MLB 14 The Show OSFM Hybrid Roster - V1 Release

Re: MLB 14 The Show OSFM Hybrid Roster - V1 Release

Do you think this also means the draftees and prospects as they develop will be not as likely to be "too good" for the roster?

I realize it can't be helped, but perhaps the complete edits have alleviated the possibilities some.

It is possible, but in the past it has still played well the next season - depends on how you use your training also

So for V.2 are all pitch edits entered for all pitchers jeezy had listed or were some left out?

All

I don't think anyone responded to this earlier so I just wanted to quote it again to make sure you guys saw it.

Did you guys expect this to happen and are you happy that it does? Personally I kind of like it as it means that not every 34-35 year old on your team is going to majorly decline.

Howard was projected around there, but you could test again and have him bomb the next time. Just the way the game works

I did see the same thing, Adam Dunn increased all his attributes by 8 in the first season I simmed. I'm not sure if there is a solution. It seems that most overalls were reduced during the re-rate process. As a result, the game is interpreting a 60-something Overall with B potential, and moving him up closer to his potential rating, despite being on the wrong side of 30.

A possible solution could be reducing the potentials of the old, over-the-hill guys, by my understanding is that future draft classes are based on the players who retire.

Think of last year - old players took big big nose dives the first season and useless in year 2. This way the player still gets a bit better and also doesn't retire early

Yeah this is what I was talking about earlier when I sim ahead to the future the prospects are too good they need their potentials edited because I think a lot of them get a huge increase to their potentials when they are tearing up the minors in the franchise and others like polanco taveras russell need to be scaled back some because they start out way too high above machado and puig. Its not that big of a deal to me because I noticed no one really responded to my first message so if only a couple of us are having the "potential" problem I will let it rest.

We could look at them. We didn't touch potentials much of OSFM players and only tweaked MLB players

Yeah this might do it. The only problem is with a lower potential and higher age, overalls drop like flies. For example, when I did a test franchise with my Astros with the OSFM V2 rosters, Scott Feldman's overall decreased quite a bit. It kinda sucked since he's been a great pitcher this year.

Guys like that you may want to bump a bit

Did the Phillies get any updates in the newest version? Mainly Utley.

Utley got love

he also said that depended on some things getting done...I just want to start my franchise with pitch edits...I am one of the few that doesn't care about the stats at the end of the year and how they sim

Re: MLB 14 The Show OSFM Hybrid Roster - V1 Release

Not a big deal really but for the Red sox both Rubby De La Rosa and Brandon Workman need to be changed to SP. Both have not made a relief appearance this year and only starts. Also Drake Britton needs to be changed to a RP since he has not made a single start this year in AAA. Just thought i'd mention these for either the Hybrid guys or the people who want to change it themselves like I have been doing.

1 pitcher got updated - and only because he is now achieving what was expected of his career.

Normally if we do pitcher edits it is at mid season. I thought about it with the start a handful of guys have had, but as a rule pitchers tend to fall back to their norm - which really sucks for us Blue Jays fans. Lol

he also said that depended on some things getting done...I just want to start my franchise with pitch edits...I am one of the few that doesn't care about the stats at the end of the year and how they sim

I understand you just wanted, but after the explosion that happened with the rush to shelf V1, we are going over this puppy with a fine tooth comb

Re: MLB 14 The Show OSFM Hybrid Roster - V1 Release

Thanks Willard on the regular SCEA roster there are 3 guys under 23 with a 96 or higher potential and above 60 overall so they do reach that potential... Trout Fernandez and Harper. Thats a pretty elite group and in this set the number jumps to 9 that doesn't even include Manny and Puig so I just don't see the justification of Polanco Baez Buxton Sano Russell and Braldey having a higher ceiling than those two.

Potentials do have the ability to change also so we need to be mindful of that

Re: MLB 14 The Show OSFM Hybrid Roster - V1 Release

How are the sim stats looking now? Better AVG's and higher HR's & RBI's?

[BlowTheDorks2]

I couldnt find anywhere else to post this, so here i go. Can anyone tell me the contact info Id need for asking the developers a question about live rosters? If not, heres my question if anyone here can answer it for me. Is there a way to go back and download a previous live roster if you happened to miss one?

I am being mindful of that and sorry for harping on it but in my experience while those guys are playing 50-60 rated minor leaguers they get the boost to potential emails a lot and you hardly ever get them for someone in the majors so IMO they should start out with lower potentials and gain the boost when they earn it I think that is the system they are going for. Again its not a big deal its just something I have thought about and always wondered about and been testing over the years and it seems consistent.

I may be wrong here, but in my experience with franchise in the Show it seems like minor league players get potential buffs and nerfs more frequently. Its either the fact that they are in the minors or their ratings aren't high so theres more room for fluctuation, that I'm not sure of. It seems like they also go up and down based on streaks rather than prolonged stats like MLB players do. I've had guys in the MLB get boosts in potential but definitely not as often.

An example was Wily Peralta last year in my Brewers franchise. I believe his potential went up probably to around 85 after his 1st 20 starts because he was lights out. However minor league guys seem to go up or down based on the stats of a month or so.

In my opinion this is how it should be, a guy can fluctuate in the minors, but once he's gotten to the show he kind of stays true to his potential. It's pretty realistic because most guys that get to the majors are who they were when they got called up for most of their career, unless they completely fall apart or just blow up and go off.

Not sure if I'm the only one that's noticed this but its been true in every year I've played the show in my experience.

You are correct I believe you get four emails or eight maybe, sorry if I am wrong for your minor leaguers at the end of every month that has not changed I am positive of that. What I am saying is that sometimes I simulate 5 or 6 years ahead to play with the young guys trained up and when there are that many guys with those high potentials they dominate my franchise because they rarely do bad in the minors so always get the potential boost and are already at 96 potential so I end up with 20 guys rated 96-99 at age 24-25 and these experienced guys like arenado zunino and wacha have no shot at competing with them.

Re: MLB 14 The Show OSFM Hybrid Roster - V1 Release

As previously mentioned, I've started a new thread for my Opening Day backdating project of this Hybrid v2 Roster set.

Don't want to clog up Willard's thread with comments to the OD set so here's the link: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ng-day-v1.html

I'll start the backdating as soon as v2 with the Pitch Edits is released. No ETA as of yet but I hope to have a better picture and timeframe of the backdating once I've seen the latest copy of the roster.
