Full Minors Roster for '09

[~Guru~]

Dude....for the 1 millionth time. These rosters will have the stat glitch...only rosters created from last weeks scea release will not have the stat glitch. Knights rosters are from the original batch that came with the game therefore all of his releases will have the glitch...he would have to start weeks or work on the new scea rosters that came out last week in order to not get the glitch.

Only a patch from scea can fix the prior rosters including knights and don't count on it with the patch....is far from a game killer so for the love of god no more asking the same nonsense

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

hey guys do u know if we r supposed to be getting a roster update from SCEA soon and if so, is it going to be a patch like last year that addresses batting stances or is it just to update rosters?

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

Here is what i think is a roster related question...

I simulated the first season of my franchise and gordon beckham (round1), andrew mccutcheon (round2), and austin jackson (round3) were all available in the rule 5 draft...is this a product of the way they are created? doesn't seem very realistic.

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

Stros-Cards-Crew......NL West(minus the Dodgers come tonight...maybe tomorrow)

Speaking of....what the heck happened to Ivan DeJesus Jr. I can't find him playing anywhere this year...still around?

Got injured during spring training and was slated to be out the rest of the year. But they said he might make a return after the all-star break.

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

What is the historical stat glitch, and how will it affect my franchise? I've heard about it, but I'm not sure what it is.

Has nothing to do with how they were created.
Players have "built-in" service time...no way to see it...and depending on ..what happens with that team....trades...injuries...etc....some guys will get covered who aren't...and guys that are not currently on a teams real 40 man(like those listed above)...will not get covered.

This is the first year with the Rule V for SCEA....I'm sure they will tighten up the logic if we badger them enough.
There will be plenty of good prospects available in the Rule V...that's why...I'm going to fudge a little in MY OWN franchise and cover those guys before I start.

I'll set it as it really is...and let other decide what they want to do in their own world.

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

Just wondering, where did you find your scouting reports for players? Because I was looking at some of the changes you made on the pitches guys throw, and some of them don’t seem to be right. I’ll just use the Mets since I’m a Met fan. The biggest think you seemed to do is take anyone with a sinking fastball and simply make it a sinker, which I understand, but it stops these guys from ever pitching high, and some of them do so. So I as hoping you could tell me where you got them from so I can fix these guys. For example:

Pelfrey – You took away his straight fastball and made it a sinker, giving him nothing to throw high, he does have a straight fastball in his repertoire, his fastball really only sinks when he throws it low
Ollie – Scrapped his 4 seamer leaving only a 2 seamer (I think he does throw a 4 as well)
Livan – Got rid of his 4 seamer (he does throw one in addition to the sinker), made his 12-6 a plain curve (the 12-6 is more accurate IMHO), replaced his slider with a slurve (I actually like that), if you do want to take away his 4 seamer, you should at least add the ephus
Niese – Made his 12-6 a plain curve (not sure about that, I think the 12-6 is a bit better), made his runner and 2 seamer a 4 seamer and a cutter (don’t really understand that, he does have a pitch that tails away from him, whether it’s a 2 seamer or a runner), made his split a change (good move, better represents the velocity)
Redding – Made his 12-6 a curve and his slurve a slider (not sure I agree with either of those)
Figueroa – Change his fastball from 4 seams to 2 (not quite sure about that, I’ve seen it tail, cut, and go straight, so I’m not really sure what he should have, maybe a 4 and a 2?)
Parnell – Didn’t add his new splitter (understandably), scrapped his 4 seamer (don’t understand that at all, he does throw one, or at least he throws a straight fastball)
Stokes – Gave him a knuckler (I’ve never seen him throw that, I have seen him throw curves, which you took away)
Rodriguez – Scrapped his 2, not sure I understand that, and you made his slider a cutter when in reality it IS an extremely fast slider, not a cutter
Kunz, Green, Feliciano – Took away their fastballs leaving them sinkers, only one who I MIGHT understand that with is Green

Great work, as always, Knight. I'm really enjoying these sneak previews, and continue to be impressed by the method and the result.

I have noticed this as well with my Blue Jays pitchers... I know for a fact that Roy Halladay had his pitches messed with and to be honest they are COMPLETELY wrong... I think who ever was editing the pitchers pitches went a little overboard with the sinker pitch..

If you check out Halladay's pitches in your roster his "Go To" pitch is a sinker??? That couldn't be further from his actual pitch. His pitches should be as followed...

#1 - Four-Seam fastball which he can throw in the mid 90s.
#2 - Two-Seam (sinking) fastball which he throws at 92-94 MPH.
#3 - Curveball which he throws around 77 MPH.
#4 - Cutter which he throws at 90-92 MPH.
#5 - Change-Up which he throws at around 77-80 MPH.

Now I hope this didn't come accross as bashing your rosters or whoever edited the pitchers, because I still like your set a lot! I just got a little annoyed when I had to quit my game because I seen a sinker in Roy's arsenal, then realised I'd have to edit all his pitches back to a more accurate representation... Also this is not the only Jays pitcher who has this problem...
