Re: MLB 11 The Show - Operation Sports Full Minors 2011 (Spring Training Version)

So I'm sure Knight is tired of answering this just like everyone else is, but I haven't had a chance to read this thread in the last few days and it's blown up.

My questions are: If I use these rosters and only control one team, let the CPU control the rest, what happens to the CPU rosters? Will they automatically fill the 40 man at the end of spring training or in the first offseason? The lineups will be messed up correct (ex. Pujols leading off)?

Thanks!

Yes. The CPU will fill the 40 man per whatever algorithm it uses, and also arrange the CPU batting orders as it sees fit.

This is all on page 1 in Knight's conveniently written first post.

I appreciate these roster. The creators are awesome. That said, I do have some constuctive criticism.

1. Why is there so many "A" rated user created players? Some of these guys are like 33 to 39 years old and there is no way they should have "A" potential. For example, Casey Fossum on NY Mets is like 33 years old and in real life he is probably at most a "C" rated player but somehow in these rosters he is rated "A". There any many of these kinds on players on 2/3 of the teams and I had to remove all of them based on unrealistic player ratings.

I think someone mentioned you can export SCEA created players...so maybe this will work for the players you mentioned above? If that's the case it'll take you about 10 minutes to "fix."

This year I was determined to just use SCEA rosters. I spent all last year starting my franchise over and over every time a new roster came out. And I was disappointed, feeling that my Giants farm system was always under-rated and would take too long to progress.

This year I figured I'd wait until the opening day SCEA roster came out and added Brandon Belt. I downloaded it today. Belt was lower rated than I expected and had a pretty generic look and stance. So I downloaded OSFM just to take a look.

Holy cow! This roster this year is amazing. Knight and company, you have completely outdone yourselves. I couldn't believe how much better the minor league rankings look this year. The faces, stances, everything... just amazing. I know the Giants system pretty well, and I have to say, whoever did that team nailed it.

Thanks so much for the wonderful job you all did this year. I couldn't be happier.

Just wondering, what is on tap for future releases? Is there a final OSFM roster to come out before people start on with the pitch/ratings edits for SCEA players?

Thanks again!

Jesus guys. It's on the first page...

3.-The obvious....wait until DAY 1 of the regular season and set the CPU team lineups/rotations....they will stay and only be changed for fatigue.....be aware...you will have to reset them due to injuries for the CPU teams...

So there really is no simple way to to do this then lol.

I haven't heard anything about McPherson being released. I expect him to be in Triple-A for the Sox, especially because there isn't anyone to play 3B at that level. No way that Jon Gilmore skips Double-A. Next few days we should find out for sure though.

Is the latest news but he may end up in AAA as their current roster does not reflect any 3rd basemen.

Steve Holm is with Rochester Red Wings and so is Rene Rivera. In 2003 the Rochester Redwings became the AAA Affiliate of the Minnesota Twins.

Ooops. Was typing to fast and just went Baltimore/Rochester. It used to be so much easier.

Knight, Padres released all their minor league rosters, David Newhan and Mike Koplove don't appear to be found on any of them. Not sure where they are but just a heads up.

Re: MLB 11 The Show - Operation Sports Full Minors 2011 (Spring Training Version)

I created a spreadsheet of all the players to DL and add back to the 40 man rosters if you're using Hustling Owl's 25 man version of these rosters.

Can this link be added to the first post?

[BlingBling19]

Ok now that I know how to do the rosters what do I do to make sure that the other 29 teams are basically CPU teams??

I haven't found a way to to make my team be all manual as far as like facilities and vendors and banking and what not and all the other teams to be on AUTO. I have only found a way to make it be either all manual or all auto.

If somebody could explain this it would be greatly appreciated!
