    Re: DM's Fictional Player Generator

    I don't know if anyone has made a roster with this program yet, probably not as DM updates it every other day . Not saying thats a bad thing by any means, he's trying to make it as good as possible and we all appreciate that!

    I can say that the playing around with it that i have done, the OS Fictional 2013 rosters will be made with this program!

    Oh and dpc134 have you tried the OS Fictional Roster 2012? Even if you don't want to use it completely, it would be a great base to start from.

      Yes - those are the rosters that i am using as my base. I updated a bunch of players and I am now in process of editing their ratings. I know the set plays pretty solid as is, but I am a junky for realistic-type stats and I am thinking that DM's generator may get me realistic numbers with the "unknown" or "random" player effect. Thanks for all the work you put into the fictional rosters. I cant wait to start my franchise!

            Nice work man. I used to make random players back when I used to play Earl Weaver and MicroLeague Baseball so this and sluggbugg's rosters really take me back. I'm able to open the file in OpenOffice but can't use F9 to randomize. But a quick close of the spreadsheet and a reload does the job.

              Try OpenOffice, free to download and easy to use.

                  Made a small update to the generator. Details are in the OP.

                    I got microsoft 2000 and I don't have the disk so I don't know if there's any sites to get the files. If any one knows were to download it could you post it?

                      Just updated again. Implemented Knuckleball pitchers, and also age now has a detrimental effect on several ratings. No more super fast 40 year olds. More details in OP.

                        Thanks you for all your work on this! This is a great tool, and should really help out. I do, however; have one question:

                        Do you (or does anyone) know what the OpenOffice equivalent of the F9 key is? Presently, I have to open and close OO in order to re-generate a roster. Not the most elegant method, and surely not as designed. Any helpful folks out there with the answer, I would be very appreciative. Thanks!

                        And thanks again to DeathMetal! This is a phenomenal tool!

                          Wow! Just answered my own question! Google is my friend!

                          It's <ctrl>+<shift>+F9 for those with OO.

                          Thanks again!

                            I actually updated this for myself, I added the new player accessories for this years game. I just need to clean it up a bit first then I'll add it to the first post, I wasn't planning on releasing this to the public so it's a bit messy.

                                Thanks! getting it now!

                                (I was going to add the new stuff myself, but I see you write code kind of like I do: no comments! I would have figured it out, but now I don't have to! Thanks!)
