Re: MLB '10 The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors v.3

once again. For the next update (v4) make Donavan Tate a Right Handed Batter please. Just informing everyone else, I already made the change in my game

Also on the Padres, SS Lance Zawadzki has a Z after the D. In game its spelt "Zawadski"

I'm doing a test-run with this franchise file and the minimum adjustment sliders on the 1st page.

My 1st game was vs. STL, and Carpenter went 98 pitches and was pulled in the 8th after allowing a hit to put the tying run on base. Harang made it 7 on 85 pitches or so. Seemed pretty good to me. I could tell Carpenter was capable of more work than Harang from their relative performances.

JaSnake, do you plan on making small corrections like these?

Re: MLB '10 The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors v.3

I admit, Zawadzki is a small correct but Tate is a big one in my book

I think that corrections like those should be publicly noted because most people want everything as correct and accurate as possible. As a roster maker, I openly welcome any corrections and suggestions, especially very easy to overlook mistakes like those.

Re: MLB '10 The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors v.3

I wanted to chime in on the suggested slider adjustments on page one.

Setting CPU Strike Frequency to zero may be a detriment over the long term; more so if the goal is to get pitchers to the later innings on realistic pitch counts.

Keep in mind that this slider is what determines the CPU pitchers 'intent' on throwing a ball vs. a strike, not if the pitch ends up a ball (do to poor control, lower consistency, poor confidence, or the pitcher being gassed.) It's like taking the effect and making it the cause.

If anything, you'll want the strike frequency closer to 3,4, or 5 to get the effect forum users are requesting. The CPU SHOULD be throwing more early pitches for strikes, (than you'll see at SF at 0) putting it on the USER to make him throw balls, foul pitches, or draw walks. If the argument is that if the CPU throws to many 'hittable' pitches, than the USER needs to look at their hitting sliders to see why they are able to hit strikes so easily. Be it increasing pitch speed, lowering contact, or going up in difficulty, lowering strike frequency will actually make the stanima effect discussed here worse.

Getting the CPU to throw balls although derivative of ratings (BB/9) is a game trait the USER should be tasked with. The inverse on the HUM pitching (CPU hitting) side is just as true as well.

Update: Cubs are done, did them this morning before work. Rest of NL hopefully tonight. Got in touch with Razr, I edited the pitch speeds on Ollie Perez and John Maine. Now they suck like they should LOL .

Cubs fans: Tyler Colvin, definitely better now from SCEA stock. I dont remember how much better I made him but I didnt turn him into a .300 / 30 guy cause he may turn into that but I dont think he will be one this year (or I could eat crow and he will be). TD if you see this before I get to you, didnt want to bother you at 6:00 AM, reach out buddy.

Can you make sure Stephen Strasburg has his sound file for his last name?

I can definitely make the adjustment but I really am not looking at Names, Numbers etc. Also remember I am sending the file back to Knight prior to release and I think he had some subtle changes that he was looking to make as far as players.

Franchise PM me this so I remember when I get to the Padres.

Re: MLB '10 The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors v.3

I also want to reiterate what TD mentioned a couple of pages back. If you want to send us a shout on certain players that are under / over rated, please I ask (beg) for you to do so. Listen Im from New York, Im a Yankee fan, in multiple big money fantasy leagues and an avid baseball fan in general. TD is a Cincinatti guy with the same background. That being said we dont know everything that is going on with every player. I just got a PM from NKrause with some input on some Rockies which is truly helpful (big props NKrause). If you have some helpful input on players PM me. And please try to keep the homerism to a minimum even I do that (damn Red Sox LMAO).

sweetness (rubs hands together) this means the Yankees are gonna be Acker-rite!


what do you think of my observations....

peeps like swish and gardner, both new for 2010 .300 hitters.
cervilli, should be more the speedster that he is around the bases instead of having speed rating 27... too close to Posada 22...
cano...well, better fielder than scea rates him. and clutch of 51 too low now.

for pitchers... not sure about hughes and pettitte get the same '62' clutch rating. i think pettitte should be higher than hughes. note, AJ listed at 66.

for hughes his curve ball, it's supposed to be a knuckle curve. on v3 it's listed as a 12-6. Also the control of 51, seems too low for me. (It's under better control than AJ, listed sweeping curve at 54 btw) he had one of the better benders in the minors even after i think only being taught/told to develop the pitch after signing w/ the Yankees, to do away with his slider.

another thing, curve12-6 break hughes: 73 vs curveweeping break AJ: 61.
AJ has one of the 'deadliest' benders in the game MLB. He just can't be consistent w/ its control from start to start

i think hughes break rating could be fine, just that AJ's needs even more break than hughes

(wish SCEA could do a attribute about the variability of the consistency of control of a pitch).

on the other hand, arod and tex get some downgrades

Re: MLB '10 The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors v.3

Pittsburgh Pirates edits: (thank god you haven't finished them yet lol)

Paul Maholm, SP
-he probably doesn't need too much of a tweak, but his stamina is a bit too low in my opinion, and his H/9 needs to be tweaked up a little bit. otherwise, he is pretty spot on

Ross Ohlendorf, SP
-again, i believe his stamina is a bit too low, and his H/9, K/9, and BB/9 should be tweaked up. his HR/9 shouldn't be touched, maybe even lowered because he gives up too many long balls.

Jeff Karstens, SP
-he always has looked decent. his stamina is way way too low, like a reliever. almost every start he makes, he goes 6.0 IP. maybe tweak up his main attributes, otherwise, he is fine.

Brad Lincoln, SP
-he doesn't need much of a tweak, but i think that his stamina and other main attributes should probably be raised a little.

Octavio Dotel, CP
-his K/9 needs to be lowered a little because he gets some K's, but not that many. his H/9 definitely needs to be lowered because it seems like every time he comes in, he at least gives up a base hit. so overall, a little bit of a lowering for Mr. Dotel.

Wilfredo Ledezma, CP
-I don't know why but since the pitch edits, his attributes have been raised too high in my opinion. he needs a bit of a lowering all around.

Akinori Iwamura, 2B
-as i'm sure you understand, he probably needs a bit of a lowering all around, especially in the contact area.

Ronny Cedeno, SS
-i believe that Mr. Cedeno needs a boost in the contact area because he has shown this season that he can get decent contact against both LHP and RHP. and maybe a little boost on his fielding ability too.

Lastings Milledge, LF
-he is now our primary RF as long as Tabata is in the lineup. his speed definitely needs to be lowered a bit, and his power too. his contact may need a little bit of a lowering.

Andrew McCutchen, CF
-he is pretty much spot on, except for his speed. he definitely needs a boost in speed to maybe almost all the way up because he is an elite speedster. his BR ability and aggressiveness also needs a boost.

Delwyn Young, RF
-he needs just a little boost in pretty much all fields in my eyes. he is real clutch and a good fielder, except at 3B lol.

Jose Tabata, RF
-he is actually the everyday starting LF now since being called up, and he will most likely lead off everyday. his contact against both LHP and RHP needs to be raised for sure, his BR aggressiveness needs a boost, and maybe a little on fielding.

i think that's about it for the Pittsburgh Pirates lol. i hope this helps!

Some nice adjustments. Especially Cano's fielding, Well almost everything
about Cano should be bumped up. He's the real deal.

AROD and Tex could probably use a slight downgrade in power numbers
but I think that could happen almost across the board with all big time
power hitters of the last 5 years. A lot of HR numbers are coming back
to earth where 30 - 40 a year is excellent and above that extra ordinary.

Of course being a Yankees fan I always think game writers are Red Sox
fans. If you look at the overall defaults of this year's SCEA teams they
have the Red Sox rated higher than the Yankees. hmmmm... who won
the WS last year? hmmm... "*(no flames please. just having a little fun)

On a side note to the other Yankees fans here, every time I start a new
franchise with the latest set of rosters I immediately offer the Angels
Randy Winn for Matsui in a streight up trade. So far they have excepted
the trade every time. Once it took them almost a week but still accepted
the trade. So at least in the video game I can correct some of Cashman's
er, uh, less fortunate moves, shall we say.

Re: MLB '10 The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors v.3

guys...we are not adjusting stamina...if you do not like the edits change them as you see fit or use banzho's program...outside of that all of those suggestions are good guys, Ja and I appreciate them greatly! keep it goin

what do you think of my observations....

It's not often I agree with a Yankees fan , but I have to agree with most of these edits! I think Swisher's ratings are mostly fine and Cano's fielding is actually accurate IMHO, but most of the others make sense, including boosting Cano's clutch and boosting those pitching ratings.

Now onto my beloved Red Sox. C'mon we've been banished to third place, we need some love!

I downloaded Bahnzo's edited roster to see some of the potential changes, since I'm assuming his roster is similar to the rerates, and I really hope these are addressed. Please!!! I beg!

-Beltre should get an ever so slight boost to offense... I mean, he is one of the AL batting average leaders. It's probably an aberration, so that's why I say ever so slight, but still it's there.

-Papi needs slightly higher power... his connect R is still lower than years past, but in May he hit the fourth longest HR in Comerica Park history, a 450 foot blast to the part of the ballpark nobody had ever homered in... not to mention hitting more HR's than any other player in the month. That's pretty significant.

-Martinez needs higher power... in Bahnzo's edited roster, he had power in the low 20's... his power less than Pedroia's? Martinez is a 20+ HR a season kind of guy, that one is crazy. V-Mart has hit several bombs to center field in Fenway, no way should his power be that low.

Other than that I think my team is fairly well represented as is... sorry for the homerism! Just I really love my team, I think you can understand that!
