    Fake Players


    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.

            Because they have the same birthdays as the real players.

                    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

                        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)

                          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.
