Re: Cubs Player Potential Discussion: 2013 OSFM roster

I just wanted to say that I'm planning on using the Cubs as one of my franchise teams after we're done with OSFM. I've been reading up on their farm system and it looks like you guys really have it nailed. I really appreciate all the work you're putting into it to get it as realistic as possible. Kudos!

98 total players on working roster

AAA (29 players)
Lendy Castillo D/D+ (C*)

AA (23 players)
Lendy Castillo C

Just thought you should know that you counted Lendy twice.

Yeah, must have forgot to delete him once I moved him around.

Now looking at him again, do you think a C is ok for him? If so I can just use what's in the game. I might be undervaluing him at a D+. Authentic had him at a C last year.

Re: Cubs Player Potential Discussion: 2013 OSFM roster

So this is how the potentials are spread out for the minor leaguers you have to (re)create for the rosters.

How does that line up with what other teams are going to be putting out for the potentials of their players?

I think "C" potential should be good for Lendy. He should have been pitching at AA last season, he just had to be stashed so the Cubs wouldn't have to give him back to the Phillies. He still projects to be a decent reliever imo.

Re: Cubs Player Potential Discussion: 2013 OSFM roster

Seanjeezy posted potentials for the Mariners.

1 A+
1 A
2 A-
7 B+
5 B
3 B-
13 C+
11 C

Plus a bunch of filler

So maybe I'm stacking up too many C's and some should be dropped to D's.

I'll check out some more potentials of other teams. I downloaded the Red Sox roster that was posted too, but its hard to tell since there were a lot of SCEA made prospects since they played a bit last year in the MLB.

Actually I don't know if I need to change much. Looking at ilstu24's list for the Cards he has 3 A, 12 B, 36 C, 1 D. He also said he thinks you have to have at least 45 pitchers out of the 90.

So maybe with the filler seanjeezy added in his roster it might actually be in line with ours and ilstu24's.

Re: Cubs Player Potential Discussion: 2013 OSFM roster

Im curious how to make a asian guy (Fujikawa)?

The same way you'd make a white guy. Look at pictures of their face and try to replicate their features.

I think one of the "generic" heads is more geared to resemble a man of Asian descent. Cycle through those and go through there. I believe skin tone 3 is generally the best match as well.

EDIT: Szczur/Brenly/Diaz were sent packing to Minor League Camp today. Szczur is assigned to AA Tennessee.

Re: Cubs Player Potential Discussion: 2013 OSFM roster

Bravo! I think those potentials are awesome. You have done a great job here and I think enough guys will get released in the spring to get you close to 90 with that list. I hope you can add the Cuban relief pitcher they just signed. I wouldn't drop anyone in potential given the way the rosters stack up this year to the ones that came with the game. If anything I'd like to see Zych and Soler one tick higher but that is a quibble. (Everyone knows I'm higher on Almora than that but I'm alone for now I think you are doing great work here.

Re: Cubs Player Potential Discussion: 2013 OSFM roster

Someone will make Fujikawa. People have made asian players in the past and they come out pretty good. The problem is his delivery! I'm not good at making faces, but there are people who are doing faces so don't worry about that.

Re: Cubs Player Potential Discussion: 2013 OSFM roster

Are you creating over some of the guys that are already in the game? Like Jackson, Vitters etc.?

Yes, authentic already made them last year so it should be easy to transfer that over and re-rate them.

The players with a potential, then the potential with a * next to them are ones I am considering for re-make. The only one I might not do is Vizcaino, but there might be a big difference between a B+ and A-. I'll have to ask for advice from one of the OSFM rating guys.

Imo I would go with Jackson as a B, could easily be your third best outfielder maybe even second.. Vitters C+ Probably a backup.Vizcaino could go either way. I think he needs a year to prove he is healthy before getting that A- rating. I would probably leave Carpenter and Parker. For Chapman I think he could be a decent bullpen guy. I would say he should probably get a C. Granted he is getting up their in age but he had a decent stint last year. Just my two cents on the roster.

Re: Cubs Player Potential Discussion: 2013 OSFM roster

Well, so for the official OSFM roster none of the SCEA players are to be edited or to be recreated.

If I want I can recreate the players in question and put them on the vault.

So for OSFM those guys will stay as SCEA made them.

Gotchya - I'd definitely be interested in pulling them off of the vault after O.S.F.M. is released.

So now the count is at 2 A/12 B potential players?
