WUDL'S ROSTER AND SLIDER SET
============================
This set is meant for more gameplay realism. You should not look too much at the OVR of the players.
I included my slider set also for those who want to test it. I recommend to use my or Mkharh's sliders.
They can both be found at operationsports.com: http://www.operation...mlb-2k-sliders/

05/15/2012 - Beta V 0.3
***********************
- updated the current 25 man rosters of the AL central
- same edits as V 0.1 and 0.2 for the current AL central 25 man rosters
- updated AL West and AL East 25 man rosters, lineups and rotations
- changed all position abilities of the players of the current AL 25 man rosters for the AL

05/15/2012 - Beta V 0.2
***********************
- I edited the current 25 man rosters of the AL East
- same edits as V 0.1
- updated the 25 man rosters of AL West teams as far as moves were made
- 25 man rosters, lineups and pitchting rotations of AL West and AL East updated
(base: www.mlbdepthcharts.com)

05/12/2012 - Beta V 0.1
***********************
- I only finished the 25 man rosters of the AL West teams by now. I did not touch any other teams
- I edited nearly every rating (batting, pitching, fielding) and tendencies as well as position abilities
and pitch types of all players on the 25 man rosters of those teams
- The game should play way more realistic now (as far as I can tell at least) since I looked deep into
split stats which 2k hadn't done obviously
- the contact ratings should overall be a little lower which lowers the amount of pop ups and flyballs
- in my test games I had pretty accurate scores and stats. I had low scoring games and high scoring games,
a fine amount of walks and k's, enough extra-base hits, and so on
- the ingame ratings are all based on a system. I made a excel sheet for it to assign accurate ratings which
are depending on the real life stats of the players


HOW TO INSTALL
**************
- Take the two files that are included in the folder and copy them into your MLB 2k12 saves folder
(They both are named "bambooland")
- Start the game and load the two files
- Maybe some guys show up with a generic bald head as far as you haven't downloaded the cyberfaces of
DetroitStyle and me over at mvpmods.com. I would recommend downloading them. It only takes a few minutes


FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FOR GAMEPLAY
*********************************
- Use CLASSIC HITTNG and TOTAL CONTROL PITCHING, I have not tested analog hitting since I hate it
- Use both USER FIELDING and USER RUNNING
- work the pitch count


CREDITS
*******
- especially to BSU-Fan who allowed me to use his first roster version as a base (BIG THANK YOU)
- Detroit-Style for his color chart I included
- to all the rosters guys out there

Re: PC Roster

I'm excited and hopeful for you to release this.

If possible, can you please post a download link in this forum, extraneous to the 2kShare? If you need help collaborating or an additional person to complete a division/team, please let me know.

Re: PC Roster

Look at the first post. Would be nice if someone could look into it.

Today I will finish NL East. I think until the end of the week I might have updated all MLB teams. After that I will look into AAA. I do not know how I will work the minor leagues. Either I will go deep and update all teams or I only focus on AAA teams and add some other prospects.

Re: PC Roster

So, I decided to not further edit players but update the lineups and projected 25-man-rosters for starting day first. And NOW I started to go really deep into the ratings. I used the texasleaguers.com pitchfx for the pitches (movement/velocity) and fangraphs for really deep split stats (batting vs. RHP/LHP, pitching vs. RHB/LHB). One team takes about 1-2 hours, so I can't predict when I can give you a first complete version.

So far I started with editing the Yankees in detail.
Their 25-man-roster looks like the following:
C - Martin (77 overall/67 contact/55 power/73 speed)
C - Cervelli (73/67/55/73)
1B - Texeira (91/69/92/60)
2B - Cano (94/91/83/77)
3B - Rodriguez (82/70/78/72)
3B - Nunez (72/68/44/83)
3B - Chavez (68/67/43/66)
SS - Jeter (85/83/47/84)
LF - Gardner (80/70/54/98)
LF - Jones (78/58/83/78)
LF - Ibanez (77/69/71/64)
CF - Granderson (91/73/95/91)
RF - Swisher (86/71/83/62)

SP - Sabathia (94 overall/89 control/99 stamina/93 composure)
SP - Kuroda (85/76/87/80)
SP - Hughes (77/72/80/68)
SP - Nova (79/70/85/72)
SP - Garcia (76/72/85/78)

CL - Rivera (92/98/34/96)
SU - Soriano (80/78/36/88)
SU - Robertson (82/78/33/83)
MR - Wade (77/77/44/75)
MR - Logan (75/76/38/74)
MR - Rapada (67/70/43/67)
LR - Warren (67/66/68/60)

This builds a team rating of 92 pitching and 96 batting for a 96 overall.

Re: PC Roster

I am really really pissed like hell. I don't know why, I didn't touch it, but Ty's editor screwed the skintones another time. I didn't change them, the work of 4-5 hours is for nothing.

[Samosa_King]

Re: PC Roster

does this mean that you will not post a complete roster update?

[sell445]

Re: PC Roster

Yeah, Ty's editor is buggy when it comes to skin tones this year. Don't know whether or not it will be updated again

[wudl83]

Re: PC Roster

does this mean that you will not post a complete roster update?

Yes I will post one. It will take only a little longer. I have updated the 25 man rosters and lineups by now and just finished the Rangers as the first team which I gave a second look on. I could have done the Yanks, but two times in a row the same edits suck. :wink:

I know now what causes the skintone bug, so I will avoid this and hopefully I can finish today with some more teams.

[wudl83]

Re: PC Roster

There seem to be further problems with the roster editor. Now some other players have the wrong skintones. I don't want to edit all the players ingame because with the editor it would go much faster. If I edit a team ingame I need about 30-45 minutes more than with the editor. I am getting really angry now. I realized that every edit will cause the problem.

If over at 2k they would only be somehow so intelligent to give the people accurate rosters...but no...ugly cyberfaces, disastrous ratings, wrong positions...I do not like to play games that are that unrealistic. I hate that. I am losing the passion. I hope that Ty will come up with a new version of his editor. I don't want to edit everything ingame, that sucks big time.

[Samosa_King]

Re: PC Roster

Yes I think you should wait a bit and see what happens, before more bugs pop up!

[Mickeyknoxx]

Re: PC Roster

Could you please tell me what kind of major changes you are doing on the ratings ?

[wudl83]

Re: PC Roster

By now I am trying to edit the players ingame nonetheless. This takes a ton of time so please don't be too angry with me. :wink:

What I am changing? Nearly everything.
For fielders I am concentrating on batting ratings (80% of the players are off depending on vs. LHP and RHP, 2k didn't put much effort into this, also I try to adjust their eye ratings to make them fitting with their strikeout and walk tendencies), speed ratings (some superfast players are way too slow and it goes also the other way round) and fielding ratings (seems that every star player which is bad to mediocre at fielding in reality has good to very good fielding ratings ingame nonetheless).

For pitchers I am editing their pitch types and control and movement on those pitches to develop realistic pitches (most pitchers have wrong pitch speeds and often totally wrong pitches in their arsenal while others are simply lacking, also some pitchers have way too much or way too less control and movement on their pitches).

Also I try to edit some pitchers batting ratings since this is mostly way off (I think 2k didn't really touch them deep).

And last but not least I change some tendencies (I hate it when ingame some guys are drawing walks after walks although in reality they have the worst plate discipline or pitchers strike you out one after another although in reality they have e.g. 4,5 k/9).

Re: PC Roster

I also plan to first stick with the actual 40 man rosters and use them as a base for MLB and AAA rosters.
In MLB and AAA rosters only real people will be in. If the AAA misses some players I add some top prospects. The player ratings should be all very accurate.

When I am finished with this (do not know how much time this will take, perhaps 2-3 weeks?) I will release the roster. Perhaps Ty works over his editor in the meantime so I would be able to bring out the roster earlier.

In the AA and A wille be mostly fake players.

To make it easier for you to see who is a fake player and who is a real person, every fake player will get 2 talent stars while the real players will at least get 3.
