    If I am not mistaken if you have the 40 man then advance to season the lineups get jumbled correct? If that is correct i would guess they do the 25 so the lineups "stick". Otherwise you have to reset all the lineups

      Exactly this. Not just lineups jumbled but But the whole roster is jumbled if I'm not mistaken.

        The point isn't really "what's better, 25-man or 40-man?" You guys will all never agree on that; there are pros and cons to each. The point is "what's the least amount of work in converting one option to the other?"

        Most of the time, OSFM releases as a 40-man set because it is frighteningly easy for people to go up and down the rosters and click on everyone not marked as "MLB" and click "remove from 40-man" if they want to get through the preseason without having their lineups altered. Or to just reset the lineups.

        If it releases as a 25-man set, then everyone is asking for a list of players they need to add back to the 40-man roster. Someone has to make that list, then you guys all still have to add them back.

        So, 6 of these? Or half-dozen of those? It's really not a big issue and whatever choice is made, the other version will be created within about 2 hours by someone on OS anyway.

          Its not too hard to create 40 man rosters off the 25 man roster release.

                And that's why you guys are the best!

                Don't always settle borderline ridiculous arguments, but this post I wish I could like a few times.

                  [QUOTE=RidinDwnKingsley;2049272763]“Around the first week of the season”..... when it’s done it’s done

                  My bad. I thought that is what I read on the first comment of the thread.

                  I’m patient. I was lucky to stumble on thread three years ago and I have a deeper love for this game because of what y’all do.

                  No impatience from me... just excitement, like I’m sure all of us do.

                    Are you gonna use the default roster or the roster update today as the base? I don't know how many players got upgrades/downgrades, but Ohtani got a big downgrade in the new update.

                          Ok guys it’s that time of year and I have been getting tons of questions so here we go....

                          As most of you know the OSFM process was started years ago by our good friend Knight. It has evolved and has taken many different processes. Due to changes made within the game and our ability to import and export players it has given us the ability to speed up the way we create this great roster. In the past we would assign each team to individual people and they would turn in their work prior to or right after release. That process worked for some... others not so much. It was great letting everyone do each team but also caused a lot of confusion and chaos as well as ratings being off and diff scales being used. We have changed our process slightly this year but I think when you see the finished product you will all see why.

                          I have been working closely with a team of guys most from OS and some not. These are all guys with a huge passion for our roster and our great game and some are even in minor league organizations and provide insight that proves invaluable. We have already compiled a completely edited roster that is being updated daily with transactions, motion/stance edits, equip edits and much much more. Due to some of the great work done over the last few years the base we have compiled is based on years of work, faces are better than ever. All ages and heights and weights have been adjusted for 2018 version as well. Free agents, missing players and guys we know who have to be created are already done or in the process. So I do wanna thank all of the guys who have put out or edited sets based on OSFM the last few years Showtyme, Willard , Side Effect, WTNY, Aroid, Sammy, Baseball88, BigPoppawilly and everyone who has contributed there are too many to list. The process we have used for this years will eliminate errors and mistakes by up to 50-75% based off past years Versions.

                          So here is how we are gonna do this with this years version....we will release the OSFM “Opening Day Version” around the first week of the MLB 2018 season .Don’t ask what day or what time that’s all your getting..... our goal is to get it out faster and more accurate than ever before and with this process we should be able to. We have a team of guys lined up so once game is released it will be a 24 hr round the clock system of teamwork. You have to realize people have scheduled vacation time and taken days off to be able to do this because of their passion for this so please respect the process and what we do.

                          We will use the new batting stance creator to edit and create stances and have assigned our own person who is reviewing hours and hours of video and taking note upon note so we are ready to dig into that feature.

                          We will accept any work from anyone who has completed teams and incorporate what fits into what we have done. Also once we release the initial opening day version you are all welcome to take that base and add your teams to it or edit it in anyway you want. We will release subsequent versions as the season rolls on as well as always.

                          Please keep the negative comments and complaining to a minimum and be constructive with feedback. Take time to consider the hundreds of hours guys put into this on a year round basis is all I am asking. I usually say this every year because it’s true but this years Version is fat and away the best most complete and accurate Version ever done and will be released probably faster than any set has before. Thanks to Operation Sports for continuing to host this great roster in these forums. If you have any questions or want to contact me to submit players or teams contact me on Twitter.]

                          I just want to thank you guys for the tireless work you put in every year on these rosters. I found them by chance by someone on a Message board that up until today existed but went away without warning and was posting there ever since, I think I started using your rosters in 08 or something? It's been a long time and I can't play MLB The Show without them. I've for the last few yrs started a Road To The Show just for fun while I wait for your rosters and then use your Rosters for my serious RTS. I use to do a full all MLB team season where I made the rosters as realistic as I could with player moves and everyday transactions but given the amount of time it took and now my changed work schedule and semi promotion (For the better) I can no longer do that. I will be playing a Full season this year though. I'm a big Phillies fan in Philly too so it's pretty sweat to see another Phillies fan be doing these rosters every year.

                          Also not sure if any of your team lives in the North East or how they get their games but if they still get a physical copy I didn't pre order mine until yesterday and the guy at GameStop told me there were no midnight releases do to the Nor'Eastern we just had delayed everything. So most stores didn't get their games up here until this morning. I figured I'd point that out for everyone that if some of these guys do get the physical copy and live in the Northeast they couldn't get their copy at Midnight last night and work relentlessly through the night like others. So please be patient as that isn't something these guys can control.

                          I won't be that guy and I hate when people ask you for an ETA of the game. I did enjoy the progress report the guy (I can't remember his name now) who use to be in charge of this made like 60% rosters complete with an ETA date. My only question on the rosters being out is what's the quickest way to see when these come out? Your social media or on here? Again TY guys for everything.
