Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Does anybody know if there is an OSFM based roster with the SCEA live ratings updates (such as improvements in Betts, Gennett, Aguilar, Muncy, etc.)?

Great roster, but noticed you're missing 3 NYY prospects in their top 30, P's Nick Nelson, Trevor Lane, and Garrett Whitlock.

Some teams only had their Top 27, because there really wasn't anyone else on the roster that could be edited due to the cap being reached for player creations.

I only edited players who were considered career minor league players, or guys who were over 26 years of age and not much ceiling.

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Bushido - after looking at three teams I noticed a missing Nathaniel Lowe, Tim Tebow and Buddy Reed. You were talking a mean game with Matt Manning and had me all giddy. Curious if these guys were just fatigued oversight or cognizant omissions. Still in awe with these rosters.

Tim Tebow is a 30 year old in AA. He has no upside and limited ceiling. He was replaced with a legitimate Top 30 prospect.

Nathaniel Lowe is a stud, and should be on there, I'll double check when I turn it on in a few. If not, I will definitely add him. Tampa was one of the teams I was doing at 4 in the morning, so might just be a miss on my part.

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Has anyone made a 40 man out of Busido’s roster?

On a separate note, does OFSM v 3.3 contain updated minor league player ratings similar to Busidos? I’m away from my PS4 so haven’t been able to check for myself. Thanks in advance for any input.

No, also missing tons of prospects, but that's expected because it would mean Ridin would have to take on a completely new roster project. That [bleep] is mentally exhausting.

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

anyone with prospects included that has Ohtani as hitter? i think recent live update from July has Ohtani RF only

He's going back to pitching next season, from my understanding. Unfortunately, we can't just edit a pitcher into an OF, and an OF back to P. I wish that were an option.

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Maybe not a bad idea to import Ohtani as a hitter and have two separate Ohtani's. Utilize them as you may.

Bushido - any other prospects that you missed that you can think of? I saw two of the same SP prospects on NYM. Name escapes me at the moment.

Gerson Bautista, I just saw that. Just changed the duplicate to Eric Hanhold. I know there's a duplicate Blake Perkins (one on the Nats, one on the Royals) I'll fix that too, later on today. If any of you guys see any others, point them out, and I'll fix it and change the duplicate to a missing prospect.

There's a few duplicates on those weird non-MLB teams too, that I didn't notice till after the fact. Long Ball Beasts, Expansion Era Boomers, Mid-Century Groundbreakers. I have no idea why someone put legit prospects on these free-agent teams (Gavin Lux and Adrian Rondon, for example)

Added Nathaniel Lowe (66 OV/80 potential) There's like three Lowe's on Tampa, so that's probably why I didn't catch that, since my brain was registering Lowe already

That's not a bad idea on Ohtani, and I'll do the same with McKay with Tampa.

Also, every team is missing at least 1 or 2 prospects from their Top 30, I believe. But they would be in the back end of the Top 30. Simply because there weren't anymore players that fit my criteria to edit over.

Career minor league caliber (over 26)

I used Austin Dean of the Marlins as an example of someone I would not edit over when I started. He's the No.28 prospect for Miami in the most recent rankings. But when I started this project, he wasn't in their Top 30. He was hitting .425 in AA, and was hitting over .300 in AAA. He was clearly on the rise and going to be called up at some point this year for Miami.

That's an example (best case scenario obviously with that average) of a guy I wasn't going to edit over, just to squeeze in No.28-30 on the Top 30. Most of the time those last guys are international prospects who are super raw, and way, way, way far away from showing up on the MLB blip.

Unfortunately with these trades starting to roll in, and this games stupid trade system, I'll have to replace a few minor league players just to get players on their new teams.

Hope that helps, and makes sense. It's a lot of work for one man, and you can develop tunnel vision in the wee morning hours, sorry.

Ok I get that, but in the recent rankings, Whitlock is now their 11th ranked prospect, http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/news/prospect...x.jsp?c_id=nyy

Not my place to say, but not sure these top 12 international signees for the Yankees are something I'd put in there, when a guy like Whitlock is on fire for the Yanks. Kudos for including Ryder Green and Josh Breaux, who are now in the Yanks top 30 prospects.

I'll be avoiding international and rookies from this year's draft as much as possible to include as many top ranked prospects for all teams in the roster I'm working on ....


I'm thinking the top 10 prospects for each team in A class and other players which we can move between AAA , AA and A to fill out the15 spots in A ...

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Good stuff Bushido. I am looking at getting a franchise started again. I always use complete 30 team control and manage every aspect of day to day operations excluding scouting. Manual injuries and real life transactions are my thing. I also love playing AA games with player lock on a guy I like or if its a stacked team, using fast play and toggle the players I want to use for their ABs. I found a Lowe online and uploaded him along with Tebow and Buddy Reed from OSFM.

Are you using the current OSFM base with draft picks? If so, a lot of these youngins are raking right now. Beer, Groshans, Madrigal, Bart, Gorman to name a few.

It's so hard, when you only have 90 spots, 25 MLB, 25 AAA, 25 AA, and 15 A to have enough top guys. Funny enough Anthony Seigler, Josh Breaux, and Ryder Green, the Yanks top 3 picks, are among the teams top 20 prospects now, which is crazy.

I know I'd love to see Brandon Wagner, and Mandy Alvarez for the Yanks, plus whitlock, the first leads MiLB in HRs, and Alvarez was a Double A All Star, while Whitlock is doing really good for the Yanks High A and Double A teams.

My roster was already finished by the time these updated MLB Top 30 prospects rankings came out. He wasn't ranked in the Yankees Top 30 when I started/finished. I can add him...

And I think adding more team prospects to the free agent and the 3 other teams will allow us all to move players around.



It's the only way I see to be able to include as many top ranked prospects for all teams while still being able to keep MLB, AAA, AA and A as accurate as possible.

Legit prospects on these free agent teams is actually a smart thing to do. You can easily replace any player that you don't want on your team for someone who you do want before you start a Franchise.



That is exactly what I am planning on doing with my roster, adding more top 20 prospects for each team to those 3 teams. It's the only way around the roster limit of 90.
