Looks like create a player is a lot different this year

Notice now their is a bar at the bottom instead of the rectangle thing??

much easier this year it seems to copy and paste templates with videos.

However is it going to effect importing players from 17 to 18?

It seems their is a number value you put in rather then having to estimate when you transfer player to player from a picture

It means on here we can share number values of created players rather then just taking videos so we can literately share a created player on here by text this year, and have it 100% more accurate. then looking at a guideline rectangle

I love this. Anytime they can assign a numerical value, I'm all for.

It's gonna be so much better isn't it?? now when I am halfway through a franchise and need a player created in the game, I can write down the values rather then take pictures and videos of created players. and we can also share them on here.

I think this year for OSFM is going to be the most exciting year ever for it, and this cuts down on time when transferring players, when having exact values.

1) Start a franchise with roster control on.
2) Transfer franchise over to new game.
3) Export players from franchise to roster.
4) Upload to vault for others to enjoy!
5) Profit?

yes and no... you still have to spend quite a bit of time exporting every individual player and then importing them in. (would still save you 300 hours of work.)

as for the free agents the biggest pain here is you can't export them unless they are on a team, keep in mind about 200 players that are free agents will be on the legends slot as well. so you would have to sign them to a team before you could export them.

Also note you can only export or need to export created players NOT in the game. and keep in mind that players that won't be in MLB 18 will turn generic, which means you gotta edit their name and likeness to how it should be, but they will become exportable thankfully.

For example Tim Lincecum will turn into Bill Chang. and his look will turn to nothing like him. but his stats and equipment will remain.

And remember, there will probably be a handful that aren't exportable. For instance, last year the Orioles Paul Janish & Brian Matusz were among those.

Yep that can happen I think the year before that Matt Joyce and Beisle suffered that same fate they were on the roster on carry over saves but missing from the default roster (so they were actually in the game locked on the disk just were not showing in the default roster so couldn't be exported)
