What happens when you use real contracts in franchise?

Re: OSFM V2.5 40-Man Roster

Are players that are on the 60 day DL and out for the season on the 40 man or not? I always prefer them to be not on the roster. Kyle Schwarber should be on the 40 man since he was injured during the season. But players that are injured before that shouldnt be.

From my experience it blows up franchise mode and make it unplayable. Last year I played a franchise with real contracts, made it all the way to offseason and everything was good. But the end of off season almost every team was - 5/10 million in the hole. Some teams could not even re sign coaches. It was an utter disaster. Will never do it again. Complete waste of time for me. The game is just not set up to work with real salaries.

First, last and only warning. Keep this thread on track. Any more name calling or bashing will be dealt with quickly and permanently. Every one is entitled to their opinions. If they are stated clearly and without trolling or being insulting then all is good. If not, it will not end well.

Re: OSFM V2.5 40-Man Roster

I started a franchise yesterday with the 40 man version of the OSFM 2.2. I had the day off so got quite a few games in. Is it worth re-starting with this roster. What are the big differences between OSFM 2.2 and OSFM 2.5?

I am leaning towards sticking with the franchise I started yesterday, but want to make sure there isn't anything supremely important that I would be missing If I don't update to 2.5.

Thanks for any input

Re: OSFM V2.5 40-Man Roster

Thanks for these Rosters, they look great!

I'm having a problem though - they seem to reset themselves after I sim through spring training, (the rosters and the 4 lineups I set are completely undone!) - is this a problem with how I've loaded them initially? I think I read about this somewhere. I downloaded the roster outside of the Franchise from the vault and then loaded them in when creating the Franchise... I thought this was the correct way. All mode specific options are set to manual... Can't figure it out, though still trying...
Does it reset them when you sim anything, perhaps?

Did you create a second profile for the CPU and put everything on that profile to MANUAL as well and assign that profile to the other 29 teams? If not, then the CPU will take over the teams not assigned this profile and readjust everything. Messing up lineups is unavoidable unless you use two profiles.

Re: OSFM V2.5 40-Man Roster

I just downloaded this roster and set all transactions, roster management, etc to the CPU. I simmed through spring training and about 75 games through the regular season. I looked over the starting lineups and pitching rotations expecting to see a mess only to find very few if any eyebrow raising issues. The speed guys were at the top of the lineups and the power guys were hitting at the 3 or 4 slot. The rotations stayed intact too. I'm going to start over and roll with this roster set and play every game.

The guys who put this masterpiece together did a great job.

Thanks F.... Um.. No.. I just started the Franchise, loaded the Rosters from Saved, selected the team I want to control, and went from there. All fine. Set my 4 lineups, etc. Then when I sim through spring training they're all reset for my team. It's not clear to me what you mean by creating a CPU profile - can you point me in the right direction?

If it is only your lineup you are concerned about you just want to make sure you move the 15 players that you don't want in the MLB down to AAA before you "end spring training". (40 man - 15 = 25 man roster for the regular season). As long as you do that it shouldn't mess with your lineups.

If you are concerned with the computer team lineups getting screwed up you would have to control all 30 teams (setting one profile for your team only and a "computer" profile for the other 29).

Hope that helps!

Yes, just my team, and it does - if I leave the extra 15 the CPU is deciding which to remove and also rebuilding my lineups based on it's selection..? I see... Thanks!

Re: OSFM V2.5 40-Man Roster

I'll probably get hell for this but...
I'll start with this, I am appreciative of everyone who's involved in making these rosters. It is truly a game-changer, but I'm just gonna say what others have to be thinking at this point...
I am so sick of all these false promises with estimated release times. An hour, a day, 2 days, etc...
I may sound like the biggest jerk right now but I don't say this to offend anyone. PackAttack is doing myself a well as everyone else a huge favor with this update so we can finally start our franchise for the last time.(hopefully)
Please don't take this the wrong way and I know, I know. If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all, right? I believe that but with a lot of the rosters, the release times have been delayed and delayed and delayed...
Again, this is not to offend anyone and I don't mind waiting, I just dread getting my hopes up to start my franchise and again, I have to wait till tomorrow.
I can't be alone with feeling this way, and this is no knock on anyone on this forum. Id rather have no eta than one that's not realistic.
I know a lot of users here have busy lives with kids, jobs, spouses, etc. As do I, I only get a small window of time to enjoy this game AND these amazing rosters. But you guys sure know how to work my feelings lol. I've been excited to enjoy this game since the release date and can't truly do that till I begin my franchise with these rosters.
Hopefully I can do that tomorrow, I've only been saying that for the past couple weeks...
Again thank you to everyone involved, this is not an insult of any kind, I just needed to get this off my chest as it's been eating at me. Ok I'm done now.

Finally got a chance to read through the posts that came during the roster work hours and I hope everyone can start up their franchise now!

I definitely understand where you are coming from with this post. My hour or so estimate was way off (or very much on the so side) and I will look to be more conservative with ETAs in the future. After I started working through them, I decided to prioritize accuracy over speed as I wanted everyone to be able to download the roster, make the changes they want and then start their franchise without worrying about fixing my mistakes. With that said, I thank everyone for the support!
