Is this the worst live roster ever?

[PVarck31]

I just don't have the time or energy to go through every team and make sure all players are there, create them if they aren't, give them ratings and all that.

This really shouldn't be something the consumer has to do themselves. I feel like a roster update should be out by now. I spent $85 on this game and I have to wait probably three weeks for Ridin's rosters so I can start my franchise.

With the Indians, Jake Bauers is listed as an OF and he plays 1B in real life, but if you put him at 1B he is out of position and drops routine throws to first by infielders. I tried to change it but the same thing happens. It's the same with Yu Chang at 1B. I'll give them a break there since it's his first year playing there. I have to call up Bobby Bradley to play 1B, which he should be there anyway, Bauers is a joke.

And the fact that you can't download anything from the vault, wow. That's crazy, and also crazy they haven't fixed it yet. Maybe they have by the time I'm writing this.

The on-field gameplay is the best it's ever been, as well as the presentation. But other than that, and I won't even get into RTTS, the game has been very underwhelming so far.

I guess I just have to wait for now.

Agree pretty much about the roster, however, after struggling thru the learning process the stadium creator (with the exception of lack of a locator) can produce some beautiful, outstanding stadiums. Unfortunately thousands are posting stuff in the vault that are nothing more than junk. If I had to base an opinion on some of that crap, I’d agree with you, but otherwise it’s a great addition.

You’re right. I have more against the lack of search function than the creator itself.

Probably many nice gems (seen a few screenshots here in another thread) burden in the vault.

I couldn't even find Jake on the default roster (which is understandable) and on the live roster I have, he is a firstbaseman. weird.

I have a related question. Beginning last year they changed the vault system and I had difficulty figuring it out.

Is there a way in the vault to search for the SCEA roster updates?

The reason I ask is because if and when I get a ps5 I will get mlbts 21 mostly for the stadium creator but that won't be for some time given the problems Sony is having producing ps5 consoles. When I do get it I'd like to start my franchise with the first live SCEA roster update. I don't understand why they change things like the vault which used to be easy to navigate.

What an incredibly self indulgent group.. They're riding the coattails of the developers that created the masterpiece that this game used to be. The current group has done nothing but implement poorly thought out features, and ignore the community.

a lot of these have been in the Show, and with the Studio, for years and years and years. some have even been with Sony since the 989 days. some even aren't developers, just gamers that the Studio scanned.
