Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Awesome write up! Do you have any suggestions on edits to make to the MLBTS draft picks? Or is it on case to case basis

I never touch potentials, because then that eliminates the chance for busts, or gems. I think it's cool that you will see guys with A potential getting picked in the 2nd or 3rd round, and guys with C potentials in the 1st round. Teams make mistakes and draft busts all the time.

1st round, college aged player = Mid 60's-74 (depends on position, slot, etc)
1st round, high school aged - 60-63 (sometimes as high as 69-70, in those Bryce Harper/Mike Trout types)

The higher the pick, the higher the overall.

So if the 1st pick is an 18 year old, he'll be a 63. If it's college aged, he'll be a 72-74. But if he's a C potential, and a 72-74. Well, you just have to accept the fact that you likely used your 1st pick on a guy who is close to being maxed out, doesn't pan out, etc, it happens, that's baseball.

The architect of the player is basically how you see fit. A utility player isn't going to be drafted (intentionally) high in the 1st round. Teams look for that No.1 or No.2 stuff from pitchers, or players who are power/average combos, or five tool players.

I was having good success doing this in my franchises, before I just got fed up with the minor league/development (or lack of)

Also, if a team picks a RELIEF PITCHER in the first two rounds, I automatically edit him into a starting pitcher for that team. It drives me crazy, that this game will have teams selecting relief pitchers as Top 10 overall picks.

Just use your cell phone, and take pictures of the draft re-cap rounds, so you know who picked who, and in what round. It takes about an hour, hour and a half to do this. It's worth it to me.

I will try to work the elite prospects from the international signing class into this roster. It all depends on who I would have to replace him with. Remember, for every prospect that I add into this game, one real life minor league player is just getting edited into that prospect. So you're essentially losing a real life prospect to gain a better one. I try to eliminate guys who are basically what you would consider 'career minor leaguers', or guys with low ceilings that don't project to be full time big league players.

Love what you’re doing dude! Been dying for a new roster to get my hands on and yours sounds fantastic. Question though: what happened to the team of guys that put together the OSFM rosters? Are they not creating them anymore?

The GOAT's in which you speak of, did all the heavy lifting to give us this template to build off of. None of our hybrid rosters would be possible without their work. They don't need to do anything else, TBH. But they're still around, probably enjoying this game as much as I will in a few more days.


Just finished the Minnesota Twins. Only have the AL West remaining. I don't know what the ETA will be, should take 10 hours total to complete those 5 teams.

Also, added the following international prospects (will do more)
Diego Cartaya (Dodgers)
Orelvis Martinez (Blue Jays)
Noelvi Marte (Mariners)
Osiel Rodriguez (Yankees)
Kevin Alcantara (Yankees)

One more thing, this might be 'controversial', but I added Luke Heimlich to the roster, just in case anyone wants to create some redemption story line with him. He is the dominant left handed pitcher from Oregon State, who has the sex offender label hanging over his head. He's a Top 10 talent (draft wise) if he wasn't a perv.

Hate heimlich and hope he never gets a shot at the majors, but interesting for sure to add to the roster! Great work as always man.

Just a quick update..

I'm on Oakland now, doing the relief pitchers as I type this. Their bullpen is a disaster. Some of their best relief pitchers in their minor league system were rated in the 40's!

Lou Trivinio was a 48, and he's Oakland's second best relief pitcher this season behind their closer, Blake Treinen (who was also underrated.) Trivino's stat line for 2018 with the A's

These will be done either today or tomorrow. I would lean on tomorrow, just because my friend is staying the weekend with me for her birthday weekend. She's not going to let me sit on the PS4 all weekend, working on rosters. She's knocked out right now, so I'm going to try to get as much done as I can.

Hopefully Seattle, Texas, and Houston aren't as rough as Oakland has been

Maybe I missed it and if I did my bad, But what version of OSFM are you using as a base for this roster?


Cant wait for the finished product, thanks for the hard work.

Using Ridin's post-draft version OSFM roster. Where he added all the 1st round picks to their teams.

Just search Bushido Roster, it will be the only one. Right now I have the NL ONLY uploaded in the vault, so people could see what it looks like. I am going to remove that shortly and upload the complete version soon.

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Alright Bushido you sold me. I told myself a while back I was sticking with one roster this year because once I got everything the way I wanted I didn’t want to do it again. I’m ready to start a new franchise and after going back and re-reading all your posts about your roster, you got me pumped for it.

Huge thanks for all your hard work and especially all of your time spent on this. One of these years I’m going to get through an entire season and use the carry over feature, this might make it happen.

The roster is finished and uploaded into my vault

Just search " Bushido Roster " or look me up by user name SCampbell904

If you haven't been keeping tabs..

I used Ridin's post draft OSFM roster as my template. The roster where he included all 2018 first round draft picks. I included every teams first three draft picks, so basically 2nd and 3rd round picks, or in some cases CB/Compensation pick and a 2nd round pick.

Added missing prospects from each teams Top 30 list per MLB.com. On average, every team in this game was missing 15 or more prospects from their Top 30 list.

Re-rated every current minor leaguers based on their 2018 production, updated potentials, etc. Hopefully this counters the games extremely slow progression system. And will give current top prospects a chance to get the Majors, instead of waiting forever for them to get to an acceptable rating.

Created and added the Top 12 international free agents and added them to their MLB team.

THINGS I DID NOT DO

- I did NOT update contracts for every player
- I did NOT move players around from A to AAA, or A to MLB, etc
- I did NOT edit equipment, batting stances, etc
- I did NOT make everyone's country/state for prospects accurate

So if John Doe is from Florida, and was a 2nd round pick. I just selected East Coast, and used whatever was the first state as the default.

Hopefully for the few of you that were waiting on this roster, you enjoy it as much as I will. Much respect to Ridin and his crew for making this roster, so that I could focus on the minor leagues. This took A LOT of time to do, and I have even more respect for roster creators after doing this as a one man show.
