To answer the latest questions...
- yes, i will provide an offline .ROS version of this roster. i was invited to the pens-lightning playoff game tonight (my son and i with a family from our church) so i'm about dead tired. but i'll get that up on page 1 - post 1 and not it in this thread when it's up.
- the minor leaguers added are up to the work that L Train has done up to his March 25th file. If you would like his complete minor league roster file, you can grab it offline as he's posted a download link for it (it's not on 2k share). as stated before, i'm not a minor league guy...not my thing. i have no intention of adding any key prospects other than those provided by L Train.
- my thanks for the kind words. i intend to keep a running file and will provide updates twice a month. i've already made 8 more roster moves tonight since i put the one on 2k share today. that's the nature of baseball...a move seems to be made every second (LOL!).
In the next file i plan to review a number of added players to see if i can get their scouting reports more accurately reflected. i put a LOT of time into looking a number of them up today. i worked on this file for around 3 1/2 hours today (monday's my off day).
every batting lineup is 100% accurate as reflected by mlbdepthcharts.com. all pitching staffs are in the proper order (any team currently with a 4 man-rotation has the long-reliever in the 5th starter's spot). all jersey numbers are 100% correct (except for Purcey of the Athletics...still no word on his number because his move wasn't official yet).
i am also following the threads here and at the official 2k forums regarding news on player updates (ie. hot and cold streaks, and to some degree player accessories). i put some attention on the Pirates today, notably Tabata (speed and base stealing was increased to reflect his season to date).
i don't keep detailed notes...it slows the process down. but every team got reviewed for accuracy today, especially pitching repertoires and jersey numbers.
Thanks again for all the kind feedback! i honestly didn't intend to do mlb rosters this year, but i'm absolutely LOVING this game (exhibition mode - i play nearly every day's matchups for fun) and i'm also OCD regarding rosters (LOL!).
