What do yall suggest? i just want to pick a team and start my franchise already, tired of obsessing over sliders and rosters. thanks!

I can’t speak for these sliders or for josh but I really love what brinskie11 did with his rosters

I'm using cycloniac's roster. What's the deal with brinksies? Is it full re rates, pitch edits etc?

I know he did some ratings edits and I believe equip edits. I haven't done any sort of compare/contrast to see how different they are.

The biggest thing for me is that he did a sweeping reform of player potentials. They are SIGNIFICANTLY muted compared to the base rosters (or Ridin's).

The SDS or Ridin roster (I cannot speak to Cycloniac's) will basically push player overalls across all MLB teams into the mid-80s/90s by the 2nd or 3rd year of a franchise (and it's very uniform - usually only 1 or 2 teams will have more than one starter with a <80 OVR). Speaking for myself, I'm not a fan of that just conceptually. I prefer to see a better distribution of player ratings and team qualities within franchise; as I feel it is a more reasonable facsimile of real life.

You cannot avoid "ratings creep" within this game; but using a roster like Brinskie's can help improve the longevity of one's franchise.

Brinksies rosters are equipment edits and rerates. Cy's rosters are rerates and pitch edits. Both look like they fixed the potentials to help make the franchises work for a long time. I think they just have different rerate calculations. Both are very good rosters.

Question regarding Home run celebrations for MLBTS21...the “Spear” celebration is locked...but when I go to the community market, it’s like the only celebration I cannot buy with stubs...can’t even find it available to but. Anyone have a work around or know how I can unlock and buy the RH1 Spear?

Wound be a massive help, thank you!

If it isn't in the market; you either to have to complete some sort of mission/program in DD or (possibly) RTTS.

I have no idea what it might be though.

So Bacon tweeted that a 40-man version of his fictional roster should be released sometime this week.

I'm going to take a look and see how adaptable it would be for a long-term franchise (I personally do not like single season playthroughs). If I can make it work, I will be moving forward with a franchise and I can really begin digging into things.

If not, I'll either wait for a more complete version of his roster or just scrap any pretense of playing franchise this year (which I'm totally fine with tbh).

Please keep me posted my friend, I have not picked up 21 in a few weeks for the lack of a viable franchise. I just can't get into the "real" roster after experiencing the Bacon goodness last year...
