1993 Full 90 Man Roster

[GainzBro]

Dude! This is my dream roster year! The '87 roster is just outstanding but slightly before my time. In '93 I was 11 and I remember this season better than any other from my childhood. It was so much larger than life it was magical to me. I have secretly wished for this year to be produced ever since I downloaded '87. Thanks guys!

Be thank you to StormsWarning for hitting up the Indians and pitching in as well as Madden08 for knocking one down as well. I have knocked out the Giants 40 man and working on minor league and prospects. JMeyers1975 is doing the importing into the master file and ratings

Thank you guys for doing a great set and was my honor and pleasure to have a small part in it, looking forward to it.

Stay safe

Storm.

The Ms were absolutely loaded.

Unreal they only won a single playoff series in the late 90s.

In my experience my long play of these rosters only ends when I reach the point that there aren’t enough real life prospects for the new season. I got 3 seasons out of 1987. So add as many as possible. Heck add 14 year olds if necessary.

That is your take. Many of us adore the full 90 man sets which this will be.

It is unavoidable that fictional prospects will come into the game as early as year 1 when you draft.

So I don’t understand what you are pointing out.

1987 had all real minor leagues. Fictional players generate and get drafted.

This is the same for full minors for current day.

Thank you Jmeyers and Jethro for this gift of 1993 whenever it comes out!

I think you misread that completely. I’m saying the more young prospects packed in the better because it gives the roster more longevity as it progresses. If a roster has no minors, or very few minor leaguers, it falls apart within a year or so of franchise. Nobody likes 90 man rosters more than me Lol

The issue with that is that doing something like this imbalances the mode; it's the reason why there are so many complaints about poor AI, guys retiring early, major budget issues, good players being left unsigned in FA, etc.

You can't just jam-pack a bunch of A and B potential prospects within a 90-man roster. You have to have a high number of D potential players (i.e. career minor leaguers) so that the mode cycles players as it was built.

So yeah, you can get a "14 yr old" version of a guy (who will be 18 in the game), shove a high potential on him, and so on. But as those players mature quickly, there won't be any place for them to go (so they stagnate), or higher quality major leaguers that want more cash won't get signed.

It sucks, but there isn't a heck of a lot of wiggle room...it's more of a "pick your poison" proposition either way.
