Found a way to create players with service time

Sorry, didn't make that clear. It's in the cpu roster control section. Updated the original post to clarify. Just select a generated player from there by pressing x, and there's an option to export.

That would be some serious dedication.

This a great little trick. If we can get players exported to the vault then they could be simply named according to their service time and tendency. For example, "2pull" or something similar could mean a pull hitter with 2 years, etc...


Since they included the ability to edit contract info, why oh why oh why did they not include the ability to edit service time? Ugh. On a positive note, it's great to see flapless batting helmets. Nice touch.

Regarding accumulated stats, one thing that possibly could be done is to take milestones into consideration. So for example if a player hit his 300th homerun in a certain year, you could create a player using this process with close to 300 career HRs so that they were likely to get that milestone during the first year of franchise/season mode.

This could be manipulated beforehand by creating a rookie in a roster file (so that he could be exported) with jacked up stats (high power for HRs, high speed for SBs, etc) and then going through this process of accumulating service time and stats.

Another little small detail.

Does this trick only work on PS4? I can't get it on my PS3! I have CPU roster control on and every other option on auto...any ideas?

From what I am reading let me get this straight, you could create a player and accumulate stats for that player and then once they've reached the stats or service time level you want then you export them and then import them into your roster and you've got your minor leaguer with accurate service time?

Where are you looking to export players? For the PS4 there is a specific section called CPU Roster Control. Not sure how it's set up on the PS3.

CPU roster control is on there and that's how it's done one ps3! Thank you so much.

Yes. Just be aware the stats they accumulate stick as well. A work around I've found is to create the player with every attribute set to zero. That way CPU will generally not use him at all over the course of the season. Then export and re-enter the stats. I personally don't like BS stats with "real" players.
