players up right now for that, but they will rarely ever impact the MLB. Not a permanent solution for fake players but a nice stop gap from them ever being in the MLB.

There are also some hidden in free agency and sprinkled into AAA and AA but I don't have an exact list.

Re: Is this the worst live roster ever?

Here is a list I compiled over the years. There are a few new ones since 20 and some of these no longer work for SDS.

Yep unreal!!

Live roster was updated to reflect him being injured. It was not an opening day roster.

Re: Is this the worst live roster ever?

Brand new player here. Can someone tell me how to start my Franchise with the live rosters? Every way I've tried doing it results in my team still having outdated rosters. For instance, I'm using the Braves and Ynoa (tonight's starter) is in AAA when I start my Franchise even though the live rosters accurately have him MLB.

I've tried loading the live roster and then starting a new Franchise with "use current rosters" and also by loading live, saving live roster and then starting Franchise by loading my roster file and neither works. What am I missing?

Live rosters and the roster vault is broken and bugged

Re: Is this the worst live roster ever?

Well after 12 hours I was able to edit all Single A stars down to D's. I created every first round pick for each team and the Japanese players. Did you know that you can't put in Mick for Mick Abel and Hancock is also considered an inappropriate name...

Re: Is this the worst live roster ever?

Vlad being a 73 based on his career up to this point is justified. Stanton and Judge both being 90+ overall players based on last couple years is a joke.

Only good thing with rosters this year is the abundance of face scans.

What a silly thing to be mad about. Judge and Staton are easily 90+ overall players that get injured a lot. Show me anything in their current attributes that isn’t realistic?

I created one for myself by going through the credits and searching for SDS staff members in the default roster. To Houston's point, there's been changes since he compiled his list.

All SDS staff are in AA. Here's the breakdown of all those I found, by team. It is quite possible I missed some. I didn't bother writing down their position, just the name. I also noticed that some players were removed from the current Live roster. Those players are between brackets.

Re: Is this the worst live roster ever?

Thanks for going through all this @iron.

BTW it was not one of their selling argument a year ago to have full minors ?

Honestly I’m shocked how they delivered an unfinished product this year. This including the Stadium Creator, all issues with roster & stadiums vault.

Re: Is this the worst live roster ever?

I just don't have the time or energy to go through every team and make sure all players are there, create them if they aren't, give them ratings and all that.

This really shouldn't be something the consumer has to do themselves. I feel like a roster update should be out by now. I spent $85 on this game and I have to wait probably three weeks for Ridin's rosters so I can start my franchise.

With the Indians, Jake Bauers is listed as an OF and he plays 1B in real life, but if you put him at 1B he is out of position and drops routine throws to first by infielders. I tried to change it but the same thing happens. It's the same with Yu Chang at 1B. I'll give them a break there since it's his first year playing there. I have to call up Bobby Bradley to play 1B, which he should be there anyway, Bauers is a joke.

And the fact that you can't download anything from the vault, wow. That's crazy, and also crazy they haven't fixed it yet. Maybe they have by the time I'm writing this.

The on-field gameplay is the best it's ever been, as well as the presentation. But other than that, and I won't even get into RTTS, the game has been very underwhelming so far.

I guess I just have to wait for now.

Agree pretty much about the roster, however, after struggling thru the learning process the stadium creator (with the exception of lack of a locator) can produce some beautiful, outstanding stadiums. Unfortunately thousands are posting stuff in the vault that are nothing more than junk. If I had to base an opinion on some of that crap, I’d agree with you, but otherwise it’s a great addition.

You’re right. I have more against the lack of search function than the creator itself.

Probably many nice gems (seen a few screenshots here in another thread) burden in the vault.
