Classic Teams - MLB 19

[bostongahden]

Hey all,

I'm in the process of installing MLB 19, and I plan on bringing some of my classic sets over. I'll be focusing on the 70s, 80s, 90s and my top 50 all-time rosters.

I have created some of the players in these sets and rerated them but credit for many of the likenesses and equipment belong to the fine community of roster makers we have here. A special shoutout to the following roster creators as their fine work can be found in these sets: DrSublime, BigKlu, doncropper, Knight165, Rwings832, Dallmantor1, lortel7, JohnEKool, Aboti98, sc73ray, Marsl444. baumy300, and pjsnell10.

Now that it is so much easier to import entire rosters to MLB 20, I hope that someone brings them over to the current title to be enjoyed. I like to remain a year behind as its more "cost-effective" lol. I'll post updates as I move along and completed sets will be listed here.

Classic Teams - Divisional Era Concept
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

Classic Teams 1.0 and 2.0 - Uploaded July 23rd, 2020

These rosters on the spreadsheet are built on an updated MLB 19 2020 roster. The current major leaguers will be moved to the AA level and present-day AAA players will remain untouched.

My plan is to make uniforms for the "relocated" teams listed in brackets on the spreadsheet when I move to MLB 20. The concept is to have the same eras in the same division for more head to head play. Since we can't have custom leagues yet, this was my answer to that. They are effectively arranged for playoff mode as well as you could have like era teams competing against each other. If you use them in playoff mode, or if creating uniforms doesn't interest you, at least you'll still have accurate classic teams if you choose to download these rosters. You'll just have to export/import the players to their original franchise. There are no duplicate players and each team has a 26 man roster as I have MLB 20 in mind. On the 40 man roster for each team, you'll see 25 players at the MLB level and one additional player at the A level.

There will be other sets offered in the future and I'll add them to the spreadsheet as they are completed. Any Classic Team roster labeled 1.0, 1.1 etc will consist mainly of teams from the 1960s, 1980s, and 2000s. The rosters labeled 2.0, 2.1 will have teams from 1940s/50s, 1970s, and 1990s. So, if you wanna take these over to MLB 20, fill yer boots



All-Time Top 50 (Uploaded May 7th, 2020)
This top 50 all-time set is completely rerated. The all-time top 25 are at the MLB level, the next 25 are at the AAA and a mixture of current players and classic players that never made the cut are in AA. I used WAR as a sorting tool but didn't go by that metric alone. This set plays exceptionally well as I used JTommy's RBU career ratings. Very few players fall in the 90s range and a good range from high 80s to low 60s. There are no duplicate players. This set plays extremely well. Enjoy

Nothing in the vault yet for MLB 19. It'll take me a few weeks to port everything from MLB 18. I'm going to start with my top 50 all-time set. Once I upload sets into the vault I'll post the teams in the set on the OP and I'll give my PSN handle. Then, feel free to take them to 20

Sounds good!

The AL East is done and I'm one team away from finishing the AL Central for my all-time top 50 set. The entire AL should be done over the weekend.

OK my first game with MLB 19. My Sawx hung on to beat the Twins in the AL Wildcard game despite giving up 3 unearned runs. Still working out the sliders as I see too many errors using my sliders from 18. Still, I got the "W" thanks to a 3 run johnson by Mitch Moreland. Sale was filthy punching out 10 in 6 innings. Shoutout to mkharsh33 for his terrific roster set featured here.
