I create a player and since I suck at faces I use DrSublime's Incredible work and just age the players. I take no credit there. The other faces I copied from older MLB The Shows and they look darn well IMO.
Now...once that's done the hard part begins. I literally start a Franchise and SIM like crazy to get the Career Stats. This requires dedication....Believe me. I have to load,reload,export,import, load and reload to get what I want...and do some workarounds to get the Srvc Time as accurate as possible. It has taken as long as 20+ hrs for just 1 player. Explaining the process would be so confusing...but I am trying to give you some idea of what goes on.
Now...I try to get the Career STATS as perfect as possible but sometines 1 of the stats may be off. For example...Strikeouts are hard to control...and they usually never are correct. The other stats are correct or within 1 or 2 points off. For example...a guys average may be .301 rather than .300. I have realized after TONS of work that it would take improbable amounts of time for the exact numbers. IMO though...these are as perfect as one man's insanity can make them. lol When it comes to ATTRIBUTES...Every player is based on his FINAL SEASON. So...(for example)...dont expect Pedro Martinez to be a 99....he will be based on his year in Philadelphia. All stats have been taken from Passed MLB THE SHOW games and the older player who have never been in those games were taken from other baseball games and tweaked for The Show.
Also...I strived to get CAREER STATS correct....so, the year to year stats were not focused on. This is another thing that would take Forever and a day. These minor flaws do not bother me and I love playing with these guys in Franchise and adding to their Career Numbers. The players mostly only play a year because they are so old but I usually picture it as their Final Season and the Goal is simple...a World Series Championship.
Well...thats about it. I am currently Importing the players from last year's game and fixing anything thats needed like age. I should have them up by this weekend There's a Ton of Players and I'm just 1 man lol. I do this as a hobby because I'm on disability for OCD and also deal with Agoraphobia/Anxiety. Playing games is all I have besides my wife of 14 hrs who has stood by my side despite the hell I live on a day to day basis. Playing MLB and other games keeps my mind off the the intense exposure therapy I do and allows me to sorta feel normal. I love baseball and I hope anyone who downloads these players will enjoy them as much as I do. Below is a list of the players that I am uploading. I am possibly adding a few more depending on the facial work. Also...I don't really take requests because I don't wanna make promises I can't keep...so, usually if a player is added....I do it because I plan on using him myself. Also...I am not a PRO and as great as I think these are....your opinion may differ, so...be nice lol...k? My PSN is below and I will update this thread once I launch all the players by weeks end. Thanks.
