It's simple bud---you can either make it a beginning of the season roster, or an end of the year roster (Yuck). No reason making a hybrid thats unrealistic on both fronts in my opinion. Opening Day all the way.

Yeah, I was just curious to see what experienced roster creators did (this is my first attempt at creating a full roster). But I did decide to just put them on whatever team they started the season on, it just makes more sense to me.

If they don't add in custom franchise setup for '17....I think next year will be a greatest team set. M.K. Knight165

You should definitely go with 2000 one of my favorite years

Yes....it will be 2000.
Watching Piazza get inducted got me thinking in that direction.

Working on the California Angels right now on the 1985 set.
I'll then do the White Sox and give you guys a post season version.

I'm finishing up the Angels tonight.
I just realized for the first time how old that team was.
So many of the starting players were mid-30's on that club.
I guess they were going for the veteran presence .....
Boone(Bob)....Carew, Grich, DeCinces, Downing, Jackson, Jones and Beniquez were all in that age group.
It was great playing them against the Yankees in a little test match.

The playoff roster will be a bit of a mess outside of the finished clubs..... I'll import onto my '75 set(I used that to edit the teams that were missing from those years but were in '85...(Toronto, Texas etc)...but it will absolutely be a playable playoff roster.

And Tommy John also. But I think he was actually old enough to be that group's granpa lol.
Unless you have him on Oakland, that is. Even Don Sutton was on that Angel team too, briefly.
