I did not realize this could be done with SCEA created players. The bold above I'm referring to in changing handedness. I haven't really checked into this before but I did not know about this. When did SCEA start allowing this for their created players? This years version of the game or before that? Thanks!

I think this year actually. Maybe last year at the earliest. But it is a relatively new thing. I remember screwing up Ryan Ludwick's handedness when I started working on rosters 3 years ago and not being able to fix it scarred me for life.

Thanks for pointing that out.

How this happens is that when editing positions (likely somebody was changing Ellsbury's secondary position from OF to LF because Ellsbury doesn't have anywhere near the arm for RF), scrolling by catcher automatically changes lefty throwers to righties to avoid lefty-throwing catchers. Clearly we should have caught this and changed them back to lefty with whoever was editing the Yankees. Thankfully, Sony has made handedness editable for SCEA players. In years past, a thing like this could have legitimately broken the roster (to use the most over-used term on the forums) because it was impossible to edit after screwing up.

If you find anyone else with an error in handedness, please post it here.



No worries man. I am as disappointed as some of you guys are about reduced 'exotic' secondary positions in this roster, but that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Nothing we can do unfortunately short of re-importing the entire roster which is not something I am upset enough about this issue to do.

On the topic of handedness... In free agents I noticed Josh Wall as L/L. He is R/R I know so minor and I have no idea why I noticed. But just a fyi.

I don't believe it was in 14 version. That was PS3 for me though on 14. But, Like I said, I never even looked into this because I figured it wouldn't even be possible since SCEA has always been strict on not being able to edit their created players. Thanks for letting me know buddy.

Lorne started allowing this in 2014 where we can change this ourselves offline instead of having to wait for them to do it in roster updates. The issue at first was Efren Navarro 1B L-L in 2014 but when you changed him to LF it got all screwed up making him R-R, but everyone else you were able to edit without any issues.

Gotcha. I thought it might not have been allowed until 15 but I didn't even notice we could do this anyhow until WTNY posted about it.

I don't have the time to read through all 25 pages, so excuse me if this has been asked before, but how is it that some players in class A are rated higher than, or the same as proven MLB players? Ex: Alex Young rated the same as Rubby De La Rosa, and better than both Josh Collmenter and Tyler Wagner. He is also rated higher than top prospect Braden Shipley who is dominating at AAA right now.

Could be that Young has better pure stuff pitch wise where the other guys have made it further with better /9 stats which weigh less in overall

How I Use 30 Team Control

Many have asked, and for myself being a guy who in the past only like using single team control, it took some adjustment and playing around to find setting for 30 team control I liked.

1. Set up 2 Profiles, 1 for your team, 1 for CPU teams

2. Profile 1, I set everything up on Manual Control to start the season

3. Profile 2 is a mimic of Profile 1 for Spring Training, then I transfer everything but lineups and 40 man to AUTO, (this way you can move players up and down to your roster through spring training and not lose guys on waivers)

4. Start your franchise - leave CPU trades turned ON (more about this later)

5. Play spring training - no injuries will happen unless you turn on injuries, you can move about 5 players up and down per day, they will use up one of their options but you won't loose them to another team - just make sure you move the player to AAA before taking them off the 40 to make room for your call up

6. At the end of spring training make sure you set your proper 40 man roster, then change Profile 2 to Auto for all categories

7.Every day during the season, scan through proposed trades and veto any bad trades the CPU makes, also sim every game but your teams and then scores will appear on the scoreboards as if they were happening at that time period.

That's about it! (I think)

With which profile do you play during spring training? Profile 1 or 2, and which do u use after spring training?

Willard/WTNY
You guys may want to look look at some of your OF'S
Im using your guys roster (awesome by the way) to make a current 25man and Ive noticed more than a handful of OF'S who throw lefty are throwing righty in Roster
Ellsbury and Gardner come to mind
Just a FYI
Great work again and
Willard you and your family are in mine and my wifes prayers!

On the topic of handedness... In free agents I noticed Josh Wall as L/L. He is R/R I know so minor and I have no idea why I noticed. But just a fyi.

Just finished checking our roster looking for any incorrect handedness issues after seeing these above quoted posts, and it looks like there aren't any other errors aside from Logan Morrison should throw lefty.

So, there's no need to restart a franchise or wait for a new version, you can just change Ellsbury, Gardner, and Morrison.

I'm not sure what happened with Josh Wall but he may have been like that in the roster update we started with since we didn't do much with free agents because they all retire at the end of year 1. Didn't make much sense to waste much effort on them.

I also fixed Kyle Higashioka thanks to a tip from ShowTyme. The Dayan Viciedo exorcism was successful and a clean version (no stats) of Higashioka is in the vault (PSN = KeepChooglin). You can import him in over the tainted version.

After running a quick sim last night, just to see what stats looked like, I have to say wow! Numbers looked great overall and looking over the standings, teams that are dominant in real life are dominant in the sim. The Cubs were unreal, but somehow lost in the NLDS...the curse lives with this roster too! LOL

Re: MLB The Show 16 OSFM HYBRID V1 Roster Available Now

I'm one of the few that need updated rosters when it comes to baseball as well.


Assuming all the guys are named properly, do you think this is something that is "easy to do"?

Also, anyone know the best source for transactions? I am not too worries about 25/40 man rosters, but more-so trades, signings, etc

Re: MLB The Show 16 OSFM HYBRID V1 Roster Available Now

Can you guys tell me what the latest SCEA roster update was used in your roster? So if I wanted to import new guys from the latest live rosters and relate to your ratings, I know where to start?

And I could do the same with guys like Holt, Ackley, etc. in order to recover eligibility, correct?

Thanks for the hard work and providing the community with this!

With which profile do you play during spring training? Profile 1 or 2, and which do u use after spring training?

I switch all teams to Profile 1 during Spring then switch all but my team to Profile 2 at the end

Thank you - my big beef was earlier in the thread people not doing this and looking straight at numbers! Wait til you use the players in game now [emoji3]

It is a lot of work. I think I may take the equipment updated roster and add in transactions. When I do it I cross reference between Baseball America Minor League Transactions and MLB.com Transactions

I believe we used the release the day after OSFM was released. I will warn you of 3 things if doing this - transactions with our roster and a current release won't match up, and you will no longer have the ratings we did to SCEA players. As well importing is a very long and tedious process and if you aren't very careful you can end up losing players along the way.

Hmmm. Ok. Can someone remind me of the pros and cons of importing the SCEA players versus not?

No, you can't simply import in new versions of SCEA players. If it were that easy....

What you'd have to do is re-import the entire roster of created players into a roster that already has Holt, Ackley, etc.. listed with correct secondary positions. Not really worth the effort for a half dozen or so players, imo, when you can work around this easily by editing their primary position from time to time if they're even on your team to begin with. Most of these "utility" players aren't starters anyway.
