Updated Rosters--- 2k12

Re: Updated Rosters--- 2k12

DCNats - question on contracts: are they 100% to the dollar amount of the actual contract or have you lowered them by a certain percentage across the board?

I only ask because I had read where there is an issue of you make the contracts to real-life monetary values - that it screws up the franchise mode. I don't know this for certain, just wasn't sure if anyone else had read this and how you proceeded (so I know what to do when I add the missing transactions that I've got charted). Thanks!

Im typically rounding. Like if the guy is making 8,333,333, which is often because of the signing bonus, Im rounding it out to 8,300,000, or 8,3500,000 in some cases.
Also with all MINOR LEAGUE CONTRACTS with invites to spring training, i am giving that player, like jason giambi for example, the amount they made last year, unless its a ridiculous amount.

The max you can do is like, 26,300,000 something like that, so for guys like Josh Hamilton who has a back loaded deal, i've rounded it out to 25 mil per year instead of the 20, 20, 30, 30, 30 or something like that the way his actual contract pays out.
I should be done in a few hours.

Re: Updated Rosters--- 2k12

Sounds good... To clarify, this is what I have tracked as TRANSACTIONS since MY prior uploaded roster:

Nationals – sign Micah Owings (plays 1B), p Will Ohman
Yankees – release: Ryota Igarashi -Japan, Gustavo Molina - Rockies, Jason Bulger-FA
Padres – sign Fautino De Los Santos (from Brewers)
Mets – sign Cory Patterson & Mike Wilson - p Brandon Lyon
Angels – sign / create Angel Villalona
Dodgers – sign IF Brian Barden & C’s Ramon Castro & Eliezer Alfonzo – p’s Mark Lowe, Kevin Gregg
Phillies – sign Matt Tolbert
Mariners – sign rhp Moises Hernandez – p Joe Saunders – p jon garland – dfa shawn kelley
Indians – sign lhp Rich Hill / Jason Giambi / Daisuke Matsuzaka
D-Backs – sign Rod Barajas
Marlins – sign Chone Figgins
Orioles – sign Todd Redmond (from Reds)
Athletics – sign Hideki Okajima

I will use mlbdeptcharts.com to determine those players that will be added to the majors or minors. Just wanted to clarify this as I was hoping you would just fix the roster as it was sent to you as-is so I knew what moves I would have to make after getting it back. Thanks and looking forward to it. Next steps will be reviewing player ratings - and to be candid, this is the part I will least enjoy as the biased opinions will surely begin to fly!

Sounds great! Just stick everyone on their respective teams, and I will deal with the contracts later after you guys play with it.
When I did the Rays late last night, I noticed Fausto Carmona still had that name, would you like me to change it to Roberto Hernandez?

Also for TVman - I noticed (i think) an option where you can select what audio the announcers say for a certain player. If this is true, couldn't you just change say Mike Stanton to Gincarlo, yet they will still talk about him like he was Mike Stanton?

Yeah..I had read in a thread earlier in the year, that since 2k gives teams less money than their real life payroll, they scale the contracts at 21% less than their real monetary value.

Yes you could get the announcers to say Giancarlo instead of Mike but then all Mike's in the game would be Giancarlo. At least that is how it appears to me.

Regarding Fausto Carmona I did change his announcing in a roster because as far as I know he's the only Fausto Or Carmona in the game! But the announcers still called him Fausto Carmona in the pre game stuff as that must be hardcoded in the exe.

I might give Vlad "another" email and ask him about the announcing stuff.

DC regarding the contracts I noticed that Reditor has the $$$ amount on a x100 at least there is a check box for it, meaning that 54,000 would actually be 5,400,000 not sure how it works out when using the in game editor though.

Yeah I figured that part out in the beginning. And I noticed how the contracts were way off. Like I said earlier for the most part its all rounded out to an even 5,400,000 or 5,550,000 etc.

I've loaded it up a few times on my xbox just to see how it came out and so far so good. I guess if we have problems we can cross that bridge when we get there, just for good measure make sure someone has the previous file that I started out with saved in case that this doesn't work. Haha.

That would be such a bummer though.

After MK puts in the transactions I will redo the ratings on the file. That is when I would recommend starting your full fledged franchise.

I just made the minor update to the sliders on page 1

For the full fledged franchise. I am in a franchise I started last week with the roster set on 2kshare with the anticipation / catcher edits. I have been just playing 1 game of every series then super simming the other games.

I just regular simmed like 5 games and when I played my whole entire bullpen was at 0 for pitch count and every one of them had the yellow plus sign next to them. So my started was at 0 in the 5th and I literally had no one to throw. Hanrahan had an allowable pitch count of 2-12....I just made Bucholz keep throwing.

And my starter for that game was only at 75 percent energy. WHen I Super Simmed non of that weirdo stuff happened. So I'm suggestion for franchise you super sim any games you're not going to play.

I did a quick check of the Feb5 roster and 2k's last official roster and any of the relief pitchers I checked had identical stamina and durability so hard to understand why all the relief pitchers were drained, or is this a problem with simming even when using 2k's original rosters?

I should have written that I don't believe it is roster related. I think it is just their sim engine.

Honestly, every single pitcher was at 0 after simming 5 games. It was the first time I didn't super sim. Super Sim has been fine. And all I do is Super Sim, press RB to sim to the end and it's over. No issues. Then regular sim.....issues.

Not the roster, 2k sim problem.

I'll set up a franchise tonight after work with an original roster and see how it goes but I assume the same thing will happen. I think this happened in my old franchise from last year and that is why I stopped playing.

Re: Updated Rosters--- 2k12

Hello - I am new to posting on here but I have feeling following all the xbox roster updates and this thread for many months.

First I just want to thank everyone, including mkharsh for all the work put into these files because they are great and I know more than anyone else just how much effort it takes to make the smallest of changes.

I do have one request which I feel is worth bringing up. I've noticed that when updating ratings, most people do not do a good job of lefty/right splits. For example, Cano has a terrible average/power numbers in all of 2012 against lefties. However, his rating is only 1 or 2 points lower than vs rhp.

If at all possible, please incorporate these splits into the ratings part of your updates.

Thank you.

Re: Updated Rosters--- 2k12

A couple of cyberface requests for y'all:

R.A. Dickey - Has a terrible generic face, not sure if y'all can find a solid face with a beard.

Ruben Tejada - Needs a better cyberface then the CAP one 2K gave him.

I'll think of more later. Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bretsky523]

I will ring up stats for everyone while doing ratings so ya, I will try my best to incorporate that. Because of this it will probably take while. I'm hoping for around 5 days. I will be away and doing NO work until Saturday, so goodbye until then
