MLB 2012 - 1996 Classic Roster Project

Re: MLB 2012 - 1996 Classic Roster Project

You have Eddie Murray listed as DH for both the O's and the Indians. If you don't pick a discrete point in time (e.g. Opening Day) you will continue to run into this problem.

I caught it as soon as I started on Cleveland. It was fixed quickly and without problems. Should be the only duplicate. Murray was placed on Cleveland in the end due to starting the season there and playing over 80 games there.

I'm looking forward to trying these out. If you're taking on any help, more than happy to offer it. I wanted to do this but it would likely take me forever to complete it.

Yeah, that sounds great man. I don't know off of the top of my head what you could start with, but if you can think of anything, I'm all ears! I appreciate the offer.

Looks great. Growing up in WA during the Mariners hey day is something I will never forget.

Looking forward to the release. Is the Kingdome in the game?

For sure. Everyone I knew embraced Mariner Mania back then, and that was in North Dakota!

As for the Kingdome, it sadly is not in the game. By the way, I plan to put out a 4 team preview in the next day or so, including the Mariners complete team.

Re: MLB 2012 - 1996 Classic Roster Project

As of now, I have Minnesota, Kansas City, and Cleveland finished. I have a strong start on Seattle and plan to finish them around tomorrow afternoon.

After I finish the Mariners, I will put up a small 4 team preview in the vault. It will have a decent variety with the low end Twins and Royals and the big hitting Indians and Mariners. A few other big names will also be scattered around their respective teams as well.

Until then, here's a few more pictures I've snapped from in game (sorry for quality - iPhone)

Hey Baumy, just downloaded your Juan Gonzalez and its very good, are you doing this all yourself or do you have a team helping you. When this is released wouldn't mind trying the Indians out, b/c as a Tiger fan this was the start of some very painful years.

Thanks man.

I'm going at this project solo, but I'll let everyone know if that would change.

As far as Cleveland goes, you are in luck.

I will start again sometime tomorrow, but as of now Minnesota, Kansas City, Seattle, and Cleveland are all complete. I was going to upload it, but Baltimore is so close to being done I just thought I would wait until tomorrow.

I'll post here when it's up.

Re: MLB 2012 - 1996 Classic Roster Project

I just uploaded what I have done under "1996 Season Preview."

Minnesota, Kansas City, Cleveland, Seattle and Baltimore are completed.

I can't seem to get the lineups to stay, so you may have to re-adjust them to your liking.

And before you go off on how much I suck, remember that players who batted .230 lifetime with a season career high of .240 wont have contacts over 45-50. Same with non-sluggers and power ratings.

Other than that, enjoy boys

Unfortunately, I could not find a truly fitting mullet for Johnson. Sad, I know.

I appreciate that man. That's pretty awesome. Hope you like it.

On a side note, I went back and increased the K rating substantially for Hershiser, Wells, Gooden, Appier, and a few other pitchers that I low-balled in that category. It is not in the update, but will be in the next one.

Spoiler

Pitcher creation is nasty

Did you use 25 man rosters or are you going the 40 man route. Will try the Indians tonight.

My contribution will be this one piece of advice:

Don't save over your roster file.

You're welcome

I'm just going the 25 man route for now. No way I could get the full 40 done in a reasonable amount of time.

Thanks, dickdalewood.

Thanks man. If I remember correctly, didn't you do the AL for the 1997 rosters a few years back? That was a great set. I had a lot of fun with that.

Re: MLB 2012 - 1996 Classic Roster Project

yes I did do a 97 set for the show 10. Did most of the NL too,all of the AL.Never actually finished it,lol.Stupid work getting in my way. I kept the game just so I could play with that set.Those were some fun teams in 97.My fav Os team.
