Wanting to Try and Create a Roster for MLB 21:The Show.

[baseballrosters]

I have taken some time to look at the vault and WOW, so much incredible roster work.
I am new to roster creation, and I really wonder who created all these players.

Truly astounding !!
I am seeing some 1980s and 1990s rosters with full teams. How is this possible to create?

My favorite time of baseball is the early-2000s. So, I am going to attempt to create a full roster for the 2001 season.
Any advice, help, or guidance is appreciated from the Roster Creator Vets.

Thank You, Guys.

My only real suggestion is to look into using JTommy67's Roster Building Utility (RBU) for creating player ratings ...... many of us use it and it is an exceptional tool in my opinion.

Always take advantage of what's already been created and then put your personal touch to it or use it as it is.

PJSnell10 has a 2001 Roster already in the vault and his work is exceptional.

Good Luck and ask for guidance at any time as there are many Great Roster makers around that are also Great Guys willing to share their experiences.

Thank You, Don.
Do any of the RBU ratings need to be tweaked from default ?
And pitch data, is Mr. Snell's 2001 ROSTER accurate ?

RBU ratings need zero tweaking. I really like using his tool because it totally eliminates any "bias" being involved and is dominantly based on a specific season's performance although he does allow for some personal customization in his earlier versions of his RBU but not sure if still present in his most recent versions (I use an earlier version of the RBU and still use the same today to maintain consistency across all my rosters so they are 100% interchangeable).

I haven't dived deeply into checking PJSnell's specific ratings but from an overview perspective, they appear fine to me. I do enjoy playing with his rosters as they seem to play out very realistically for me --- although, I solely play/watch in cpu vs cpu mode.

Finally getting back into this game after a long time away. Glad this forum is still going strong. Where can I find this RBU? I saw a thread on Page 2, but that link is not working anymore.

PM me your email address and I will authorize you to grab it from my dropbox account. Otherwise PM jtommy67 on this forum and he will direct you to his latest version. IT WILL BE WORTH IT !!!

Feel free to check out my 2001 roster as a base if you like. Pitcher repertoire was taken from fangraphs, so everyone throws the proper pitches and pitch speeds. Stances and wind ups should be correct. The ratings will play out very well also, I spent a lot of time on those. They are based a on a system that I've been using and tweaking for the last 10 years.



Many faces could use updates, and some AAA/part time MLB players could be added. It is ready to go if you want play a season though.

Thank you for your guidance.
Are you interested in working together to create a 80-90 man roster file ?

I'm more of a 30 man roster guy, not into the full minors. If you look around the vault many of the players you would need for that may be on other rosters though. May cut down on the time. Also with the PS5 coming out, we may have to re make everything for the next console anyway.

"Re-make everything" .... Are you telling me that people will actually spend 1,000s' of hours doing all that work, Again !!

Why not 90 ? Your rosters are excellent, btw. I know I don't know all that much, but I am learning slowly.

That's the dilemma a lot of the roster makers are facing with the move from 4 to the 5. With yesterday's news, that's what it is starting to look like.

yep.
old days (ps3) we had to remake everything each year. It sucked, and seems like its about to suck again.

But, why would rosters not transfer ?

Rosters (likely) won't transfer because the way we were previously able to export/import players was through a year-to-year franchise file. With this feature removed, CAPs made before MLB21 are likely dead.

I have been doing this the past week and let me tell you it's a complete utter pain and nightmare the way the system is designed to do this

Biggest problem is you can't move players around from Class A. so you gotta move them to AA then you swap players. then you can't sort the free agents so you scroll down forever finding who you are looking for. then the game will whinge about your lineups and rosters not being right so you gotta move that guy you just added off the 40 man (if he isn't) to wherever it is. if you let CPU auto fix it completely royalty messes your lineups and rotations, you can't edit free agents either they have to be on a team. you also have to let the CPU auto fix a roster if you moved the starting pitcher from the rotation and moved him!! because the lineups wont fill that empty spot only the auto cpu can do it. so then it screws your lineups and you spend another 30 mins fixing it again.

and all teams have to be at 90 players at a time. which means you MUST move a player with another.

this is the WORST and I mean WORST roster system on any sports game on the way you move players around. it wastes hours of time to get around things. an utter pain. and it hasn't changed in the 10 years I have bought the show. they gotta change this for ps5

mlb had a ton of transactions today and I am telling you that is 2 to 3 hours of work because of this design. it's a major pain and hard.
