Back for the White Sox as usual.

May I offer a suggestion since it is still fairly early? One of the biggest flaws with last years OSFM in my opinion was player's service time and career stats. We were finally given the ability to carry over rosters - lets use that to it's full potential. With that said, we are now 2 games deep with exporting ability... Can we please make sure that players who removed from MLB 15 & 16 but included in the set have their accurate career stats and service times? This is easily accomplished by exporting the replacement player from a cloud saved franchise into the set.

I know it's an absolute PITA to re-create the faces but if we are striving for accuracy this only makes sense. Maybe a few of us can volunteer with helping identify and exporting players into the vault for everyone to use? I would gladly help, but this is not something one person can get done by themselves.

Transferring faces is easily accomplished with pictures of each screen. I did this with both Matt Davidson and Rob Brantly. When Brantly was called up, I didn't even have to worry about importing over the OSFM version because his stats and service time were already 100% accurate.

Accurate service time is also not that hard to accomplish for players removed 3-4 years back. Just more tedious and time consuming.

This absolutely needs to happen, I know a lot of work goes into these rosters I've helped the past couple years but service time and stats need to be important for realism sake. please pay attention to these things if you are doing the rosters. Makes an almost perfect roster perfect

I agree with the service time stuff, but you guys have to remember if you want correct service time some players are still going to be off.

For example. Lets say Jarrod Parker isn't in MLB 16 and you carry him over his service time will be 3.000 in the game, when in actuality it should be 4.000. He still accumulated service time last season while on the MLB DL. If you want correct service time you'll have to simulate a season on 15 with the CPU ROSTER CONTROL. With the roster control on you can't put a player on the DL, so Parker's stats will be wrong regardless, but his service time will be correct, so keep that in mind.

That is true but we can do that as we are creating the carryover version.

I know. I'm just saying stats will still be incorrect for certain players regardless.

If we have a list of guys we need to watch out for, when I oversee the experience players who get taken out of the game being created, I will make sure we sim properly to give proper service time and stats - just need to put them on the DL and sim the season to get them right

But using the CPU Roster Control you can't put players on the DL. Injuries are turned off automatically. Unless I'm,issing something.

Manual injuries maybe?

The workaround I've done for players like this is just focus on the service time and try to prevent stats from ever accumulating. It's still inaccurate in a sense, but I guess my preference would be to have a guy with nothing at all than a guy who has 15 additional HR's over the course of his "career". But that's my opinion. You can generally accomplish this by simulating a week or so at a time with a player that has all attributes to set 0. Teams are then les likely to actually use them in game. I've already done it for Joe Benson (MIN), Lendy Castillo (DET), Argenis Diaz (DET), Onelki Garcia (CHW), Chad Huffman (DET), Zach Phillips (CHW), Vinny Rottino (CHW) in my master roster file only because that's my preference.

Super excited about these, use them every year. They are totally worth waiting for and if I recall correctly they were out about 2 weeks post-release last year which is insanely quick in my mind considering the quality. I'd love to be able to make a donation to the creators, if that's possible.

I just tried this and it does not work with CPU ROSTER CONTROL on unfortunately. injuries are automatically turned off regardless if you have the settings to manuel injuries.

No theres noway to have CPU control on to export players and still have manually injuries or injuries on. By using CPU control it turns budgets, injuries etc off by default. I personally want to have both on CPU CONTROL and do manual injuries placing them on the DL myself etc and edit players as I go along to be able to export them when I get done onto other rosters or MLB 17 but I have tested and tested tis on 15 is there is noway no how we can have both worlds. So u half to decide do u want to use minors for injuries placement and have CPU CONTROL on so u can export players or have injuries on but noway to ever export any players. Keep in mind whatver option u do decide to use once you start you cant change those options unles u make a whole new season/franchise.

Brewers also have a no facial hair policy and there's lots of others I believe that are in that group.

I'm not so sure about the Brewers having a no facial hair policy. Check out all these players with facial hair: http://m.brewers.mlb.com/roster. It's almost every player on the team...

I don't think there is policy for the minor league teams either unless it was implemented for this upcoming season. Looking at minor league pictures of Taylor Jungmann, he's been rocking the Grizzly Adams look for a while. Same with Tim Dillard.
