MLB 2k12 1951 Roster- Anyone Interested?

[ewingandoakley]

I have always been a big fan of 1950s baseball. It housed the big three center fielders with Mickey, Duke, and Willie and was probably the golden age of baseball. And with "42" now out, I think that it would be a good way to celebrate 1950s baseball with a 1951 roster, arguably the greatest baseball season in history. My great grandfather worked at the Polo Grounds from right after World War I all the way till 1957, and he was there on October 3rd, 1951 when Bobby Thomson sent Ralph Branca's high fastball into the left field bleachers. I also know Ralph Branca, as he worked with my dad for many years, so I have ties to that moment in baseball history. I made this roster in 2k11, but only with three teams, the yankees, dodgers, and giants. I am now looking to make this roster in 2k12, but I will need the help of someone who has the reditor. I just need help with changing the team colors around (making the dodger's hat a darker blue and their cleats black), switching around jerseys like having the mets away jersey with altered colors as the away jersey for the Giants and making the Dodger's home jersey its away jersey as well except grey, and making the Polo Grounds the official stadium of the Giants. I already have made most of the Dodgers and added all of the NL and AL greats to their respective teams. There is no ETA on this roster yet.

I would also need someone to make Jackie Robinson have #42 along with the other people in the game who had that number. Right now he has #43

Just finished the Giants batters and made their two best pitchers (Maglie and Jansen). The pitchers take forever because I am trying to make them as accurate as possible using that Bill James pitcher book. I'm going to play a game at the polo grounds between the giants and dodgers and maybe i'll upload some pictures.

I would appreciate CAPs for guys that don't resemble any of the cyberfaces. If you could upload some to 2kshare, that would be great.

al rosen doesn't look great as a cyberface, and Walt Dropo could use a new CAP (I already have one for him but it isn't that good). Ted Williams looks good as a cyberface but a CAP might look better for him.

There is no accurate time frame. A few months ago when it started, I said a few months. However, since then, I have been really busy and haven't touched the roster. I think I have something like 6 teams relatively edited, but it might be more or less. This is for xbox 360.
