Hey all, the long wait is over! Our team is proud to announce the release of the 2018 OSFM Hybrid Roster! First off, please take time to show some love to the members of our team for their contributions in this enormous project:
TheGame8544
pasten29
RedKing22
redsoxfan31
flyer1985
rovert22044
These guys were a tremendous help and my, oh my, that calc is something special (TheGame8544/pasten29).
So, here's the deal with Version 1:
-Entire rerate of every organization, from top to bottom
-Pitch edits and hitting tendencies
-Full 40 man rosters (***60 day DL guys are on...more on this below***)
-All injured players are in A ball
-Default contract values with correct years
-MLB jersey #'s updated via mlbnumbersig as they update
-Transactions are current as of 5/25/18 at noon (includes Hanley DFA)
-MLB 25 man roster is current as of 5/25/18
Some miscellaneous notes:
-Free agents were not touched (with the exception of Zych, Rosenthal, Hanley, Ichiro). Reason being, the CPU never signs these guys and they fade away into retirement in franchise mode. However, I wanted to edit these handful of guys because most users will probably sign these guys.
-Since this roster is 40 man, lineups/rotations are not true to life. They will be jumbled up upon starting franchise.
-We decided to spend our time elsewhere and not waste resources going through FA's and lineups that really have minimal impact on most franchises.
***As I stated above, all 60 day DL guys are on the 40 man roster in this file. I have attached a file for all you franchise guys who want to manually DL these guys. I have noted players who need added to the 40 man roster upon manually DL'ing these players.***
Future versions will be more transaction oriented, with some equipment edits/faces/quality control/ratings updates as we see fit. Not much will change otherwise. I, for one, don't want to be restarting my franchise with each new update. It'll probably be some time before we release a version 2, most likely after the trade deadline, but no ETA.
There you have it fellas! Happy franchising! And again, please take some time to thank the fellas I listed above that helped me in this project. Huge kuddos for all they did.
As always, we value your feedback, so don't hesitate to chime in with any concerns you may have and we'll check it out. We want to make this roster as perfect as Mike Trout!
