    Ok, what the heck is the OSFM roster?

    I see a lot of people here talking about this infamous OSFM roster due out around opening day. It is supposed to have full minor league rosters and on and on....

    My 2 questions are what the heck does OSFM stand for?

    And, is this something that prompts us to download it when we fire up the game? (Similar to the prompt I got 1st time loading the game to download March 6 roster update).

    Sorry for my noobyness but this is my first year playing The Show

    OSFM stands for Operation Sports Full Minors. You will have to go to the Roster Vault to download the roster. Only Sony's "official" roster updates will prompt you to download them. Have fun!

            The only thing that bothers me is that I wont be able to use the roster updates throughout the season. Like if a trade goes down, a free agent signing, ratings changes or injuries. The OSFM roster don't take care of this. At least I don't believe that they do. How do you guys deal with these issues?

              So it is a roster created by fans of the game from this forum and not SCEA.

              Yeah, I'll think I will pass for possible player favorability reasons. I want play with the rosters SCEA puts out so I know certain players aren't "boosted" unfairly.

              Previously I thought it was some official roster that prompted to download in game so I was waiting before starting my Season mode with the Brewers. I have been playing RTTS exclusively and will still spend most my time in there with my SS and SP.

              But knowing this I'll just start my Season now. (I don't have interest in Franchise mode, more depth than I want personally)

                  You're sort of missing the point.

                  SCEA doesnt have the rights to the Minor League players so this little community headed up by The Grand Master of Roster Insanity (GMoRI)Knight165, painstakingly put together the most realistic rosters possible.

                    Nope. There are no boosting of minor leaguers on certain favorite teams. All the ratings are legit! Knight has a set guide of what the ratings are suppose to be for A potential, B potential and C potential prospects.

                        I know since you created this thread that you haven't seen past iterations, but that is a fair assumption for any unofficial roster, but not with these. It's hard to have "favorites" when you have various people working on it... including scouts dare I say.

                        Even SCEA rosters has a few players that need to be adjusted ratings-wise. No roster is perfect and they're not for everyone, but even you could use these for Season.

                              Let's just say, it might be best if they either say so themselves or I don't say anything else than I have already. I don't want to get anyone into unwanted trouble or draw unwanted attention to anyone that is, since that would be tactless on my part.
