OS94 (MLB 16) Topic

[Phil Parent]

Hey all,

Year 3 of OS94 developement!

I'll finish this this summer and then start on OS98.

First order of business is of course porting from MLB 15.

THEN, I'll go through and set Birthplaces. Actually not that much of an headache since you can pretty much get the info with a simple google search.

Then it will be all about completing the 90-man rosters. Pitchers left to do at this point.

Re: OS94 (MLB 16) Topic

First impression, birthplaces aren't assigned to ported players THAT randomly.

Byung-Hyun Kim was correctly assigned South Korea as a birth place without me having to edit it. What are the odds?

I'm thinking there's a database within the game that detects some players name and puts in the correct birthplace. Or it may just be that his name is Kim and the game automatically makes anyone named Kim a Korean because that's a real common Korean name.

Phil, let me know if you need any assistance with the porting. I already carried over your 94 V2 rosters from MLB 15 to MLB 16 with the roster control on

I'll gladly pitch in

Ahh yes, I'd love more faces! We had NL East and Central done I think. Definitively NL East.

It will be too much hassle doing it now though because you'd need to upload every player individually out of Franchise mode. I'll do the port proper, and then you can use the roster file to do it and reupload it when you've got some done.

Thanks for wanting to do this again, saves me a ton of work!

The Summer Baseball Died

A few questions, if I may:

Are Jeter, Pettitte, Rivera- Yanks minors?
Will Nomar be on the Red Sox Single A?
Will Dale Murphy be on the Free Agent list? Lee Stevens?

Thanks & happy baseball!

Jeter, Pettitte and Rivera are in along with Posada as well in the minors....I actually have a Yankees franchise going using these rosters and I'm trying to duplicate the feats of the "Core Four"

Phil really did a subperb job with these rosters, he loaded the minors across the league with so many players, Nomar being among them

Are these rosters up yet? They sound amazing!

Teamwork make historical rosters work! If we all help each other make awesome rosters, then the people that play will have more fun.

I don't think there's a place for a competitive spirit in this... this isn't a competition for downloads or percentage points. We're fans working for fans. And I have to say, this community has one of the best modding communities I've seen ever and I've been modding games since 1999.

@bretsky523 No it isn't out. This is being ported from MLB 15 right now.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.... I'll check about Murphy, and yes.

Since we don't have draft classes, and we can't import into Franchise so we can't just overwrite new draftees with real players, I've taken the liberty to add players in the game that would be drafted or signed in future years (to a degree, there are limits to how far I will go in time... the youngest player in the game is Adrian Beltre, and he was signed legit in 1994 anyway.). They are put on the team that would eventually sign them out of the draft. Amateur free agents are put in Free Agency.

So in Free Agents, you find Nomo, who comes in pretty good and should decline rather quickly as happened in real life. You find Ichiro. You find Ohka, Hasegawa, Yoshii, Irabu... Because I have 20 more free agents spots in MLB 16, I will put in more Japanese: I didn't have Matsui. I didn't have Shinjo. You have a boatload (pun intended) of Cubans. You have somebody like Brendan Donnelly who played independent baseball. You have foreigners playing in Japan and Mexico. And of course, old guys who may or may not be useful any longer, like Gary Carter and George Brett and Carlton Fisk and the likes. Nolan Ryan. He's good for a year.

I put lots of thoughts into the free agents list, lol.

Re: OS94 (MLB 16) Topic

I have a couple of questions.
Will you be adding any licensed equipments to the players? and in MLB 15, I noticed that some of the AL and NL teams have stirrup high socks and low socks (tight pants) Will you keep it that way or all of the teams will wear low socks?

Thanks. Looking forward to the release!

Depends what the player used. If they used the licensed equipment then yeah I'll use it.

But I don't know if they have anything that was used in 1994 in there.

Re: OS94 (MLB 16) Topic

You need help porting this over to mlb '16 Phil? I'd love to help get at least a semi-working version of this up as soon as possible. I'd love to do a RTTS with this roster as it was the year I graduated High School.

Two people working on one port is a lot of trouble because you just end up doing more work.

BUT, if you want to help the mod along, I can give you a list of names of some players I want to add and you can start them. That would save me a lot of time to finish the mod!

I'd want the basic details (minus contracts) and appearances done. I'll handle their attributes and the contracts.

Work done for today....

- Ported free agents + fixed birthplaces
- Ported closers + fixed birthplaces
- Ported catchers of 11 teams + fixed birthplaces
