Re: **Chicago Cubs *2010* edits**

I'll stay with Theriot (Generic 55) and Lee (his stance), but I didn't catch Marlon Byrd's new stance....did he COMPLETELY change it this year???

...because I thought he stil rested the bat on his shoulder where Generic 24 has the bat waaaay behind and above his head. Hmmm...I need to see this before I change it.

yea he changed it this year, he has a squared stance in real life, in the game they give him an open stance. And the bat placement is almost identical with gen 24

Re: **Chicago Cubs *2010* edits**

Here's the pitch edits I have for now with the avg. speed/control rating/break rating. I generated these with the pitchFX data used in Bahnzo's RosterTools 2010 and also double checked the pitch types on fangraphs.com. These of course are based on last year but I did cut out Z's cutter since he's stated that he won't be using it.

Wow...great info. I wasn't aware of all of is...is SCEA really THAT off in their player-specific pitches??

Your control ratings are a good 20+points than SCEA's on almost every player...why is that??? Just curious how you got all your information, because the pitch speeds look great, but I am a lil' worried about the control / break ratings you have.

Let me know.

Re: **Chicago Cubs *2010* edits**

Why the CRAP does Marmol have eye black!? WTF?

[zippy2212]

Re: **Chicago Cubs *2010* edits**

No kidding. When has he ever worn it? Hopefully they will remove it in this weeks roster update.

Re: **Chicago Cubs *2010* edits**

I can tell you guys re: D.Lee that SCEA did a pretty good job with his batting gloves and bat not needing to be changed as the OP had listed... of course I was only in the dugout (pre-game) ..... ah connections

Re: **Chicago Cubs *2010* edits**

As if Marmol doesn't already look ridiculous enough with his ears touching first and third.

Starlin Castro
Stance: Gary Matthews Jr
Right Sleeve: 3/4
Left Sleeve: 3/4
Right Wristband: Wide
Left Wristband: Wide
Pants: Baggy

His number is 67 in spring, but once he makes the majors it will probably be 19

Re: **Chicago Cubs *2010* edits**

Just thought I let you guys know that I'm working on a roster that includes the Cubs 40 man roster, with a few other prospects thrown in as well.

I will be using the edit off of this thread
*Thanks cc23klaid

I hope to have ready for download by tonight

[zippy2212]

take a look at generic 91 for Lee. Everything is the same as his but it's crouched a little more like his real stance.

[dufflebagboi]

Re: **Chicago Cubs *2010* edits**

Alright the Roster is available for download

the title is Chicago Cubs 2010, it has updated roster, with the cubs full 40 man roster.

I dont know what to do, if i should start my franchise now, or wait till knights/OS roster comes out

[zippy2212]

thanks dufflebagboi. As soon as my home internet is back up I'll check them out.

Re: **Chicago Cubs *2010* edits**

For lee I use a generic one might be 94. It is shannon stewarts stance. That's what I used last year. Its pretty good.

Yep that’s the stance I gave Lee last year as well.

Is generic 91 Shannon Stewart’s stance from last year.

Re: **Chicago Cubs *2010* edits**

I agree with the Running FB for Zambrano because almost all his fastballs have tailing movement with the exception of when he threw his cut fastball last year.

I also give Marmol the Running FB because they all tail towards right handed batters.

Yea, I go back and forth on this one because technically, going off pitch FX data it is a straight 4-seamer but because his release point is so low it gives it the appearance of a running fastball.

Let me know.

As far as the control ratings go. As I said in the original post all of my control and break ratings come from Bahnzo's Roster Tools 2010 program (it's a great program and it's for download in this forum). One thing I'm not positive about though and maybe someone could fill me in a lil on this but how exactly does the "break" rating affect a 4-seam fastball? Knowing what I know about pitch FX, it should determine how much "rise" is on the ball however I'm not sure if SCEA would have thought of/incorporated that into the game. Especially since there's no lil arrows pointing up when you select the 4-seamer.
