OSFM for MLB 19

Re: OSFM for MLB 19

haha... good one. You will definitely be getting a download from me. I am terrible at creations but I am willing to help any way I can. If we are serious about doing this then I will pick up the game this year. I can usually get it the Friday before (don't hold me to this. My spot hasn't let me down yet but there are variables to account for) so I can help importing or whatever over the weekend leading up to the Tuesday release. I have never done this before so I will need a quick tutorial on how to do it. Maybe someone with some scouting knowledge can step forward and do some re-ratings to account for this year (preferably no homerism) prospect updates. If we all pull together we could actually maybe wind up having a decent set to hold us over until ridin and the boys can get their set out. I do think we need to give credit to the original creators with the release though since it will be a set based off of all of the work they did last year.

Edit: also I know some of the guys like bacon96 and maybe Houston are still around, and can give us some pointers and insight on how to get these done. If anything this could be a good dry run for next year when Ridin is not going to be doing them anymore, and just maybe we can keep this thing going.

Hey guys! I still play The Show on a regular basis however most of my focus has been shifted to my fictional roster (see in signature) but I can put that on the backburner for a bit in order to help out with again. I worked closely with Ridin, ShowTyme, Houston, etc. in the past so I definitely can provide some advice and CAPs when needed.

Depending how work is going, I may be able to help out with equipment again this year.

OMG - a shrink would have a field day with all the phobias,angst and metal hand wringing that goes on in here. Craniums are busting open because some video game characters don't 100% mimic real life! Love the work guys do on rosters and it does add something to it but...perspective guys...perspective.

Re: OSFM for MLB 19

What do you guys think if we started a go fund me to pay Ridin and the others for their work. Honestly if I had known these wouldn't come out until may or summer I probably wouldn't waste money on Any Baseball game.> OOTP is a sim game and I'm not into it and I love MLB the Show I echo the Dynasty complaints but still I use these rosters for my RTTS experience. its a lot of fun that way. Ridin, I know time is more the issue then Money (and that you do these out of the kindness of your heart) but if we were to fund this would that help get these out any sooner lol. I don't get Why SDS didn't just Hire you?

If they ever started excepting money for these rosters without paying for player likeness, then you could really kiss these rosters goodbye. That's a very slippery slope when you start making money off of a players likeness that you did not pay for the right to do so. The fact that these rosters are free are the only reason they exist and also the reason that games like NCAA no longer exist.

Re: OSFM for MLB 19

Question

If you take the rosters from 18 and move them over to 19 what exactly happens? Is every player still there? Are some taken out and if so which ones.

Never seen what happens when you do this would be curious to know since we could always move the 18 to 19?

Not exactly... it would be classed as a donation. unless you did a EA and put it behind a paywall and said 'won't give you the roster unless you pay me for it' then it is a issue. you can't legally try and sue someone because a person made a 'donation' in support of someone. you technically wouldn't be paying for a item. you are sending a donation. big difference there.

Gaming CEO.

you can't move a roster form 18 to 19. only a franchise file. if you move the franchise file across in carry over saves. players that retired or didn't play in the MLB last year will turn into a generic face and name. which you then would have to edit and fix yourself.

as for how do you use 18 roster in 19. that will be a lot of exporting and importing which I will try and do the majority of on the 26th and 27th.

I see your point man. But OS obviously thought of it as a wide enough gray are they felt the need to send out a cease and desist.

I see it as just paranoia.

There wouldn't be a vault to share rosters with the community if it really did have legal action. if someone really wanted to take legal action are they gonna target every single username ON PSN that created a player likeness?? there isn't just OSFM out there their are copies of it called other names as well in the vault. and their are a million versions of OSFM and there will be again for MLB 19. if they were serious they would do a cease and desist for SDS to remove it from the vault.

Re: OSFM for MLB 19

I briefly saw the "cease and desist" remark. What exactly is the story behind that? Has their been legal action discussed in regard to the OSFM roster sets?


I have been playing The Show for several years now and like many, have always relied on the OSFM roster set, I am forever grateful for the work those guys put in. I am strongly considering beginning a set of my own. I know that is a huge undertaking and obviously would take some time to get a system/method down. I'm hoping I can get a half-decent set done for this season. More importantly, I envision this 2019 season being used as a testing ground. I am a software developer and I plan to put that to use.

Long story short, OS sent Ridin and the guys a letter asking them not to use the OS name for their roster sets anymore.

Welcome to the community ckratz. I would recommend getting with ninertraveler and seeing what you can do to help with the CRP roster project that will be based off of last years OSFM and updated. Quite a few guys are already helping to make this a good roster set until Ridin releases theirs, and I am sure any talents you have to contribute would be much appreciated. More strength in numbers, and we are all better off coming together to produce the best roster set possible.

Re: OSFM for MLB 19

Let me clear something up -

As far as I know (and I've talked to Steve) that letter didn't come from OS.

Just a point that hasn't been stated yet.
