And then a day or two later once it's completed, release a second version of the roster with players on their assigned teams ? Best of both worlds. Like the game itself, the more options, the better.

That could definitely work out.

The only issue being is that right now the teams are super imbalanced just because I’ve been importing and editing players one by one without really caring too much about individual teams and ratings.

So regardless, I have a lot of player movement to do.

I don’t think it will affect anyone’s fantasy draft if I move around the players post draft. If anything it will make the base roster more functional.

This roster will include 52 Two-way players.

In order to mark these players as two-way players on the roster, I had to simulate games in franchise mode.

This means that unlike all other players on this roster, the two way players will have some career stats...

I’ve done my best to limit the numbers to the bare minimum, but it will still make the stat line look a little awkward with 2020 showing up twice. It may look weird but i think it’s best with the amount of two-way player I made that they should all be marked. All players service times will go back to 0.000, however.

These two way players range drastically in skill, age, and secondary positions. Should definitely make the roster unique.


Stay tuned.

I'm happy to announce that the IBU Inaugural season Fantasy Draft will be held next Sunday night. I know most have given up on this project, and/or are more invested with Bacon's roster, but I am still planning on going through with this series now that the roster is nearing completion.

Its been an uphill battle, but after nearly 2 months of endless work I am close to completing this fictional roster. Tune in this weekend to see the debut of the roster, and see what teams these players will be suiting up for this coming season!.

I will make another announcement once the roster is uploaded to the vault next week!. Stay tuned!

While I'm sure more would have gotten on board with your roster if it was released nearer when the game came out and people started franchises, I'm sure many people will still give yours a look. And now that you have the base of it, for future years I'm sure you'll be able to add on and also have it ready for release time.

I'm sure many people who want their rebranded league to have a complete fresh start with no prior stats will enjoy this. I know that was the big appeal to me and I may in fact still give it a shot after for a second franchise once it's out.

I'm also glad to hear you seemingly gave up on needing 3,000 players for release. I don't think it's as important to have complete 90 man rosters for every franchise as it is to just have it released. Especially considering many of those "filler" players are never going to make it to the MLB anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't even think Bacon's roster is 3,000 players deep.

Is there any way to import an already simulated two way player into a roster, to avoid having to simulate?

I’m pretty sure there is a two way player in the player vault. Only problem is I would have to import and remake 40+ players I’ve already created since a good portion of them I made in ‘19.

Will these be releasing some time soon?

Excited to watch that draft
