Retired Players Project

[Joey]

bedwards, give me some names or a team(s) and I'll look some of them up. I'd like to help as much as possible and right now with all I have going on this would be a perfect way for me to contribute.

I have the book but it would be an amazing time saver for the editor if the info was easy to access. It adds a ton of time in the editing process to have to go through the book to find them.

Sorry spit_bubble, by no means do I mean to get off topic for your thread.

That would be awesome Joey! here is a link to a spreadsheet of players just to give you an idea of who I personally would be talking about:

Any help at all in regards to pitch types and speed would be enormously helpful. I know last year spit_bubble was a great help with this as well!

There's that, and then there's player appearances too. When this project gets up and running roster makers (and anyone else for that matter) will be able to download base versions of players and have most of the work already done.

That's cool. I know people already got some rosters going this year. If anyone wants to help those projects, just search the forum as those threads should be easy to find.

I understand that, but most of the people making rosters that could be utilizing the research in the thread already know how to make faces.

I was just offering a suggestion as to what I feel would best help some of us roster makers out here.

I guess I'm confused, I thought the thread was more to offer a helping hand for people making rosters, by doing some of the research and compiling of information.

Added a player creation tool to the first post:

MLB 12 pitching styles- A spreadsheet for filtering pitching styles, to help you find the right wind up and motion a lot faster than scrolling through every one within the game.

Well, it's compiling information and creating players. Imagine if you not only didn't have to gather data, but also didn't have to make faces. You could just download players already finished, and then make whatever tweaks necessary, like if you were making the 1987 Boston Red Sox and needed to give Wade Boggs a power boost (24 HRs, and .588 slugging that year ). It makes sense if you can see what I'm envisioning here.

I guess I see what you're doing but having people do all the faces for you takes the fun of roster building. But I could see why some people would be interested. If it's a compilation of info I will definitely be utilizing it.

Best of luck!
