OK all, the AL is finished and uploaded to the vault. It is entitled CLASSIC TEAMS AL and my network handle is GREENMONSTER_37. Hope you like everything so far. A few things to keep in mind:
- Please don't ask my reasons for ratings as most of the players were culled from other roster. The players I created were mostly bench players and relief pitchers. The ratings ARE NOT season specific but certainly are quite reasonable in many cases. I did a rough scan and tried to adjust "outlier" seasons but clearly more work is welcome here. I have more tinkering to do but I just wanted to make these available ASAP. Most star players or HOFers were left alone with the exception of those who were past their prime with certain teams (Frank Thomas with Chicago and Bob Allison with the Twins to name a few).
- I did the best I could with stances and deliveries for my creations. I'm no expert but I think I did OK. It was hard to find video or even pics for that matter for some players. Also, I didn't have use of a ratings calculator as I just compared players of similar stats for game values.
- Player ages and uniform numbers should all be correct. There are duplicate players (note: on the 2007 Red Sox I have Coco Crisp as the DH as I couldn't export David Ortiz to that team.... so just FYI) and I have set up "out of the box" lineups that are reasonable and pitching rotations are set. All MLB teams are set to 23/25 man rosters.
Also another roster maker to thank > captainphildo. I'll recognize him on the first page. The NL teams are now up on the first page now. I had hoped this would be all completed by mid August but it'll probably be near the end of the month. Please feel free to post corrections and thoughts. NL coming up!
