Re: Franchise Fidelity to Reality Roster Project (Official Thread)

With the ETA being Friday, are you planning on seeing what changes come with the SDS roster update coming out Friday as well? Or do you plan to ignore that update altogether to get your roster out ASAP?

Thanks again for all the hard work on this! Excited to check it out and start my franchise.

Ignore lol. Nothing SDS does with their rosters interests me tbh. They can't even be bothered to put up new/fun pictures on the playing cards every year. Almost everybody is a boring standing shot in the new uniform

Re: Franchise Fidelity to Reality Roster Project (Official Thread)

Just my view, but where is it written that we need to play the game as it is played today, with SP's only allowed to pitch 4-5, rarely 6 innings? Why? Is this better than in the recent past? To me it's called "overmanaging", I would prefer my SP to go at least 7 innings on a regular basis, game story dictating, especially in a video game. If I start seeing SP's stamina ratings in the low 70's, across the board, I will not like this. I'd like to see 25 pitchers that throw 200's. This is the game of baseball, just because the "game" is played differently now, do we have to conform to that? Just wondering if that is the goal you guys are trying to duplicate. Carry on.

Tbh w/ you, it says it right in the title of the project lol


Hate to break it to you, but a ton of guys are gonna be in the low 70s, w/ some guys in the low 50s. The purpose of this project is to replicate reality. That means heavy use of the bullpens.


Now you came in here pretty aggressive, and I'm not quite sure why. If you want an arcade style of experience, this very much isn't the roster for you. And that's fine. You make your own experience. But be respectful to all of us who want a realistic experience

Re: Franchise Fidelity to Reality Roster Project (Official Thread)

As far as stamina goes, if there are any pitchers who's rating doesn't match how I believe they will be used, I have started to trade 1 point for stamina for 1 point of durability. So if a guy who projects to start has a stamina rating of 45, I can raise it 20 points or however much I want, but I would decrease his durability by 20 points as well. I believe Armor & Sword came up with that but I am not 100% certain. It creates a cool risk vs reward scenario when stretching guys out.

Anyway that's sort of off topic, just a suggestion for anyone who wants higher stamina but also wants to keep things somewhat close to today's game.

Excited to check out the roster when it comes out!

Nah not off topic at all. Kinda like this suggestion, thanks!


Can also do it in reverse, theoretically. So guys who have injury problems as starters become more durable as relievers. Definitely some good ideas.

Be a little careful with stamina for starting pitchers. Most are quite capable of throwing 100 pitches (that’s why they are starters), but only pitch 5 innings because of manager’s decision and the whole “only 2 times through the order” mentality

There's a reason for this though. Most pitcher's cannot maintain there "stuff" deep enough into outings to be successful a 3rd time through the order. Therefore, pitchers w/ higher stamina will stand out more and be more coveted

Appreciate the love...but again I can't take full credit for it....I think I read it in A&S's slider thread.

Durability for pitchers is rated kind of weird anyway. It seems like they give RP's higher durability than SP's so it does sort of make sense

Durabilities have been adjust across the board for my ratings

How will you be editing speed ratings? Stat cast sprint speed I assume?

Are you able to edit the facial hair? Any player like Josh Donaldson with a beard on the Yankees for example shouldn’t exist.

You guys are coming up with great ideas, and the execution of this roster set is something to look forward to.

Re: Franchise Fidelity to Reality Roster Project (Official Thread)

One other thing I noticed in your NL Central preview is that the position column for the Pirates hitters all say numbers instead of actual positions. Not sure if that needs to be corrected on your spreadsheet before uploading to the vault or if its independent.
