MLB '10: The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors V.1

Re: MLB '10: The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors V.1

I too like Marte and I have him rated a C/B potential. He should be rated accordingly.

Marte is a D in the set.....I could easily slide him into a B.
I was going to create Poythress as the B...but Marte is a good looking player also.

I understand you guys are in a tough spot due to potential being locked. But if you can find a way to make it work without shortchanging a more deserving player, it'd be great. With FMv1, the Bucs didn't have much after Alvarez, Tabata & Sanchez -- which is mostly accurate -- so having a Marte as a diamond in the rough would be cool.

Can't wait for the finished product!

Curious, is the Jim Edmonds being a rookie thing, going to be fixed now that he is listed through SCEA as a actuall member of the Brewers. His real pic and years of service etc, are accurate. Plus are all the roster moves since opening day going to be updated in this release? Thanks.

Hey Knight...wanted to check in on what potential you had Tanner Scheppers at. I think the overwhelming thought is that he may flame out early due even as a RP to arm injuries but his stuff is really good.

Currently (11 innings, 0.82 ERA, 0.27 WHIP, 19 Ks, 0 BBs in AA)

There is a good chance he comes up this year for the Rangers as a setup type pitcher and could have a Neftali Feliz type impact down the stretch.

Anyway...i would think A potential but very low durability would be perfect for him...maybe he's already listed as such.

They won't be able to use that SCEA created version of Edmonds because the roster they're using was made before SCEA updated him. They'd have to download the latest SCEA updated roster and then redo all they've done up to this point. So no, it won't be fixed now.

The rosters will be accurate to opening day rosters, so no transations following opening day will be there.

Hey Knight,

Have you ever talked to Russell or anyone about making it possible to save individual created players? This way you could load them into an updated version of an SCEA roster?

I know why college players can't be used in video games, but it doesn't seem like that rule would apply to minor league baseball players. They're all professional athletes being paid money. So it just a licensing agreement that's holding up SCEA being able to add full minors themselves? It'd be awesome if this happened. I'd hope they'd hire you to lead that every year if it did.

I'm pretty sure it's an A....I don't know what I have his durability as.
I really hope SCEA puts in another attribute next year...and injury one and leave the durability to only influence a players readiness to play day to day......with the injury on concentrating on his tendency to go down with an injury.

Okay....21 teams down and 9 to go.
I have a super busy week this week, so I'll let you guys know the progress.
You guys will definitely be happy with the results though.....as I finish each team, I sim to the Future game now and look at the results. I love my 1B tandem of Justin Smoak and Ike Davis! (yeah....I didn't move him up to the MLB...I get to use him in the minors.:wink
Even so...Nick Weglarz was the hero in yesterday's run...hitting a homerun in the eighth off of Andrew Cashner(yeah...I used him in relief....it's an ALL-STAR game right!?) to put the World ahead. My PH Dee Gordon made it interesting in the ninth.....tripling with one out...but I couldn't get the tying run across.
Played the game at Shea....Ike Davis looked very nice there.
Stanton homered for USA as well...a monster shot to LF.

Keep you guys posted.

Actually, I have.
I would love the idea of being able to download individual players and inserting them into rosters.
I know it's possible.....and would technically put me out of "business"(hey I CAN play a few games a year! )....but I don't know how interested they were in this.
Believe it or not....I think the pressure from the MLB to lock in a lot of this is pretty strong, silly as it sounds. The MLB is a little oppressive with what it will allow with things being open ended for edit. They probably had to convince them to allow us to be able to be able to edit fake players in the game!
I know they won't allow certain names and nicknames to be in(I see they finally were able to sneak "Dick" in).
This is one of the reasons I don't hold any hope for a custom league feature(for recreating past seasons).

Argh!!! Now you're just teasing us.

I know you're updating all the minor league faces, but how many changes have you made to their ratings? From the sounds of things you've made a ton, judging from the much improved futures game. Also, how many years of simming does it take for top prospects to reach every-day MLB player status (for the ones that pan out, at least)? I'm curious to see how the progression works. With all the training options in franchise mode, I also wonder how involved I'll have to be to make sure my top prospects reach their potential. Thanks again to all for your hard work.

I know on my end its not gonna take that long. Just the in game inputting and some sim runs. A night maybe two and a shot for TD to take a look and QA. Cant speak for Razr though.

Hey Knight I just wanted to thank you for all the work you have put in and time you have spent the last few years to make this game more enjoyable and make dynasty's able to play for a while.

Thank you very much.
It's much appreciated.

Like JaSnake, I don't think Razr will actually take that long for that version.

As far as edits to the minor league guys from v1....yes a lot. Some are very minor, while some are pretty big. I'm going through every player though.
...and true the picks for the Futures Game is a very good indicator of that.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors V.1

FYI I think that all players should have medium builds. I know there are a few players out there small in stature, but upon further review of players like Aaron Hicks, skinny body types have little realism effect on the game. The majority of pro ball players are pretty well developed. I meet with these kids every day and I am wondering what was in their Wheaties that wasnt in mine? I mean these kids these days are literal beasts. I met Slade Heathcott and Jake Marisnick last season and they are both like .2 percent body fat.

Kyle Skipworth is 6'3 and somewhat lanky, but he is nowhere near skinny like he is in the game. Just a little FYI

CHW Jon Gilmore, not John is raking down on the farm.

Cody Overbeck - power needs to be tweaked for the better.

Brandon Tripp needs to be created and added to the Jacksonville Suns (Marlins)
