2015 OSFM REVISION ROSTER v1 - Released

Re: 2015 OSFM REVISION ROSTER v1 - Released

I've just started my franchise with version 2 and ignore budgets. I assume this shouldn't be a problem with them settings?

Yeah that will fix it. But how do u decide who to sign without stacking a team??

I suppose I just try to be as realistic as possible (which is hard as my baseball knowledge is limited as just getting into the sport).

Will you simulate using v1.2 see how it turns out? Was there some minor adjustments made from v1.2 to 2 other than contracts?

I think contracts is the only difference. I'd see what Willard says though not me lol. If that's the only difference I'm probably gonna go with v1.2 cuz I don't want to have to play with budgets off and basically sign free agents for every team.
Although it would be fun to use a random number generator to decide what team gets a free agent. I'd narrow it down to 3-5 teams and let the app decide who gets Bryce Harper for example.

It can sometimes be hard to restrain from stacking your own team but what I tend to do is ill look at rumored locations for the biggest free agents and then try to sign them for those teams so there's some resemblance of realism and I usually won't sign a big name FA (Jordan Zimmerman or David Price) to a small market team like Kansas City or Cleveland

Re: 2015 OSFM REVISION ROSTER v1 - Released

Okay guys just finished simulated the 2020 season (my final season I'm simming on this franchise save). Remember the simulated slider settings are SP and RP stamina at 0 for both cpu and human. I left manager hook at 5 starting in the 2018 season and found that it does not effect complete game and innings pitched stats. The stamina sliders are what really affects everything pitching stats wise.


From 2015-2017 I was editing all drafted pitchers' potential by -20. From 2018-2020 I was lowering them by -15. I found -20 to be far too high. I'm undecided on -15 still, BUT it's looking like it may be just a tad too much as well (good news imo!) Need to sim more. I MIGHT start a new file and sim starting in 2015 with budgets off and -12 on potential for drafted pitchers. I'm thinking -12 or -13 will be that sweet spot needed.




2020 Team Rankings

BA- Red Sox- .266; Padres(still lol) last with .233
HRs- Cubs- 236; Braves 119 this look okay?
RBIs- Cubs 726; Padres 526
ERA- Nats 2.95; Tigers 4.36 15th ranked Braves had a 3.66 ERA (solid!!)
CGs- Dodgers 22; Tigers 2 (a little high I think right? But only two teams with 20+. 15th ranked had 9 so...)


2020 League Leaders

BA- NL Spencer Kaneko .306 AL Mike Trout .301 (pretty low. I honestly think lowering potential for all pitching prospects already on the roster by -5 will help a lot!)

HR- NL Kris Bryant 54 (I'd lower his potential by -5, and maybe power by -5 on both sides as well. In 2020 he's rated 99/95 on Power.) AL Mike Trout 40


RBI- NL K. Bryant 127 AL Mike Trout 128


SB- NL Spencer Kaneko 57 AL Dalton Pompey 33


OPS- NL A. McCutchen .984 AL M. Trout .993


ERA- NL Steven Matz 2.24 15th 3.02 AL Lucas Giolito 2.10 15th 3.27


CG- NL C. Kershaw 7 AL Dylan Bundy 6


IP- NL C. Kershaw 227.2 15th J. Cueto 207.0 AL Julio Teheran 235.0 15th A. Cobb 206.2


What sticks out?? Good, bad??

Re: 2015 OSFM REVISION ROSTER v1 - Released

Just finished the National League with accurate potentials. I think this roster looks great and ratings will be very accurate going forward for prospects.

Plus, trade values will be much more realistic. A potential players/prospects are only the most elite players in the game now.

B potential players/prospects are rated as either 85 or 80.

C potential players/prospects are rated as either 75 or 70...and so on.

Ratings are based off of Kiley McDaniel prospect FV ratings and the current ratings of each player on this roster.

It looks really good so far.

It all looks pretty good aside from the league leaders in BA, which you pointed out.

I have been fixing the potentials and there is an actual system behind it now. I like the way it looks right now, but I havent been able to test it yet since I havent finished the whole league just yet.

I like the news about manager hook not impacting anything. That takes takes one more factor out of the equation.

Also happy to hear that the potentials for drafted pitchers isnt as bad as I thought it was.

I'm interested in that roster you are editing...check your PM man.



Yeah, I'm glad to see potentials on drafted pitchers aren't as bas as I thought too. Honestly, I think if we put the system you have now with drafted pitchers it'd work great! So a 98 potential would be what? 95? Just round down in increments of 5 maybe? That'd be even easier and quicker to edit.


Through enough testing I think we can find get a perfect roster with a few minor workarounds to get the best possible from this game!

Re: 2015 OSFM REVISION ROSTER v1 - Released

Irish... Just curious when doing then sims were middle relief/setup pitchers still throwing more than 1 inning?

It drives me nuts seeing this when looking at box scores.

Re: 2015 OSFM REVISION ROSTER v1 - Released

just got a couple of questions hopefully you guys can answer for me
as any body played a game with the stamina settings set to 0? I really don't wanna have to keep switching it back and forth.
does ignore budgets cause computer teams to sign big stars? like one team picking up a lot of big expensive stars in one off season?
and does 30 team control turn off GM contracts?
Thanks for any help you can give me !

Just looking at that and it looks a lot better! Set those stamina sliders and sim a couple weeks and look at box scores. They look pretty good to me. I play with RP stamina at 0 as well to help with that during games played.


Found a 13 inning game between the Rockies and Phillies.

Rockies used 8 pitchers and Phillies used 6.

Playing with SP stamina at 0 is hard. You're doing great if u make it through 6ip. RP stamina at 0 is good to play with. Only slider you change back n forth from what I see is SP stamina.

Can't answer your questions about budgets.

Yes, 30 team control turns off GM contracts however you still see your grade etc...

Great to read that!

Yep I have RP stamina at 0 in my playing sliders as well.

What happens if you change the sliders in-game? Do they automatically save or do they just go away once you finish that game?

That would be an easy way to do the sliders each game.

Also, I think SP stamina should be around 2-3 when you play normal games, my only issues is that I do not know who this impacts the pitchers when they rest. Like, I'm not sure if they recover fully for their next start if you completely drain them each time out.

Re: 2015 OSFM REVISION ROSTER v1 - Released

I went through quickly and lowered potential by -5 on all SP only for guys 25 or younger. Running test sim now with that. Will be lowering all drafted SP only this time and by -10 instead of-15.

I won't get to that 2020 year to post results until maybe late tonight or sometime tmrrw.
