He's only 36. I would have guessed he was much older than that. Here's the story.

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

yo Knight, did you get my PM about when your rosters cut off? i wanna keep the IN SEASON changes as up to date as possible but don't need to reenter thing you have already done. Do I start with today's (4/7) transactions or do you need the ones from 4/5 and 4/6 like I PMed you?

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

As long as all "HIDDEN" deliveries and stances aren't touched I am fine with that, unless the SCEA patch fixes all "HIDDEN" deliveries/stances. I would rather have the option of keeping or getting rid of them. There is a thread that bhs16 already posted with all "HIDDEN" stuff. The only thing is that he hasn't added to the list in a while so there are some added throughout the thread through other posts. Here is the link.

http://www.operationsports.com/forum...c-stances.html

unfortunately this is the best list of "hidden" stances and the ones I have been working off of. I will not change any when Knight sends me the file to add the stances/motions but I will include a word file for any "hidden" stances that actually have a better stance than the hidden one. I will however change a few of the given stances cuz guys like Ianetta and John Buck and some others all have given stances that still aren't as good as some other alternatives. Those too will be listed in my word file in case you want to change them back but trust me, the reason these are taking so long is cuz I am very anal about this stuff and I'm glad games have started actually so I can use my mlb.tv to "jump to an inning" and watch videos over and over for accuracy rather than hope their mlb.com video page happens to have a video of them that is worth using for stances/motions. Pitchers are especially hard cuz a lot of times the pitching highlight videos they show show a guy who might pitch from the wind up, pitching out of the stretch or it might not catch the first half second where the guy actually goes into his wind up so being able to watch actual games has helped the last 2 days. I am almost done w/ the AL

Strut...I don't change anything with regards to that.
I just give my minor league guys either a stance I know is close(rare) or something other than gen 1.

My cut off is....yesterday for the first set. I'm going off of the rosters as of yesterday.

I'm sorry...I thought I got back to you on that.

We're all really happy that you are fine with it.

I highly doubt the patch "fixes" this because last years game had hidden stances too and it wasn't fixed.

Commish, you can actually add the music durinig franchise. Before you play away games take that home team and do their music before you start your series.

Off topic here, but MLB.TV hasn't been working to well (for me at least). Many of the games aren't archived yet (especially opening day), and for some games I have been unable to jump to innings when it is live. I download nextdef, etc. and I have premium. I still like it better than MLB package on TW cable though. Great to watch on my laptop in bed at night.
Probably is a problem for everyone, I suspect. The DVR feature definitely needs upgraded. Its not very user friendly in my opinion.

I'm just trying to settle on a difficulty level and get my hitting down and sliders down before Knight drops his rosters. It's gonna be like Christmas when they arrive
Back to the Red Sox game...

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

MLB.tv has had me frustrated all evening. First the first inning where Kelly Johnson hit a first pitch homer was missing. Now the archive won't work. I'm planning on canceling tomorrow and going with Extra Innings.

Can't wait for the rosters... Thanks Knight

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

Hey Knight, will you also be posting a version without rating changes for the fixed lineups? I know you mentioned it earlier in the thread but I was hoping this would be released now also for those who like to do Fantasy Drafts.

Thanks man, we appreciate it.

Do not worry about MLB.TV too much. They just upgraded to a new version so we could get the games in HD. It looks like there are a lot of kinks, but I've been a subscribed since 2003 and at the beginning of the year there are always some issues. If you can wait it out a week or two it will be worth it.

Please do this! I know I am in the minority, but it takes me less time to fix the lineup than go through and reedit all the stats and I find that SECA did a good job with the ratings except for a player with a major injury in the last 3 years. I'll even send you a PayPal donation for your time! Of course, I'll just be happy to start franchise either way!

I believe his fix is for other teams so that when u check out boxscores for games you arent playing you don't see Albert Pujols leading off and Manny Ramirez hitting 8th. Don't wanna speak for Knight but I think he is releasing both with and without these edits but it sounds like you'll want them if you like accuracy
