WILLARD's 2015 OSFM REVISION ROSTER (formally Hybrid). ETA - in the works

[NiteLordz]

Will the pitch edits that are made be available, in a spreadsheet? I'm 15 games into my franchise (just spring training games)and would rather do the edits myself, as I don't wanna lose the stats that I have built up. However, if they are not provided it's not the end of the world, and I can just sim the spring games. Thanks much for all the hard work done though! Definitely is cool to see the community working together.

No sinker and a cutter instead of his filthy slider.

Do you make edits based on your own ideas of how guys pitch? With pitchfx we have easy access to the acual pitches and speeds, that's the best way to do it imo: http://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.asp...153&position=P

I don't get why SCEA rosters would have any pitchers with the wrong pitches/speeds to begin with when this data is widely available for every pitcher. That has no excuse.

They will be on a spreadsheet. When Seanjeezy posts them, I'll link his spreadsheet here. Also, I'm import them into my own, editable spreadsheet so we can all work together on it. As for your edits, you're welcome to do it on your own, but if you ask me, 15 spring training games are replaceable for saving probably 20 hours of inputting pitches.

Sheet 1 will have the MLB edits, Sheet 2 usually has MiLB edits (if there are any), and we will organize on Sheet 3.

For example, I'd start it off. I'd claim the roster for 3 hours at 3PM, so no one has to worry about it for a while. When I'm exhausted from it, I mark down my PSN, what I named the roster, and what time I uploaded it. The next person will volunteer to work on it, and sign it out for 2 hours at 6:30PM, and get done what they can get done, and so on and so on. That way, when you look for it, you can organize by date added, and just look for the PSN or the name. It seems like the easiest way to do it after a couple minutes of brainstorming. If anyone has any ideas to do this any smoother, I'm all ears.

We borrow from Seanjeezy's work. He takes all of his information from Brooks Baseball.

^There is the link to his thread about it, you can skim through it to see what he has to say about it.

Dont worry about pitch names. Arrieta has a pretty good repertoire. The cutter and slider combo is a perfect representation of how Arrieta uses his "slutter". He throws it multiple ways and in different locations/speeds.

This is true but he has so many effective pitches that you can't give him both and the cutter in the show doesn't move enough to represent arrieta's "slutter". That and his sinker is a must. For him to only have a 4-seamer is terrible on scea's part.

I really don't know much about how this stuff works and how edits are made and files are stored and all that.

However, if there is any grunt work that can be done or anything that is fairly simple using charts that is simply inputting data from a sheet so I don't screw anything up.....I would love to help with this project if there is anything I can do.


I loved this roster last year, so I would feel good about contributing in someway.

I have a question for all the users - the update today was still not as good as we had hoped - would you prefer I move forward and use this roster as a base or wait for next week?
