    Knight, as it seems to be a nice little question and answer session going on (regardless of whether you like it or not =p) I got a quick question. Which of the well respected prospect gurus do you value highest. Baseball America/Kevin Goldstein/Keith Law (ugh... =p)/John Sickels. I'm personally a Sickels fan, just wondering what you use as more of a baseline for your minors. How about minor league equivalency calculators, do those factor at all into the way you decipher your minors attributes, or is it done more by eye. I guess last question is have there been any tests you've (or anyone else) done to test the player progression, is it still a little faulty? Thanks for everything, Knight.
    I prefer Baseball America.
    I know some guys can't stand Will Lingo...or Jim Callas...or John Manuel or Chris Kline..(at any one given time I guess)...but I do read Sickels and go to his website regularly.
    I have received his analyst publication in the past...but for the last two years...my order got shipped...and then was in limbo..and I didn't receive it until late JUNE! ..so I didn't order it this year.

    Do you like MiLB Analyst by McKamey?
    I love their potential/probability setup and wish SCEA would adopt that.

    As for formula.....I had to come up with my own.
    Trying to plug something in just doesn't work that well....and in a way..it is by "eye". I no longer have to actually do calculations....it's automatic now(too many years at this)
    That's why I couldn't tell guys how I was getting the lineups to work.
    It's not that I didn't want to say...but it's practically impossible to relay.
    It's not...do this and you get that. I look at the entire lineup and squad in one shot..and just know, after years of this, what I need to do to get the desired results. It was a little changed this year from last..that's why the first few were time consuming.

    Progression is the next of my tests.
    Luckily...I have a couple of weeks as I won't be starting the Full Minors(creating the minor league guys) for a couple of weeks. Razr is currently doing the MLB pitchers for the set and Strut is doing the stance/motions so I have some time to test.

      From your lips to SCEA's ears!!!

              Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

              So by the end of April (Or near that) there will be a full roster update including both the minors and player edits?

              I've done **** like this in the past on a much lower scale and recall the headaches and tired eyes lol Thanks for all the work you're all putting in. I look forward to enjoying your work. SCEA should put you on the payroll.

                Just registered to say thanks to Knight and everyone else involved. To do something on this scale is simply tremendous.

                I applaud you gentlemen.

                        I was thinking about this the other day..***ssell gave away a free copy of the Show to a poster here. I know other sport titles the devs give the game to roster makers early and for free..NCAA most notably. Is there a reason Knight does not get a free copy?

                            If Knight would get hired by OS and be on the staff, he might just get a copy.

                              Ha...you guys got me laughing here...

                              I'm toying with putting out a little quick fix roster.
                              Just something for me to "warm up" while I'm waiting for Razr-Strut and the boys to finish up the pitching edits and stances..
                              I'll take the roster I have the lineup fixes with...add the top 50 prospects(plus a couple of more for some clubs)
                              No faces...no stances...just attributes for the prospects.

                              Please don't post..."put this guy in there"..."put that guy in there"...that's for the Full Minors.

                                That would be perfect, as I only really care about the top 50 prospects or so...I dont really care if the pitching or batting stances are correct....
                                When life hands you a lemon, just look up and say, "Oh yeah, is that all you got? Because I love lemons!".
