I didn't actually count the amount of pitchers on each staff (dumb on my part lol). Was that done intentionally? Thanks!

The ratings were done to be as accurate as possible, except for the appearences which arent 100% done yet. But, players have the right skin colors, right facial hair, right hair style and color....

Every player who played a game in the show in 1994 is in the data, so if a team used more fielders than pitchers, then they'll have more fielders, yes.

Awesome!

I think you'll have an easier time with equipment going foward because I generic'd the equipment of my template players, so some things (like that Nike logo on the jersey) are no longer around because they wouldn't have been around in 94. Also, modern catcher masks, knee savers, all braces, are gone.

Are there pieces of equipment you'd say A LOT of players use? I can edit my data to put it in so you won't have to change it in the future.

Is there a reason the Brewers aren't done in the NL complete file? Jw

Did I just answer my own question?

Take pictures...then put them on the laptop/computer monitor next to the TV...copy over. Skips the writing part.

Good idea in theory, but I just tried it with my iPod and it takes less time to write it down. Thing is, in copying mode, I can work the controller with one hand and the keyboard wth the other and now I can do it real quick.

If I had a camera that would produce a perfect shot without me having to resize the shot and fix the glare from the TV, etc then it would be better... but it would still take 15+ pictures to capture all the info I have in my spreadsheet.

BUT, if I ever have to do equipment/faces, I think pictures would be the way to go.

I tried it that way once with the faces by taking pictures.....I tapped out after doing one player lol.....you have to take a picture of each little detail, took me a half an hour just to take all the pictures needed for one player......then I tried another way by recording and taking screenshots......that went a lil quicker, took about 15-20 mins to grab all the screens needed

With the TVs side by side, takes me about 8-10 mins per player to port over the faces/equipiment......I've always appreciated the roster makers out there, but since I've recently started doing this, I can tell you this is a definitely a job that is a labor of love
