Hey Guys the WBC already started and I just got the game.
For those interested... I'm creating a 2013 WBC Roster.
Here's the details!
As you may be aware, you can only have 25 players in an exhibition match-up or Playoff mode and each WBC team has up to 28 players. I will still include those 3 Extra players and put them in the minors. Just in case someone wants to use them and as reserve.
I know most of you would Love to use the WBC teams in the New Playoff mode... and that's how I came up with a system to allow the best teams to square off in the playoffs without eliminating each other for being in the same pool.
I'll try to make myself clear!
In playoff mode you can only choose the teams based on who "won" the division, wild card...etc and there's ob, Obviously is a separation in leagues.
For example: My initial plan was to distribute the 4 brackets by league. 2 brackets in the AL, and the other 2 brackets in the NL.
AL EAST = Bracket D (USA, CAN, ITA, MEX)
AL WEST = Bracket C (DR, VEN, PUR, ESP)
NL EAST = Bracket B (TPE, NED, KOR, AUS)
NL WEST = Bracket A (CUB, JPN, CHN, BRA)
As you can see this would not work at all with Postseason mode, as you must choose a AL/NL Central champ.
What I'm going to do it's create my own Brackets based on Rating and Popularity, by putting the strongest team and the weakest of the the original bracket in one division... therefore maximizing the percentages that the real best teams still match up in the later rounds. (by default, some of the the divisions must have one team more than others)
New Brackets will be as followed:
Bracket A (AL EAST)
Yankees - USA
Blue Jays - Canada
Rays - Italy
__________________________________________________ _____________
Bracket B (AL CENTRAL)
Tigers - DR
White Sox - Spain
Royals - Mexico

Bracket C (AL West)
Astros - Venezuela
Rangers - PR
__________________________________________________ _____________
Bracket D (NL East)
Marlins - Cuba
Phillies - China
Braves - Brazil
__________________________________________________ ______________
Bracket E (NL Central)
Cardinals - Japan
Brewers - Australia
Cubs - China Taipei
__________________________________________________ ______________
Bracket F (NL West)
Dodgers - Korea
Giants - Netherlands
Ratings will be based on Scouting report and stats for the teams with players not in the Majors.
Also, the Ratings of the teams not participating(Red sox, Padres...etc)are going to be put down.. until after 16th best team in the classic... that way you'll know the strongest team ratings in the WBC
Stay tuned.
