I just got this game, I know it's a year old, but oh well. What I'd like to have now so that I can get my game "ready" for me to play is updated rosters. Without a shark/X-port, I've got to do all of this manually.Since I can only create 25 "new" players, I've decided to change as many of the fictional players as possible so that I can have deeper rosters of non-fictional players. I do not plan on buying another baseball game for the next few years, so I have to make this one's replay value stretch as far as possible. It would be a great help to me if someone has a roster list document for this game that can be printed. I can do all of this myself, but it would take a lot of time that could be saved if someone else has already done the work and doesn't mind sharing.
My plan is this: Get the original game rosters and determine all non-fictional players. Edit these players to create the current rookie class players who do not appear in the game. (Not just the names, all of their attributes as well, I want them to be realistic) Each year as my franchise grows and new "rookie" classes enter the game, make a list of these new fictional players for a pool that can be edited for future "real" rookies or current minor leagers.
Any documents that anyone could contribute to help me in my project will be greatly appreciated. I realize interest in this game is almost dead with the 2004 crop being released, but I'll make anything I do in connection with it available to anyone else requesting anything similar. Those of us without any means of getting updated rosters into the game other than manually are severely limited compared to the ones who can, so please help if you can. I've spent many hours already collecting information on around 75 players that are not in the game. It takes a lot of time to put together all the stat info and translate that into a realistic player in the game. I've seen a site that had 4-5 player's "game profile" posted, which was great. I'm not sure how they got the information on the pages, but if there's an easy way to extract this from an .xps/.sps file, that would take me a long way towards finishing this project and being able to start my franchise. I'm willing to take any document files containing any roster/player lists of the game as well. Anything that you think might help me, please send to [email protected]
Please don't think I'm lazy and just don't want to do the work myself. I do a lot of work on most every game I play to get the most out of the games for me and this one is no different. This is something I'm doing regardless of how it gets done, I'm just trying to save myself some time so that I can get to playing the game instead of working on it. Thanks for your time.
