Operation Sports Full Minors 2012 Roster - Spring Training Edition Available Now

Re: Operation Sports Full Minors 2012 Roster - Spring Training Edition Available Now

v2 - equipment/stance/windup edits
v3 - pitch edits
v4 - ratings edits

These all apply to MLB players, which are left untouched in the base set - the opening day set. Think of the spring training set as a teaser meant to calm the "When is OSFM supposed to come out?" crowd and also for Knight and Ridin' to receive any feedback for stuff that needs correcting/tweaking.

is there an ETA on when v4 will be completed?

In years past it was usually mid-season since it usually included data from the current year, but if whoever ends up doing it (Jason) decides to use 2009-2011 data, it would be out a lot quicker, also depends on the speed of the other versions.

Last year for my own personal set it took me two months to input all of my own ratings, but that included me going to school and work as well as tinkering around with MiLB ratings, pitch edits, and editing my formulas multiple times.

If someone provided me with formula's, I could get it done.

Its all personal preference, I feel like the game is incomplete without the edits, I'm sure others will agree with me in saying that its not SCEA's strong suit, there's a lot of head-scratchers.

I'm sure whoever takes up v4 would finish it much faster than I would, I get sidetracked easily and use really complicated formulas.

Edit:

Scott - I use Bahnzo's roster tool; you can manually enter stats in the minor league section. I take an unweighted three year average from fangraphs, input the splits in the tool, then weight the results 2 to 1 to what SCEA already has for ratings. For Pitchers its much easier since you can download three year totals from fangraphs into excel, input those in the tool and weight the results with SCEA's ratings.
For defense, Fangraphs has fan ratings from Tom Tango's website, filtered to remove bias. Same thing, 2-1 weighted average with SCEA's ratings. There's more stuff I haven't talked about, I can pm you the details.

i completely agree that the game would feel a lil incomplete but it's not make-or-break to me...i would gladly offer to help but i wouldn't know where to start

I'm new to PS3 and the The Show.

Can someone tell me how to download and get the rosters to my game?

Also, is this the most current complete set? Will it have changes to make the Major League rosters accurate as well. (for example, Chris Parmalee should be starting for the Twins)

The most accurate set will be out on Wednesday, most likely.

So since this is the spring training version of the roster, will there be an Opening Day roster as well with all the correct lineups and rotations?

After playing with the ST rosters for a couple days, I cannot express my gratitude to Knight and all of the roster makers!

Looking forward to the O Day rosters (and possible patch) to start my season. Wish I had enough time to get into a full franchise, to utilize all the hard work, but I just don't have the time to worry wether the team travels by bus, or my tv deal, lol!

Thanks again Knight, and the roster "team" for all your hard work. It is much appreciated by all the thousands who use it!

You don't have to worry about stuff like traveling and tv deals and banking. Set all those things to auto. Thats what I do when I play franchise. I mostly just play games and manage the players, set lineups, major and minor league promotions, aquisitions, that sort of thing.
