Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version”

Hey Ridin thank you as always for the great rosters you and your team put out every year. With the new stance creator this year will you guys only be looking to use that with the prospects? Or will you guys be fixing some guys in the majors like Kris Bryant or Bryce Harper for example??

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version”

I hope this isn't a dumb question..bear with me as I'm rather new to MLBTS...is this roster going to be available for MLBTS16 for the PS3 as well?

BTW> great job on getting these rosters out so quickly..i'm rather embarrassed to say I have trouble just keeping up with transactions let alone a WHOLE ROSTER.

No, it won't be. None of the roster creators are on PS3 so it makes no sense whatsoever for them to consider doing that. There is also no backwards compatibility. An MLB 18 roster can't be used on MLB 16. This roster will be only for '18 and PS4.

You are going to have a difficult time finding a current roster for both an old title and last gen console. You will need to look deep into the forums for that. Even then, you might not find anything.

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version”

I, like I’m sure many others, can’t express my gratitude enough for what the “Ridin Team” (for lack ok a better moniker) does with these roster. Every year they are better and come out faster. Anyone who keeps up with full minors for even one team knows the amount of work that has to take place so what these dedicated guys do is mega impressive. Thank you so much. Kudos!

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version”

Thank you for everything that all of you guys do. If I had the time, I would more than volunteer, but the grownup life just envelops me, so thank you for doing all of this.

I know this probably isn't the spot to request it, but to whomever does the Diamondbacks, could you put my brother, Colin Poche, on the roster? He's likely to start in Double A this year. I know I could create him myself, but it would be awesome to see him actually recognized by the best roster in sports video games

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version”

You guys great! Do you guys use a similar rating scale to the 2017 OS Realism Roster? I found that to be great to really bring out player likeness.

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version”

Cheers gents for the continued incredible work. Honestly not sure I'd consider Franchise mode even playable without the real prospects that you guys put in every year and I doubt I'm alone in that, I don't think SDS realise how much they owe you guys! (genuinely think your team puts more hours and effort into franchise each year than they do)

Will the opening day roster have all the prospects, or will it be mainly just 40 man with the prospects coming in a later version?

OSFM (Operation Sports Full Minors) is always a 90-man roster with all real players. There will never be an OSFM release without real prospects in it.

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version”

Nice to see that you considered my advice of using an universal scale instead of having every creator assigning potentials on their own judgement which created some disparity between teams. Ahead it's a little summary of what i told Ridin in dm and why i came up with the idea. At the bottom is the scale i created (I don't know which one they used).

I've offered my help in previous years with no luck so this year I created a formula/scale that will be of great help for all of you, i know each OSFM team is usually created by a different guy and they tend to assign potential by their own judgement instead of using an universal scale so this way every prospect pot is accurately rated when you compare players from different teams and to prevent biased potentials. This way they all will be in the correct order by their rank and scouting grade and you won't see a lot of overrated pot, the #1 in a given year could be the #15 in another year the same way a bad farm #1 prospect could be the #7 in a great farm. For example in 2017 Gleyber finished as the the top prospect with a 65 grade while in 2015 there were a lot of 70 like Seager or Correa and when you have those players besides someone like Gleyber you can see that they are on a different level. The talent pool is not the same every year.

It also gives realistics potentials by scouts grades not a bunch of 99 because if you check how the top established players are rated there's only three 99 players (Trout, Altuve, Kershaw) and seven 95+ in the entire league and a ⭐️ like Seager is a 92 OVR as almost a finished product on par with his grade. For example Meadows is wrongly a 95 beast in the game and in real life he has a 55 grade which would give him an 86 pot at best which is accurate to how he has produced and middle of the pack when you compare that 55 with a 70 like Seager that really is a 92-95 OVR. Another example is Chance Adams who was and is the Yanks (elite farm) top pitching prospect and was merely a C in the V1 when he should have been at least a B and that wouldn't had happened with this tool. Some will see their potential decrease while others will rise but those changes will be an improvement to the roster accuracy not by bias.

After some research i noticed players 19 or younger that are top 100 tend to make a jump of 10 in their scouting grade the next year etc due to scouts being conservative with unproven high upside prospects until they prove themselves then they give a more aggressive grade which was the case with guys like Amed Rosario, Gleyber Torres and Ronald Acuna among others. They all were ranked low in the top 100 as 19-20 years old (which is impressive for that age) and the next season jumped from 50-55 to 60-65-70 and to the top of the leaderboard.

You guys do an amazing job creating thousands of players but i also know it's such a big job and takes so much time that isn't possible for you to go into the details because people expect the roster as soon as possible and i created this formula so it's easier for all of you to rate players and if everyone goes by the same scale/formula the entire roster will be more accurate and will better replicate real life prospects rankings and their expectancy while at the same time you might have better V1 franchises while also helping you or anyone that had to spend time revising and rerating all the players potentials after receiving the players from their creators plus could mean less updates. I hope it will be of great help.

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version”

I have a few Marlins prospect CAPs that you guys can use that weren't in the most recent OSFM roster. They include Trevor Richards and Jordan Yamamoto...working on a few others as I get time.
