Operation Sports Full Minors 2016 (RELEASE ANNOUNCED! Sunday at 6 PM ET!)
Hello baseball brethren!
I can't believe it's that time again....but it is.....time to get ready for another edition of the Operation Sports Full Minors. This great community effort is nearing a decade of existence in one form or another and is stronger than ever. There will be some changes to this year's format.....as we have several editor already working on the 2016 players and we will simply import them. RidinDwnKingsely will once again be doing the importing to the Master file and checking that everything is in line. Willard76 has a roster that has the faces for most players that need them(of course as we get closer...we may need to create some or edit existing)....thanks to many face editors ...Motown...Willard himself and others(I'll get the names for sure) ShowTyme has created a roster that has up to date transactions(I believe he and bacong worked on this together) The individual team editors are working on the players they want to see in each organization. All of these elements will be combined to try and get a set out VERY soon after the release of MLB The Show 2016 as we can import the players from the master to a new roster file once the game is released.(we hope.....in the fact that the CPU ROSTER CONTROL trick still works....I tried to get confirmation from the CD guys...but it was too late as they were done already....I will try and ask Ramone or Lorne if it's still there....I think it will be) At any rate there has already been a tremendous amount of work done.....but there is still a lot more to be worked on. This should be a tremendous set....with a tighter work group. Thanks and I'll keep you guys updated! M.K. Knight165 |

When's the ETA? Can you post what you have so far? I'm cool with it not being 100% so just get it out ASAP! Is it done yet? ETA? |

Looking forward to another great set for sure. Phillies minor leagues should be fantastic in the game this year.
Not looking forward to seeing the "when will it be finished" questions a million times until release. Such is The Show forum this time of year though.. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk |

Back for another year. Will give whatever help I can :)
Main source of expertise with the Reds but I know quite a lot about prospects around the majors too. Just let me know what is needed of me. |
re: Operation Sports Full Minors 2016 (No ETA as of 4/6, please don't ask for one)
Cannot wait for this set to come out, you guys always do such phenomenal work. Let me know if you need any help! My main area of knowledge is within the ranks of the Red Sox system but I helped Willard get all accurate contracts into his set last year for 100% of the MLB and a good portion of AAA guys where information was available. Willing to help in whatever way needed this year.

Knight,
What are your thoughts on the importance of a players overall rating? Should we be overly concerned about their OVR as opposed to defining a players skill in individual ratings? I'm afraid I'm not explaining this very well... For instance: If a AA shortstop is a defensive wizard but a light bat, and you input his ratings this way, his OVR may be higher than the shortstop in AAA or even the MJR. The CPU seems to look solely at a players OVR, thus you may find a 20 year old shortstop in AAA while the 30 year old shortstop is in AA or even A ball. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks |

Also, its hard to talk about overall without talking about potential, especially when we start discussing the top prospects, A's and B's, etc. And it gets exceptionally more complicated when discussing ceilings vs floors and the limitations of the current progression system. Patiently waiting for that franchise blog to see how much love franchise gets this year lol |

Checking in to say that I can handle the Royals again.

re: Operation Sports Full Minors 2016 (No ETA as of 4/6, please don't ask for one)
Back for the White Sox as usual.
May I offer a suggestion since it is still fairly early? One of the biggest flaws with last years OSFM in my opinion was player's service time and career stats. We were finally given the ability to carry over rosters - lets use that to it's full potential. With that said, we are now 2 games deep with exporting ability... Can we please make sure that players who removed from MLB 15 & 16 but included in the set have their accurate career stats and service times? This is easily accomplished by exporting the replacement player from a cloud saved franchise into the set. I know it's an absolute PITA to re-create the faces but if we are striving for accuracy this only makes sense. Maybe a few of us can volunteer with helping identify and exporting players into the vault for everyone to use? I would gladly help, but this is not something one person can get done by themselves. Transferring faces is easily accomplished with pictures of each screen. I did this with both Matt Davidson and Rob Brantly. When Brantly was called up, I didn't even have to worry about importing over the OSFM version because his stats and service time were already 100% accurate. Accurate service time is also not that hard to accomplish for players removed 3-4 years back. Just more tedious and time consuming. |

Guys....for those who are working on teams....please P.M. both Willard76 and RidinDwnKingsley.
The 2016 roster has been being worked on for a while now(in 2015 MLBTS obviously) off of your work from last year. If you guys touch base....and tell them what you guys want to work on ....and they will tell you what they have...it will go a lot smoother and less duplicate work. Thanks! M.K. Knight165 |

anybody have a rating calculator that works with google drive?

re: Operation Sports Full Minors 2016 (No ETA as of 4/6, please don't ask for one)
Can we pin this?

Are pitch edits going to be included in the initial roster? I think they came a bit later last year but cannot remember.
Again thanks for everyone already putting in the work! I am anxious to start early this year! |
re: Operation Sports Full Minors 2016 (No ETA as of 4/6, please don't ask for one)
So....for various reasons I prob will be passing on 2016 and stick with 2015.....is there any way or do you guys know of anyone doing an updated roster set for MLB 2015?....

M.K. Knight165[/quote] Thanks for the info! |
re: Operation Sports Full Minors 2016 (No ETA as of 4/6, please don't ask for one)
Can't wait, guys.
Been using OSFM since I believe 2012(?) and now I can't imagine playing the game without it. Should be especially fun this year since my Brewers farm system is actually looking pretty good for the first time in like 8 years. |
re: Operation Sports Full Minors 2016 (No ETA as of 4/6, please don't ask for one)
Oakley, EvoShield, and All Star are the new equipment brands.
Looks like most catcher mitts will get updated. A ton of pitchers and a few position players have all star as a mitt so that looks promising. We don't know if they expanded on current brands or not. |
re: Operation Sports Full Minors 2016 (No ETA as of 4/6, please don't ask for one)
How does the group this year plan on attacking Running Styles? I'd recommend that you do it based on weight (although that seems a bit obvious) and speed stats (i.e. Position, steal numbers, etc.)

Something like this might work - * New running styles are normal, lumbering, speedster and athletic 80-99 (Speedster) 60-79 (Athletic) 40-59 (Normal) 0-39 (Lumbering) |
re: Operation Sports Full Minors 2016 (No ETA as of 4/6, please don't ask for one)
I'd like to see how the running applications actually work.
Should be interesting. I hope there are no lumbering 90 speed guys generated! :) But a speedster motion on a slow *** player might be funny! M.K. Knight165 |

According to the stream and a tweet they did expand on the existing brands in the game.

If you guys need help in any way just let me know and I'd be glad to help. Not the best when it comes to faces, but I can quickly edit equipment and ratings if you need guys for that.

Happy to assist with the Phillies if needed.

I'm waiting to hear from Willard and Ridin' on the status of the '15 file...and what they might need to add in right now.
I'll definitely keep you guys updated. M.K. Knight165 |
re: Operation Sports Full Minors 2016 (No ETA as of 4/6, please don't ask for one)
Phillies picked up Taylor Featherston from the Angels today for cash. I would remove either Scott Kingery or Harold Ramirez to make room for Featherston. The Phillies and Braves will be the most difficult teams to do this year. They have so many players and depending on who they keep a lot of players aren't going to make it into OSFM.

I'm assuming we're supposed to be doing AAA 100% right?
