Bacon's Fictional Roster

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

Hey all!

I've been working on a powerpoint to display some details about the roster. This presentation will be available later on but I just wanted to inform that it is currently a work in process.

This is beyond cool. Above and beyond. This roster will have a legacy.

Thanks bud.

That is the plan.

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

If anyone would like to contribute, I need a number of minor league filler or prospect type players and a handful of free agents. If you have a player to insert, send me a PM on here or my PSN (cwebs96) and I'll have you put your CAP in the vault so I can put him on next season's version of Bacon's Fictional Roster!

Thank you again to anyone who has downloaded.

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

Just wanted to say that I skipped this years game just because of how frustrated I've been with the lack of work on Franchise, but it is great to see someone put out what appears to be a great fictional roster. I've always loved them and used them at some point which had me playing The Show all year long. This has made me consider picking up the game cheap just to play with the roster.

I appreciate anyone that puts work into such a roster and then shares it with everyone here. One of the things that makes this site great.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I know I'm a couple days late but this is the first chance I've had to get on OS.

Hey, if you do pick it up, I'm glad I could help SDS make a sale! Enjoy the roster and let me know what you think. It'll be bigger and better next spring than it was when I uploaded it in April.

Try it. Join the family.

Yessir, welcome to the Fictional Family. Send me a PM on here or PSN if there's anything you would like to know about the file.

I have decided that beginning soon, I'll be posting player profiles on this thread and my Instagram for select players on the roster.

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

This may get buried but I still wanted to post that a number of teams have equipment themes going forward.

Bal -
Bos - lots of use of red and some blue
Nyy - lots of use of gray and some navy
TB - heavy use of all 3 team colors (navy, baby blue, yellow)
Tor - blue cleats with some red incorporated as well
Cws - heavy emphasis on white instead of black
Cle - red cleats
Det -
KC - white cleats
Min - usage of all 3 team colors (navy, red, gold)
Laa - heavy usage of red but not required for cleats
Oak - *no longer exclusive to only white cleats*
Sea -
Tex - usage of both team colors (blue and red)
Hou - usage of both team colors (navy and orange)
Atl - usage of both team colors (red and navy)
Mia - *depends on their new uni set* - but I'll likely do mandatory blue cleats
Wsh - use of all 3 team colors (red, navy, gold)
Nym - mandatory blue cleats
Phi - red cleats, lots of red/white
Chc - blue cleats
Cin - mandatory red cleats, more emphasis on black
Mil - lots of use of navy
Pit - much more emphasis on black and yellow
Stl - red cleats
Arz - lots of red and black for all equipment
Col - gray in use on all cleats, heavy emphasis on other equipment
Lad - blue cleats
SD -
SF - black and orange cleats with little/no use of white

For any teams that heavily use black, I'll have their equipment listed as TC1 or TC2 so it changes if/when they change teams.

Each team uses the main four brands in game (Nike, Adidas, UA, New Balance)

Each team has at least one player wearing Stance Socks. I can provide a list for anyone who would like to edit players so they no longer wear them.

There's also at least one player per team with neon yellow or neon green incorporated somewhere in their equipment.
Bal - T.J. Reed Jr, Alexis Moya
Bos - Eric Farmer, Johan Arredondo, Sandy Ramirez
Nyy - Dustin Wise, Orlando Osuna
TB - Blake Dillon, Jonathan Ash, Dexter Ray

Cle - Sal Bautista, Alexis Flores, Squash West
Det - Jaylin Pain, Luis Rojas
KC - Jonathan Snow, Sean Adenheart, D.J. Tucker
Min - Carlos Cruz, Nicholas Woods
Laa - Kevin Wolf
Oak - Bradley Williams, Marshall Kemp, Parker Schmollinger
Sea - Jesus Pena, Robinson Rodriguez, Xavier Bixler
Tex - Reynaldo Vina, Rafael Quinones
Hou - Casey Cain, Drew Larson
Atl - Jorge Aguilera
