ASB2k5 Xbox Roster update

Re: ASB2k5 Xbox Roster update

Catcatch,

How were you doing the roster for Homerun King? Is there an editor there, or were you just trying to trade players/create players to fill the slots? Man, loved this game too and would love to give it another spin, but I'm such a stickler for accurate rosters.

Yeah I am using the trade players/create players to fill the slots. Its time consuming but I did it before with World Series 2k1 to follow the following 2001 season (note WSB2k1 came out in the summer of 2000). HRK and WSB 2k1 used the same system with WSB 2k1 only having 25 create a player slots.

I did the Yankees and Mets so far. Mets were short 2 more players even after creating Wright and Reyes so I placed retired players or no longer active players (in the minors or majors) on their 5 man minor list to fill out the roster. For the Yankees I created Matsui and Cano the rest of the team was all there. As long as the 25 man roster is accurate I could care less who I stuff on the 5 man inactive roster. What's great is you don't have to control all the teams to keep control of the rosters, which I like.

Re: ASB2k5 Xbox Roster update

jim --- I can't seem to incorporate your franchise/roster into the game. I can see it in my memory option from my main Xbox menu, but there is no option to copy it to my hard drive....only delete it. So the file is there on my mem card, just can't do anything with it. Is there an option in game on one of the screen, because I hunted around and so no recourse there either.

NM...I'm a moron...wasn't on the right icon in the mem copy screen. Thx for all of your hard work.

Re: ASB2k5 Xbox Roster update

You should see two icons. One is the Action Replay card and the other the XBOX. If I remember you click on the Action Replay icon and it will then ask you if you want to COPY. I'll check exactly after I wake up. Oh, I believe when you highlight the AR you will see something like ASB, move to the right and highlight the save file.

Re: ASB2k5 Xbox Roster update

Ya, that's why I edited my message. So with these rosters you can only play as the Washington team I take it. And the other suggestions you made had to do with editing other teams if you want to control them in another season/franchise? Sounds a little like ID2004.

Re: ASB2k5 Xbox Roster update

The game doesnt' allow you to safe a roster prior to a season. That sort of sucks. You have to choose a team then do the roster editing.

Re: ASB2k5 Xbox Roster update

Jim, I am now 47 games into my franchise season having played around 42 of them.

I am 32-15....am really on a roll lately.

I bumped up the dificulty to Hall of Fame.

I went back to 2D cursor as 3D gave me way to many extra base hits.

Any suggestions for K'ing the CPU?, I avergae around 2-3 a game.

Also, where can I check out the coaches calendar for the amatuer draft?....I can't seem to find it.

Awesome job, keep up the great work!

Can you roster edit any and all teams prior to taking it into the season (i.e., more than one)? If so, then it's exactly like ID 04.

You can edit all players, rosters before/during season play. Create new players, etc.
