    Re: 2025 Franchise Fidelity to Reality Roster Project (Official Thread)

    Does this roster have any equipment and/or stance edits? Or is it just primarily ratings? I’m not able to check it out for a couple more days, but I’m looking forward to it! Appreciate the work!

      I find my hitting more consistent with S&B’s user sliders. I think it’s the solid hits at 4 rather than Armor’s 3, although I notice both sets are at 3 now. But I plan on leaving mine at 4. Other than that the two sets are very similar. I am also getting knocked around by the CPU especially 3rd time through the lineup and/or a low rated reliever which there are a lot of in this year’s game.

        Hey guys, what an amazing effort! Thank you all so much for cranking these out so close to opening day. I used your rosters last season and it was a night-and-day difference that really brough balance to how the game played. Fantastic job to you all and thank you again.

        I have a quick question about 30-team control that I cannot seem to find a definitive answer. As was the case last season, the rosters scramble up a bit after simming spring training. No big issue as I just pop up fangraphs and make the changes, BUT I am curious that if I make the changes to the 29 CPU profile teams and then proceed to set their lineup management to auto, will this just quickly undo all my work once I start simming CPU games? I know I can just keep lineups on manual, but I don't really know what others typically do. Should I still set all the rosters, set to auto, and let the chips fall where they may?

          I've noticed a couple pieces of edited equipment, but I can't attest to how much has or hasn't been.

          Stances/pitching motions no, none seem to have been touched. The stance/motion thread has a Google doc in the head post though, definitely recommend checking it and inputting the edits

            The roster looks very good, many added players that weren’t to on the original rosters.
            Question here, I did notice that the free agents was chock full of all the hall of famers. Will the others teams start picking up these players as the season progresses?
            I would hope not, it would really mess up the reality of the game in itself.

              That is only when you look in the main menu. Every roster is like that.

              When you start a franchise those players are not available.

                These are incredible. Truly amazing work to all involved!

                Question about the added prospects.. were they created or were they made from edited over existing roster players? (I only ask because of the names being hardcoded to the existing player this year. Any edited players, the original players name will remain)

                  I started a franchise and went looking into the free agents just to see who was still left and all the HOF players were there.

                    You must be selecting inactive player as an option when starting a franchise.

                      Thanks for the great rosters! One thing though on the yankees roster there is a 61 overall starting pitcher with a 2 year salary of 28.1 million. Is this an oversight???

                          Lol man I checked so throughly for these this year.

                          It’s always the Yankees who end up with one of these wild contracts. I honestly have no clue what causes it. Last year it happened too.

                          Sorry about that. If you aren’t in franchise you can lower it.

                            Great to see the roster already released! Looking forward to testing it out with some sims.

                            Question about the Mets though. Why are Jonah Tong and Dominic Hamel listed as RPs with low stamina when they have both only ever been projected as starters? Someone like Santucci would be a better fit for RP since that was his original position in college before changing into an SP, especially since he really only has 2 pitches.

                              Fangraphs projects both guys to be bullpen guys by the time they reach their potential/role.

                              We use Fangraphs projections there.
