Re: 1989 Complete Rosters

Re: 1989 Complete Rosters

The 89 roster is on page 8. 90 is on here somewhere, also on Sportsconnect, it's one of the top rated downloads if go on there.

Re: 1989 Complete Rosters

not sure if its yours, but the 1990 roster has some atrociously inflated ratings.

Well, the Bahnzo tools were used I believe using the 3 year splits for all players. Then for a few guys who had career years (using the Bahnzo tool) I set them to exactly what their stats were in 90.

The Bahnzo tool is good, but if your going to rely totally on that, it would really be best to do some combing through the ratings and make some manual edits, so that you dont have guys who never even made an all star team being HOF caliber players with maxed out OVR attribute bars.

Agree.

It is the way.

Re: 1989 Complete Rosters

imo in order to recreate the year-specific season, if dan gladden for instance in 89 hit 50 home runs but never hit over 20 other than that we ARE going to rate him a 99 in contact or power to recreate that season (as doing weighted ratings in bahnzos tool will do to some degree)...dunno if thats what you mean ill look at the ratings some time this week...any that stand out?

Re: 1989 Complete Rosters

I agree with what you're saying because, like you said, you are creating these rosters to be used for a single season. The only players that may be inflated are those (mostly backups) that played a small portion of the season and did well. But if the weighted ratings are used, that should take care of most of them.

I'll also add that if someone DL's a roster and doesn't like some of the ratings, they can always just adjust them to their liking. The other option would be to create their own roster set.

Edit: Meant to add as far as OVR ratings go, a lot of times a player's defense will boost up their OVR rating. If you look at their hitting ratings, they may actually be in the right neighborhood. So OVR a marginal player may be ranked up with a very good hitter, but that doesn't mean they'll perform the same at the plate.

Re: 1989 Complete Rosters

Just wanted to say that I've been playing a lot of Exhibition games with the 89 and 90 rosters to break things up from my 2 franchises I have going. Enjoying both sets a lot, so thanks for the hard work!

Re: 1989 Complete Rosters

Just wanted to give a shout out and say thanks for making the '89' rosters. I had the urge for some baseball and have started a season with the Royals. So far, it's realistic. George Brett is hitting quite a few doubles - which was his type of power. Nice to see Bo Jackson again.

I like how you have most of the players in the stirrup socks of those days, though the editor doesn't allow for the "strips only" type that was common.

Re: 1989 Complete Rosters

I've got about 10 more games in my '89 season, outside of strikeout and walks, most numbers turned out pretty well. If you're using the Royals, you might want to lower the power for Stillwell (20 bombs)and Eisenreich (16 bombs) in my season. Tartabull is around .300, 27 dingers high 90 RBI's, while Bo is at about 270 28 bombs and 105 RBI's. I was very happy with how they turned out.

Re: 1989 Complete Rosters

So how's the rest of your season going? I assume you are using the A's...care to give some stats? I just love seeing updates from people playing with classic rosters.

Re: 1989 Complete Rosters

Still got about 10 more games to go.
Here's a few names to throw out there:

My season Real 89 stats

Ruben Sierra
.332 35 98---------------.306 29 119

George Brett
270 11 68----------------.282 12 80

Bo Jackson
.270 28 105------------.256 32 105

Ken Hrbek
.271 29 84--------------.272 25 84

Ken Griffey Jr.
.252 18 75--------------.264 16 61

Lonnie Smith
.330 25 76--------------.315 21 79

Hubie Brooks
.255 16 67--------------.268 14 70

Howard Johnson
.324 39 92--------------.287 36 101

Barry Bonds
.256 17 63--------------.248 19 58

Kevin Mitchell
.316 29 100------------.291 47 125

Will Clark
.320 22 74--------------.333 23 111

As far as my A's go, the power numbers look pretty on par, but the most of the batting averages are pretty far off. I've only got 4 guys under .280, and three guys (Dave Parker and Henderson, and Ken Phelps???) hitting over .300. Canseco's at .289 37 111, McGwire .296 32 104, Dave Parker .324 23 92. Rickey Henderson's had a fairly crappy year average wise(.253 19 75, 86 SB's). Anyway for the most part, things have been pretty close.
