Fake Players

[ozeman]

I know last season we also had a file/spreadsheet/forum of all the fake player names as they were discovered.
Also any players jersey numbers that need fixing.

Can we get this up and running again for 2k12?

cheers

Yup, I can help on this.

I remember one that is easy:

Marlins AAA C Brad Snell - Brad Davis

I can create a list later as well.

Re: Fake Players

how do you determine if they are actually the fake player?

Players with wrong jersey numbers on Red Sox .

OF Ross should be #7

IF Punto should be #5
C Shoppach should be #10
RP Melancon should be #37

RP Carlson should be #58
SP Cook should be #35

Because they have the same birthdays as the real players.

I go by Ht/Wt...Birthdate...race.

Sometimes you won't find any. At least prospects. The only ones that are "fake" are guys who have been in the majors before but weren't last year. MLBPA rules are you have to play in the majors the previous year to be in the game...or at least have been on the 40 man roster. Only exceptions are players who were out all last year due to injury (Wainwright)

The other option is to search all the teams and the free agent lists to see if anything matches up.

Re: Fake Players

Ok, I just got the game today, and am going through looking for fake names. So far, I only have the Free Agent Catchers done, but I found a few names. Birthdates matched, how they B/T match, and Ht. and Wt. are close if not the same. Only could not match up 2 free agent catcher fake name

Scott Lee = Kevin Cash
Felipe Marquez = Edwin Bellorin
Jeff Harris = John Hester
Willie Castillo = Konrad Schmidt
Justin Richardson = Brian Esposito
Jason Wagner = Paul Phillips
Robert Jackson = Max Ramirez
Rafael Liriano = Paul Hoover
Randy Jefferson = Max St. Pierre
Rex Shields = Gregg Zaun
Reggie Young = Bryan Anderson
Chris Ford = Ryan Budde

Re: Fake Players

It would be easier if it is a spreadsheet on google docs we can edit or something.

Or even create a wikipedia page for it that any of us can edit.

I'll do AAA for the Braves and the Red Sox.

(I dont think any of us should bother with AA and A teams)

Re: Fake Players

I'll make a full one later after I get done my roster, but for now if anyone needs a fake name they can't find out, just ask me.

Here is a starter just so you will all know what to try and find... I went through the Omaha StormChasers and only found 1 person. Kelvin Herrera.

Great!

I added some stuff... lets get going.. Ill do more later.

Should we start a new thread for this?

I dont think we need the similarities cell.. just league level, MLB affiliate, real name, fake name, and position.
