Classic Teams - MLB 16

Re: Classic Teams - MLB 16

I have a question. I am an Astros fan and I was wondering why you were using the 2015 Astros for the second version. The 2005 Astros were our first pennant team. I understand it is easier to use the 2015 Astros since the roster isn't that different. I know the 2005 Astros lost the World Series, but they still made it whereas the 2015 team didn't make it. Just wondering. I am fine either way.

They simply fit my criteria. When making these teams, I look at World Series champs, World Series appearances, playoff appearances and/or 90+ win seasons. After this, the other important proviso I'm trying to establish is that I am attempting to incorporate as many great players into these sets as possible. Looking at the 2015 team, I want Altuve and Correa represented in these sets. I'll be putting the '98 Astros in v 3.0 which will be my final complete set. On that '98 team, I'll have both Biggio and Bagwell accounted for on a team that won 102 games. I hope that makes sense.

Will Randy Johnson be on the Astros for 1998? He was not on the team at the beginning, but he was on their playoff roster after being acquired from the Seattle Mariners.

I'll make sure he's there

OK all that's left is to set lineups, check uni numbers and re-rate a handful of teams for v 2.0. Should be done by the weekend or early next week. Just a note: I changed the '65 Twins to the '69 Twins to get Rod Carew in there. I also switched the '99 Diamondbacks to the '07 Diamondbacks.

Yep, that is why I choose the '67 Twins versus the '65 team in the Late '60s roster set was mainly to get Carew in the game.

Take Care,

Re: Classic Teams - MLB 16

Hey just curious what Marlins team u have in mind for version 3 if any yet? If I may offer my two cents, after the two championship teams that u already have in the first two sets, I'm not exactly sure your criteria but 2009, 2006, and 1993 are likely your best bets. 2009 was the Marlins third best season after the two championship years as far as record. 2006 wasn't as good record wise but that was the young team of nobodies that Joe Girardi won manager of the year for after pretty much making them outside contenders. 1993 was the inaugural season as is beloved despite the losing team it produced. For different reasons each of those teams would be fun teams to play with. Sidenote, the 1993 jerseys are in the game, the other 2 are not.

No, I won't be doing a third Marlins team. Not all teams will be replaced in the final base set. Relatively new franchises like Arizona, Colorado and Tampa won't have a third team. As far as inaugural teams, the only reason I put Tampa's inaugural team in v 2.0 is to avoid some player duplication. Also because their successful seasons were produced with the same base of players, especially pitchers, I just used the WS series team of 2008 in v 1.0.

Re: Classic Teams - MLB 16

I downloaded version 1 and I love this set. Great work.

Re: Classic Teams - MLB 16

It'll probably be about another week for v 2.0. Was travelling this weekend and just started coaching my daughter's softball team so not much got done.

Do you have something similar to this set but for 2015?

Sorry. I went from MLB 14 to MLB 16 with this project.

Tried to send it out before on Sendspace but it doesn't work. The PS4 files are tied to user accounts.

Re: Classic Teams - MLB 16

Quick question, will v2 have the teams from v1 in the minor leagues? I'd like to switch out a couple here and there between the two so was just wondering. I always play with classic rosters but haven't played a set with mixed years since Knight's several years ago... I'm itching to do so again!
