    I just played a "check things out" game with the Cubbies vs. the Mets and I just put on my punch list to check out his stance.
    Also....with Ryno....was his hair black or dark brown?
    Odd...but in some pics it looks brown...others like it was black.

    I think it's more of a real dark drown, but like you said in a lot of photos it looks almost black.

      If they don't add in custom franchise setup for '17....I think next year will be a greatest team set.
      That was a great set no one has touched it or anything close in terms of that era since.

      And of course they aren't adding "custom franchise setup". You know better.

I feel it would be better if I did it for my use and save people the displeasure of using a roster from a rookie roster maker who has never done anything advanced like that before.

        WGAF about all the haters out there....don't even stress on that.

        Exactly. Even when a roster is a perfect as can be, there are stll going to be complainers.

        I haven't given up hope. Maybe not on 17 but if it's not in there by 18 or 19, then I may throw in the towel.
        (As far as hoping for custom franchise, not for the game itself )
        T-BONE.

        Talking about things nobody cares.

          When it comes to roster making though, I'm scared that even the most experienced roster makers like the ones here at Operation Sports will hate my work. Anyways I decided I will release it to the public once Knight's full version is released, and I get the full minors and renaming the John Doe portion done and when I learn how to release my work.
          Also, is there a website where I can learn the opening day minor league rosters, or at least see a way to determine who might've been in the minor leagues at the beginning of the new season? Baseball Reference might be the best bet, but how would I determine every player who was in the minors at the beginning of the season. Thanks.

            Re: Turn Back the Clock: 1985

            I am in the process of creating a 2012 roster, and I was just wondering what team do you generally put a player on who was traded mid season?
            Also, thank you for all the work you guys put into making realistic rosters. Keep up the great work!

            Thanks

                  The player rosters for older seasons is tough.
                  Like you said....BR is probably your best bet.....I'd say go to the season menu.....then to the team and you'll have to check the game logs for each player and see when they played their first game. Not the most exact(I think it's only if they actually played that it's listed)....but you'll get close.

                  ....and nobody from here on O.S. that creates rosters will knock you down for you efforts. This is pretty supportive group of guys here in the roster section.

                  I have two methods.
                  Majority of games played if it's a significantly larger number for one team.
                  If it's close...whoever they started with.
                  Baseball reference will list the teams in order for that season that they played for when you click on the player name to see season stats. It will also list number of games played for each and the season total.

                    Will this roster have Brad(ley) Lesley (played for Brewers in '85)? I feel like I want to do Blackout Gatling from Little Big League.

                      The Brewers are a completed team and yes...Brad Lesley is on the roster as a RP.
                      Is there something specific about him I should know?!

                          It's simple bud---you can either make it a beginning of the season roster, or an end of the year roster (Yuck). No reason making a hybrid thats unrealistic on both fronts in my opinion. Opening Day all the way.

                            Yeah, I was just curious to see what experienced roster creators did (this is my first attempt at creating a full roster). But I did decide to just put them on whatever team they started the season on, it just makes more sense to me.

                                Yes....it will be 2000.
                                Watching Piazza get inducted got me thinking in that direction.

                                Working on the California Angels right now on the 1985 set.
                                I'll then do the White Sox and give you guys a post season version.
