Updated Rosters--- 2k12

[Bretsky523]

great work on the rosters guys really enjoying them...Just wondering why does the computer lineups in franchise mode always mess up when you begin a new franchise? is there anyway to keep the lineups from changing?

Sadly no, It will always change

Mark Teixeira needs a new cyberface, his current one is from when he was younger.

Re: Updated Rosters--- 2k12

Herky... I appreciate each fan's passionate posts regarding their missing players, but please understand it would take EONS to create ALL missing 40 man roster additions. This file will not be perfect - and I'd also suggest the Cubs have a LOT of additional players to use for Franchise Mode. Not trying to be difficult, and I appreciate your posts, but our goal is to get the major league rosters solid, and at least add a good majority of the AAA players, as well as key prospects. There are a LOT of guys on 40 man rosters who will never sniff the big league rosters... Thanks for your posts, and if we can get there we'll add them, but like your post a week or two ago requesting a LOT of Cubs minor league players, it's just hard to take time to fit them in. I had to work on this file for 6 hours the other day to fix a name glitch - this stuff takes time, so if we can get those players added, we will. But I fear the Reditor plus missing players who are NOT in the database might start creating problems in this file - I'd rather avoid that for now.

No problem mk. Just thought it would be there if you decided to add them in. Once opening day starts I can always add in guys to fill the Cubs minor league system.

Wasn't trying to demand anything, was only trying to give more options but I know this task is mountainous already and will be for while.

Thanks to you and everyone who worked on this file.

Isn't there an option for 30 team control and then designate certain team options to the cpu? Also someone had posted a way back when that the way you sim is what causes the lineups to screw up, something about simming one game at a time and they don't get messed up, I forget exactly.

I believe controlling 30 teams helps but what I do is control one team in franchise but when setting it up there is an option to manage cpu lineups. I turn that to on so pregame if their lineup is screwy I can fix it.

If you already started a franchise I believe you can still turn that on under franchise options maybe? I'll look in a few.

No work today (teacher) as the Northeast is about to get bombed with snow, we're in the potential 30" range....ugh. But as long as the power stays on, I'll have plenty of 2k12.5 testing time.

Appreciate your thoughts, Herky! And my apologies if I came across too strong. We'll work hard to get as many players in here as possible. Every time I load up this game I only think of what's missing & needed - it can get a bit overwhelming.

But I'm excited to see what we continue to come up with here - we've got some great guys here who are working together quite well. I've been doing this for 3-4 years, and this is nice to see finally...

Be safe, my man! We've lived in Florida for over 8 years (about 20 minutes NE of Tampa). You dodge snow storms in the winter... We dodge possible hurricanes in the summer. As someone who lived in Ohio all my life, I kinda miss it up north - just not during times like this.

Re: Updated Rosters--- 2k12

Last post: I am tracking free agent moves, so I have that Word document that I'm continually updating. Once the file is passed along, I'll get those in there. If anyone sees players who need moved (to another team or as FA's) post it here. A great site is www.mlbdepthcharts.com - scroll down past the lineups and pitching staffs and you'll see that Jason does an outstanding job of adding the depth of NRI's and lower level players who are with the parent club. It takes a long time to go through them, but if you pick your favorite team and share those here it is VERY helpful. Thnx!

Possibly, I've heard of that too, but I guess I just forgot. But for a 1 team franchise they will always change.

Re: Updated Rosters--- 2k12

For anyone using my slider set, I've updated page 1 - post 1 of that thread. I am using this roster set for my testing and have found the set I've posted to play some amazing baseball. Games run the full gamut of outcomes. Had a low scoring game and then played another where I trailed 6-2, then I tied it at 6 and won with a run in the 8th for a 7-6 victory. Hits / statistics look good. I would also suggest using manual defensive settings before each at-bad. I find the cpu does a poor job for the user (ie. moving guys in against speedsters and moving the IF back for slower guys... The OFers also don't always set up the best, and if you're pitching a guy a certain way, you'll want to set the fielders up accordingly). Any slider set will do - I'm just offering these as an option. And some will say the user pitching is too hard. If so, just adjust it to fit your style of play / experience level. Thanks!

Couldn't agree more. Nothing gets me more worked up than the leadoff hitter of a game coming to the plate and my infield plays IN!!!!!! Thats asinine.

Take care of your alignments and you'll be fine. Played an amazing game today, got out of a bases loaded no out jam in the 7th of a 2-2 game.

Then in bottom 9, got a 2 out double off the wall. Pinch ran, pitch hit a lefty vs the righty hitter. 1-2 count got a base hit to right, play at the plate could have gone either way but it went in my favor, safe. Walk off!

I haven't had so much fun in a baseball game since MVP 05 or shoot, Baseball Stars on the NES. Just great great baseball.

Kind of depends on who the lead-off hitter is though. If it's someone like Juan Pierre (does he even still play?) who is an extremely good bunter I would think it's appropriate to play in, on the corners anyways.

Agreed, corners in. But the auto defense sets to middle in or all in, whatever they call it, which is flat out wrong.
