Re: Knights End of Season Set

I can hardly wait. Thanks so much Knight for all the work that you do. SCEA should really put you on the payroll!!!

Re: Knights End of Season Set

• Updated rosters, with first round draft picks YES...and a couple of second rounders
• Faces for Minor League Players Absolutely...just about every one....the ones I "skipped"(I just did some quickly)...I will go back and tighten up
• Updated Ratings from you (Not SCEA) SCEA ratings for the players they had....my ratings for everyone I created
• FA's Aroldis Chapman and Yu Darvish YES...on the FA list

Am I correct on those? Also, I was wonder if these will be in the roster:

• Tyler Matzek (Rockies Draft Pick) YES
• Recently retired players (Clemens, Bonds, etc)? No....but I could

Hope this helps!

Could you please? I'm referring to the bottom line about recently retires players such as Bonds and Clemens. That would be awesome Knight! What would be even awesomer is if you could throw an El Duque in there as well.

Or any of these guys (Players who ended the 2009 season as free Agents) who got dropped from the game in SCEA updates.

Particularly Chris Duncan and B.J. Ryan if they're not in the set already, which I don't believe they are if I recall correctly.

I would def be willing to wait even longer for these additions. I'll call you God if you do these.

Re: Knights End of Season Set

IMO the problem with this is that these guys would be FA in everyone's franchise and i don't think everyone would want guys not actually in the game.

I know me personally, I wouldn't mind having AN real professional baseball player in my franchise FA pool. Stranger things have happened than an unexpected FA signing.

Re: Knights End of Season Set

If guys like Curt Schilling and Kenny Rogers were in there, I don't think it would be a stretch for Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, Juan Gonzalez, and other similar players to be in the game. An adjustment of ratings to where they're closer to their real life counterparts, essentially barely above average players and not superstars, would allow them to be in the game without anyone's franchise being disrupted.

Do the SCEA ratings update significantly over the season? As players such as Carlos Gonzalez and Kendry Morales improved dramatically over the season.

In terms of stances, as a Rockies fan, my suggestion would be the following stance changes, as they're the closest ones:
Tulowitzki - Jacobs (Tulowitzki is now upright)
Hawpe - Bloomquist
Gonzalez - Durham

Unfortunately I dont think Schilling or Kenny Rogers (or most of the FA's that were in the game when it released prior to any SCEA updates) are in this set.

Oh man I literally feel honored... A fatjoe edition... That has a nice ring to it lol. That aside if I had to pick 5 or 6 dudes it would be bonds, sosa, ruth, clemens, mussina, and either juan gonzalez or mark mcgwire (lol). I would of said palmiero or even Mike piazza but gotta get back the best steroid era of sammy and mark lol. All in all that final slot should be between juan, marky mark or palmiero. Let me know what you think of those for the fatjoe edition knight lol. Mad love and respect bro.

I agree with Bonds, Clemens, Mussina, and probably Sosa. I would definitely prefer Piazza to Juan Gone or Palmeiro. Or even David Wells would be pretty cool.

Edit: Also, the beauty about these old allstars is you don't need A or even B potentials because they are already stars. You don't want to make them like dominant or anything lol. Just make them so you know they are elite status with pujols and them (Unless you make them in their declining years). Man striking out the babe with king felix or greinke would be freaking awesome lol.

I personally don't think he should include old time legends like the Babe. That would be too unrealistic in Franchise, as opposed to recently retired players who are well...still living. Besides, Babe is one of the legends already in the game. All those Gold and Silver Era players are in the FA pool outside of Franchise, aren't they? I'm not sure but I think you can choose to include them in the FA pool for Franchise, but if not I'm sure if you add them to whatever team in roster control before starting your franchise that they would be there when you did start it.

Re: Knights End of Season Set

Knight, did you put Joba in as a starter or reliever ? and what changes would we make if we converted him from a starter to a reliever ? thanks !

I'm pretty sure Joba will be a starter...he's a starter in real life...the Yankees wouldn't go to a 3 man rotation for the entire season

Re: Knights End of Season Set

Knight I just wanted to say that I can't wait for these rosters. You said in a previous post that Razr's pitch edits would not be in v1. I was wondering how many versions of these you planned on putting out? Again thank you!!! These rosters are the only reason I haven't traded this game in!

Re: Knights End of Season Set

Knight,

Will the first version have the fixes for the batting orders, so that we won't see guys like Helton leading off?

Thanks!

Re: Knights End of Season Set

I have to admit I have been "lurking" around this thread for two weeks now. I wanted to be up front and honest and tell everyone, I'm as giddy as a schoolboy on Christmas morning for this roster. Thank you Knight for your hard work. I had one question:

Does anyone know if the "potential" rating will be able to be edited in next year's game?

I know this is not the place but most all of you have more knowledge of this game and next year's so I thought I would give it a shot.

Thanks

Yeah but they might flip/flop Hughes and Joba in Spring training. At least that's what I would do.

[Knight165]

Re: Knights End of Season Set

Itw;

I'm not sure what to do with Joba.....but I think I'll leave him as a starter.

andrew;
I'm not sure. I do want to do one with the pitch edits from Razr and all the stances/motions from Strut......it'll be a little down the line.

devilsjaw;
I'll be setting the lineups/rotations as per the most used be each team...but I'm not going to go to any GREAT lengths to fix lineups. I'm going with SCEA's rating on their players for the most part. Helton is a relatively easy fix that doesn't really effect much....I'll check through them.

jt;
I don't know...I hope the potential rating will be editable...but I've got no advanced knowledge on this.

Thanks to all of you guys for the support. It's much appreciated.
I might need an extra day or two. It's 11:00PM now...and I'll work until about 1:00AM tonight. I've got work tomorrow and Saturday....I'm going to try and get some done...but Friday-Saturday are pretty busy.
I've got the Rays,Tigers, WS,Twins, Royals, Mariners and Rangers to clean up(meaning their secondary prospect and fill in players....it's the pitchers that take so friggin' long(tracking down their pitches/speeds/breaks....grrrr..) and their seems to be a ton I left to clean up) It'll get done though!

I'm going to go with the most games played MLB level to set up the 25 man rosters.(most appearances for pitchers)

I'm thinking...
A.L. teams....
10 pitchers(5SP-1LR-2MR-1SU-1CL)
15 position players


N.L. teams....
11 pitchers(5SP-1/2 LR-2/3MR-1SU-1CL)
14 position players

I'll post where I'm at after 1AM.

Re: Knights End of Season Set

Knight will major league players have their attributes/ratings updated to their 2009 performance?

No.
I'm not trying to recreate the 2009 season.

Re: Knights End of Season Set

So where ya at, lol. I've been longing for these rosters for so long lol. I'm so anxious.

[Knight165]

Re: Knights End of Season Set

I've got about 50-55 players scattered through 6 A.L. teams that need to be done.(this is the effect of trying to race through originally, to try and get out a workable early set .....My normal work method is to go through an entire team top to bottom before I move on)

I'll be bringing my work TO work with me.
