2015 OSFM REVISION ROSTER v1 - Released

Trying to decide whether I should start over for these. I used them last year and they were phenomenal. The amount of work these guys put into this is insane and much appreciated. So what does one need to be aware of when using these in franchise? What needs to be done to drafted players etc to get these new guys on a level playing field?

Thanks I appreciate that. What about new drafted players? How do we know how to adjust them to get them to mesh with the existing rerates? And what about drafted pitchers with these pitch edits? How do we adjust the new players?

I edit all the draft picks, but essentially lower the ratings to where they should be level wise so they fall into the roster properly.
Under 70 AAA
-65 AA
-60 A

That is my general guide give or take

Do I wait for version 2 for the edited contracts or not? Off work tomorrow and eager to start a franchise... Do you reckon they will be ready by then?

Does anyone plan on making this into a 25 man roster with a breakdown of who to add to the 40 man after Spring Training? Thanks!

Just getting moving today. Was up til 1am doing contracts. Have 9 teams to go. Should be done this morning once I start at it again.

I wasn't sold on contracts at first myself, but after entering them last night it's just another detail to make this roster and game great.

Willard, I started my Pittsburgh Pirates Offline Franchise on Saturday Night and wanted to know, should I wait until the v2 release or should I keep continuing my Pittsburgh Pirates Offline Franchise? What do you recommend? Please let me know. Thanks.

So what's the difference between williard and trotte doing the contracts?

I thought I read somewhere that with accurate contracts, you will have to play with budgets off for them to work correctly? I guess I'm just not seeing the advantage of having the real contracts other than them looking real.

If you are interested in controlling everything, then it is pretty cool to have a realistic free agency period.

If you are just looking to play the games and compete against the CPU, then the first roster released by Willard is great.

It is all just personal preference on how you like to play the game.

v1.2 is perfect minus contracts so it's up to you. V2 will only have contracts added

Totte's version will be backdated to Opening Day where the one I am doing is up to date

I am curious to see how the contracts all play out. I think we ended up decreasing as many if not more than increased.

Re: 2015 OSFM REVISION ROSTER v1 - Released

First of all, thank you so much to all who worked so hard on this. Quick question though, as I am a little confused. I was the 7th person to download v1.2 last night (eager beaver) right as it came out. I started my Red Sox franchise and was a little surprised at the overall ratings. For example, Shane Victorinio is rated like 5th best player on the team or something like that. Similarly, for the AAA team, a D-potential player is rated highest on the AAA team. Just in general, I was very surprised by the overall ratings, which seem to be jumbled up in certain instances. I play on the PS3, so I just want to verify that this isn't a PS3 thing, and that these are the actual ratings. Also want to make sure I'm not missing something.

Also, can someone remind me how to make it so that the lineups don't get all screwed up after simming spring training? I prefer to only control the Red Sox in my franchise, not all 30 teams. Thanks!

A D potential player isn't going to increase much, may even just regress, as he's already at his potential, the players with better potential will increase much more.

As Willard stated before, the overalls don't matter much, the actual ratings in categories matter a lot mute and the way the game calculates overall is a little biased towards certain ratings.

Re: 2015 OSFM REVISION ROSTER v1 - Released

Does anyone have a spreadsheet detailing the ratings system behind this roster?

I tried using this chart...

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?pli=1#gid=4

But a lot of things looked different.



EDIT: If you would rather not share this information, I completely understand that as well. This is mostly just me being curious. The K/9 for pitchers is on a much different scale and I found it to be very interesting how drastic some of the rating adjustments are on this roster. The results are great.

Is V2 ready to download and you said it's perfect so, it's worth downloading and using it, then V1? And, what person uploaded it? Let me know. Thanks!
