Hybrid + OSFM

[cripes]

I don't do any work for OSFM or Hybrid rosters but I just don't understand why you wouldn't name it something else. If you post it on here and just tell everyone what you did and it is named "Roster 88172543" then people will go look for it under your PSN name.

All this does is prevent WTNY and others from sharing their data in the future. So while you definitely deserve the props for putting in the grunt work it is definitely a dick move when he so definitively asked you NOT to use the word Hybrid in your roster title.

Hey man, no hard feelings. I realize it sucks right now because we'll have to answer "which Hybrid is this?" questions all summer and you have this roster you worked hard on and are excited about, but the roll out didn't quite go according to plan, but you live and learn. Personally, I didn't think you had anything but the best intentions in mind (since you basically offered your roster to us), but sometimes the devil is in the details.

Oh, and you can always create a new thread!

As a neutral observer I can assure you that you did that to yourself by choosing the name you did to get more downloads.

You've been here long enough to know the pride you guys all take in these sets and to take partial work from others and pass it off as the full thing is quite unfair.

I know you are saying that you fully disclosed in this thread what it was but there are a lot more users than you think that wait for these rosters every year without viewing this forum at all.

Coincidentally I believe this will have a negative effect on your rosters as the word get's around that it isn't the actual OSFM Hybrids people are waiting for.


Either way, whats done is done. I would just have thought that as a roster maker yourself, knowing the pride that goes into these rosters you would have come up with a more unique identifier as the roster name.

Had you just come out and said "me bad" instead of getting super defensive this wouldn't have even been a discussion at all and you could have had your thread as you wanted it.

You made a mistake but it's certainly not an unrecoverable one. Come up with a way to set your rosters apart and re-roll the dice. Having a bit of a sense of humor about yourself never hurts - why not call your set the HydroxFM© rosters? It makes it clear what the lineage of your rosters is while making it clear you're not trying to be the actual Hybrid set. Make a new thread with a new title, reupload the file with a new name, and figure out what niche your rosters fill long-term.

Gentleman, myself and a friend have put in yeoman's work the past 36 hours and we have gone over the spreadsheet provided by the great guys here at the forums..and we have input it into the OSFM file! It was alot of work, but worth it to me. I just have to have the re-rates, I'm kind of a perfectionist in that way. The pitch edits are NOT fully input yet, but due to people demanding these things be released with/without pitch edits (some prefer not to have them) I have decided to release what I have now to everyone. It is in the vault, PSN: BEasy17 The roster is titled: OSFM Hybrid Thanks to everyone here who worked on the spreadsheet, I'm simply the guy that put in the grunt work The only thing I ask is to please Like the roster after you download it. Thank you! Enjoy them.

While I appreciate your hard work you guys put in, I agree with WTNY. I know your intention was not to take away from our roster, but by using our ratings and name you kind of did. The Hybrid name was my own, it was my own roster from way back and it will add confusion. If you could take it down and call it OSFM rerate or something to that extent I would greatly appreciate it.

Anybody else noticing how the sense of community is gradually eroding on these forums?


People already faked OSFM and are already posting various hybrid rosters. It is going to happen. Hybrid has evolved into meaning that it has full minors and rerates. Consider that. Evolve as well would be my suggestion.


It is nice to have pride and a sense of accomplishment. But, this is still a community. I feel like your spreadsheet should be public based on that premise of community. Even if someone pushes out a different hybrid before yours is done, yours still has all the bells and whistles and is tested. But someone else who is part of the community can start with what they feel is okay.


That's not to mention people who are literally afraid to post because they might get called dumb or "yelled" at for asking about an ETA or what is in the roster. We lose part of our community before they even truly enter it.


I understand the history. I was part of it. Yes, I've even helped with some of these rosters in the past but I don't toot about it because it is a community.


Someone I won't mention who did eventually put out a truly terrific roster but it took them until August to get it out and people were thinking May. It was one of the most anticipated rosters ever and the first to use projection systems. Hence a lot of the questions. People also want a general idea. They want to know whether to start with OSFM or another roster or decide how long they can wait for another roster. Putting no ETA at all isn't communal. Don't worry about people who say "you said it would be done in 2 weeks", the community will handle them. Heck, stave it off by being really general or overshooting. Just give them an idea.


We aren't an open community anymore. I am saddened by this. /soapbox
