Amazing job on these, to all involved. First, let me thank you for all the hard work that's gone into these rosters.

That said, I wanted to express concern with some of the edits, especially to Red Sox pitchers. Why does Daniel Bard have a curve instead of a changeup? I haven't seen him throw a curve in the majors once.

And Okajima doesn't have a circle change? That's his signature pitch! I see maybe you're using the splitter as a substitute, but his change clearly breaks down and away, and he uses that in addition to the split.

Matsuzaka having a 50-something stamina rating is just wrong. The reason he only lasts until the 5th is because he nibbles so much, so he reaches 100+ pitch count early in the game most of the time. But almost every outing he goes over 100 pitches. If anything he should have normal stamina, and very low control.

Others seem so perfect it's ridiculous. Halladay's set is 100% perfect, IMO. I liked Barry Zito's a lot. But others have me discouraged and thinking I may go back to v.2.1.

Is there any way pitches can be tweaked before v.4? Maybe a thread could be set up for suggestions to tweak pitch edits. Please respond, as if this is not a possibility I'd like to start my 'chise with 2.1. Thanks in advance, and please do not take offense to my comments. I have the utmost respect for everyone who put so much time and effort into this set, I thank you for all your hard work.

Just saying.....you could download V3 and then do some of your own pitch edits....

As a true BoSox fan, I'd love for that too happen...:wink:

Please don't complain about the pitch edits. Razr does a lot of research to edit pitches. Some pitches are changed but they emulate how the actual pitcher pitches in real life. I know that most of us were incredibly satisfied with the edits last year. Don't rain on the parade man.

At least clarityman was making suggestions about how to improve some players with intelligent observations. If you are just going to say "hey this guy's pitches changed!

C'mon what do you think pitch edits are. If you don't like it that is why there is a version 2 and a version 3.

Thanks for the pitch edits Razr! I am getting sooooooo excited. Still waiting for version 4...

Re: MLB '10: The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors V.2

JASnake I was wondering how you go about making your edits for version 4. What attributes do you most often make changes to, and about what percentage of SCEA players would you say you change? Thanks and your work is greatly appreciated.

BIG Thanks to knight & Co. for all your hard work! you guys are making this game 100x better for everyone thanks to these rosters!!

Just a quick question for Strut, do you think your "V.3 update" will be finished tonight? I'm asking this because idk if I should just download the current one now and go from there or just wait for your update THX in advance.

Well of course! But that's not the point.

The point is, the roster makers at OS, and most of the site's members, care about realism and accuracy. As a Red Sox fan, it's disconcerting to think that people will be getting a somewhat inaccurate experience when they play as or against my team. I'm sure a diehard fan of another team would feel the same way!

As I said before, I still really respect pope and Razr for what they've put together here, as using some of the pitchers (like Roy Halladay) is a blast with the edits. I'm just pointing out some issues.

Thanks man.

I don't want my suggestions to come across the wrong way, so it's reassuring to see they're not being interpreted as ungrateful criticism.

I really think the set could benefit from user feedback between v3 and v4, but that's up to the awesome people who have been working on it.

Here's your feedback thread:

It was created by RAZRr right when the game started so that's 3 months worth of possible suggestions and help you could've made.

Hey dude. I use Bahnzo's roster tool and take a true 3 year average of the past 3 full seasons. I do not like the weighted method because it puts too much weight in the last season which could have been a down or anomaly year. I do make slight adjustments if necessary.

This year though I plan on tweaking the ratings to try to emulate this year a little more off of those prepared averages. Vernon Wells and Jose Bautista are the two biggest examples of players who will see large gains. I will also be applying ratings to pitchers for the first time which Razr does not do, like BB/9, HR/9, H/9 etc.

I will not be, however, touching Razr's pitch types / ratings unless asked by Razr. He does a tremendous job with his research and will not in any way manipulate his fine work. Razr if you see something that you might have overlooked send me a PM and Ill adjust.

have these been put up for download yet?? On the Vault at least?

Knight, Dumb of me to ask the same thing. Is the DL the one updated with all of Struts work. If it is I can start the set tonight.

Comon', that thread is from months ago. I didn't even know about it. Cut a guy some slack.

And how can someone offer feedback before the set is released? I'm talking about, looking at the awesome work that has been done, and offering suggestions based on what has been created. That's something that can only be done after the set has been released.

For example, if there are any pitches that could be tweaked on the Mets, I'd like to know about it, but I wouldn't be able to offer that information because I don't watch the Mets very frequently.

I will look into your concerns but he is right. That thread was created for people to offer things like changes in arsenal, signature pitches, things that would fans would know better than a scout on his website so there certainly was a chance for extra info to be presented. Those things can be mentioned before the set is released. Next year just play it safe. Assume that I know absolutely nothing about this stuff and mention it anyway.

EDIT: On Okajima my sources indicate a splitter or forkball and no changeup. On Bard, however, there is a seldom used changeup mentioned and I will get that added. On Daisuke I'll look into that further after bb/9 and things like that are edited for him

Re: MLB '10: The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors V.2

When your sources just say "fastball" without saying 2seam or 4seam how
do you decide which one to use?

C.C. Sabathia, for example, now has a 2seamer not 4. I think the SCEA
version had him throwing a pretty streight 4seamer. Haven't gone back to
older roster to verify this, just by memory.

These rosters are absolutely amazing. Playing 30 team control playing
the Yankees. I turned off injuries and skipped Spring Training then
turned injuries back on so I'd still have the same players for opening day.

So how do you decide?

Thanks for the hard work.

Bob

The sources that were used usually give some indication as to how fastballs break. For instance they will say the fastball cuts, sinks and in which direction it goes down, etc. and those can be used to determine the pitch type. As you can see hardly anyone's fastball actually goes straight.

Hey guys....Great Job on the pitch edits!

Just curious...How did you come up with the stamina ratings for guy like ublado jiminez at 81 stamina? He throws 120 pitches with ease. Just wondered why it wouldn't be higher? thanks.

Stamina wasn't based on pitch count. It was based on this formula that Rod_Carew29 allowed me to use.

My formula:

for starters, I take their total innngs, divide by the number of game starts and add 10. If the guy has any complete games, I add 5 for each one.

So...

you have a guy who pitched 175.2 innings, 30 starts with 1 complete game

175.2 divided by 30 = 5.8 (which is 5.8 innings per start) + 10 = 6.8, which will become 68 (for our use) + 5 (for the complete game) = 73
