Bacon's Fictional Roster

[GlennN]

I just found this roster - amazing work, Bacon!! I do not buy any sports game every year, so I will be passing on MLB 20. I did buy 19 - is the companion spreadsheet still available somewhere for MLB 19? Thanks!!

I found a Mike Jordan on Chicago also.

Yupp, there are a few in free agency of CAPs I found that look good so I made them 60ish overall and threw them in to fill some free agent spots.

Hi Bacon,


Are the rosters good to use for multiple seasons? Im almost done in doing 30 teams rebrands and will use your rosters. I would like to sim the first season to create a history (which team won, which teams are bad, whos the mvp etc.) before then playng the 2nd season and have a comprasion who improved etc.


Just want to make sure if the rosters are good for multiple seasons?




thanks.

I didn't do a deep sim on MLB20 yet, but I've done test franchises on previous versions before and it has seemed to work well. I've gone 10-15 years in the future and guys who make the hall of fame or prospects I thought would be good have turned out about as expected. There isn't too much of an issue with over saturation either. That's why I have so many D potential players.

Have you had any experience with guys flaming out, or guys coming from nowhere?

Yeah, it does happen. I don't have specific examples but the 'potential' system is set up so guys underachieve/overachieve.
