MLB The Show 20: The Strat-O-Matic '80s Roster From htskr21

I don't know how I missed this but I downloaded it last night and LOVE IT! Great work on the likenesses and this has me thinking of doing a 70s set. A terrific step back to the 80s.

Yeah, definitely take another gander at the base roster. I love the little touches like seeing players not showing up where they weren't necessarily developed but in many cases, where they made a name for themselves (like Robbie Alomar with the Jays or Vizquel in the Cleveland org). It adds to the vibe that this truly is more of a 'fantasy' roster and honestly, it helps me get over my own 'hump'....which has nothing to do with the quality of a roster....it's my own mental block

Dude....that's sorta why I posted what I did...I feel like it got buried a little after the initial release and wanted to make sure folks didn't miss out like we both did. I downloaded it after launch and then just sat on it as I just couldn't get into a fantasy draft chise.

It wasn't until I began looking at it this weekend that I was like, "Whoa...this is REALLY good". I started running some sims....and loved what I saw. I made a few of my own tweaks and I'm going to dive into a franchise.

Another bump for this roster. We are really digging into our KC Royals Fantasy draft franchise with this one.

Love it.

Going to bump this. Josh wrote a great PM to me about this roster and will be highlighting it tomorrow for a news post (finally).

I picked up the Show 20 yesterday for $5 and immediately downloaded this gem. Well done. Not sure if you can transfer the files to The Show 21 but how great would this thing be with all of the stadiums that will be created? Wow!

I'm so honoured (and shocked) to see an article about my roster on operationsports.com I can't stop smiling.
Thank-you all for such high praise. I'm beyond grateful to this community and all of the creators (much more talented than me)
who made mine possible. You guys have made an aging lover of the game feel like a kid again. A sincere thank you.

Another plug for the durability of this roster: I am still playing this one exclusively and am in year 2 of my franchise. It's playing out very well and the storylines are building. I love it.
