Age may be best way to sort in this blunder. It creates some zones Ovr. was off more.

Hey Guys.... the real contracts issue. I asked the same question a few days ago on a different thread and got a response.

Check this thread:

Long story short, real contracts does not work properly with the way SDS has the franchise set up along with the trade logic and waiver wire with the COM based teams. That's why they default the roster salaries to what you see now. One major error is the way the franchise is handled with the expense, budget etc, having real contracts may give certain teams an SERIOUS amount of money to spend down the road when that is really not the case. For example, I simmed through 3 seasons.. on that 3rd season the Colorado Rockies spent $280 Million that off-season on 3 players. 1 of those players was a 3 year deal worth 55 Million to a 39 year old JA Happ because his morale would not accept less lol. Also... it completely messes up and destroys the trade logic. Computer run teams no longer make trade offers due to salary problems. Every team has salary problems lol I went an entire season without a single transaction made by the comp. No Trades, no waiver wire. In that same 3rd season, Colorado was in last and put 4 Big players with expiring contracts on the block and didnt trade anyone because they got no offers. Funny thing with that.... I ran the same test using the default V1.5 rosters and the Computer traded away all 4 guys for prospects. Rockies actually traded away a few more then that and sent down 3 big contracts to AAA and called up rookies.

Thank you for the awesome detailed response. Seems like I shouldn't even do contracts then... hmm.

Re: TheMonkeyMan23 2018 Roster

Just wanted to add my appreciation to you for all your work and dedication to the community in doing these rosters. Between you and OSFM I can't imagine anyone in the MLBTS community that wouldn't be able to get rosters formatted in the way they want and start a franchise now or a very soon. That is all due to guys like you who are not only tireless but gracious to boot!!!

Re: TheMonkeyMan23 2018 Roster

Monkey Update 24 is Posted!


With over 75 transactions in past 2/3 days there were over 25 players I had on teams who were released. I removed them and added active players instead.


I also edited all teams 25 man roster to reflect what they are at this very moment. 40 Man are also 100% accurate.


Moreover, I went through all teams 40 man and noticed there were 15 or so players with incorrect numbers and now all 40 man numbers are correct (Besides those of which haven't been given official numbers- EX. Trayce Thompson Oakland)


I haven't touched salaries yet and I'm still undecided with the new news that it may affect the long term gameplay.


Enjoy.

Re: TheMonkeyMan23 2018 Roster

First id just like to say...excellent job as always...

Secondly...Are you still planning on replacing all of the legends with current minor league notables not already created/free agents?

Also are you still planning on doing the top 100 prospects with icons?

Much appreciated for all of your tireless work!

Top 100 icons absolutely. I redid Royce Lewis on Minnesota to get his tab in most recent upload. I have a list so I should be getting to that shortly.


And yes if u noticed I removed all legends at this time but FA is a work in progress if u check...As of right now, Most FA were people I created who got released already. I will replace them with extra current players on each team. Ergo, I hope to have 5 or so extra players per team so everyone has a choice. Once FA is complete I'll have a list on here so everyone just look quickly, swap the player they see and want and get back to it. I'd to make it as efficient as possible for everyone. Even though I noticed the game doesn't necessarily organize by overall. I'll try to swap players until FA looks organized. Lol.

Re: TheMonkeyMan23 2018 Roster

Monkey thank you for your hard work! I've downloaded quite a few other rosters from the vault including those that are posted here and I feel like yours are the most accurate. Much appreciated!

Re: TheMonkeyMan23 2018 Roster

Monkey fantastic work on this roster my man! Can’t wait to see what you bring in future updates! As we’ve seen, The Show is kind of quirky when it comes to contracts. But I would still love to see real contracts implemented. Just for even more realism. But it’s your roster, so you do you lol. Good work though! [emoji106]

This argument has been just as easily debunked as it is small sample size. I use real contracts and find no issues.

Re: TheMonkeyMan23 2018 Roster

Do your roster also have accurate starting lineups? Thanks

Re: TheMonkeyMan23 2018 Roster

In all honesty, that's the hardest thing in the world to do for this game....because I can set them all....(which will take me hours)....and if there is a single real life transaction....it goes back to the way it was. So to me there will never be a set time to set lineups....because there is a transaction every hour pretty much (realistically shorter lol). Plus I know the majority of people change lineups to there liking.


Pitching rotations are much quicker. So I always try to make sure the opening day starter is the starter when I make my uploads. So if the game didn't make it such a hassle during every transaction..i would but unfortunately that's not the case.

I'm definitely going to edit it for myself on my own file and test it out....if I notice no issues...i'll gladly upload accurate salaries. I hope it works properly for me lol.

Re: TheMonkeyMan23 2018 Roster

Now that a majority of teams have given numbers to there minor league players....I will be touching over those numbers in the next few days.


Also, I fixed the 2 players I somehow missed to release, Dexture McCall and Tom Wilhelmsen. There releases will reflect on the next upload.

Re: TheMonkeyMan23 2018 Roster

Any way to Create a Ohtani for DH in a player vault or add him to roster or can you have 2 players with the same number on a team??
