All Time MLB 2k12 Rosters

Re: All Time MLB 2k12 Rosters

Solid list tm_psycho, but there are a few that I think are missing off that PDF as well...

CF/RF - W. McGee
CF - C. Flood
CF - R. Lankford even has to be a consideration
LF - V. Coleman
2B - T. Herr
C - T. McCarver
P - Andujar
P - Forsch
P - Morris

As a Cardinals fan myself, I would love to see Pujols left off this list as A) he is currently active on the Angels and B) I have yet to forgive him for chasing a few more bucks vs being a lifetime Cardinal (how much money do you really need?) - I would rather see McGuire, Hernandez (probably has to be on the Mets roster tho), Jack Clark or you could just move Stan Musial to 1B, as he played a ton of 1B for the Cardinals during his career and start Enos in RF.

Cardinals had so many great players, especially in the OF - making an all-time Red Birds team needs to make use of AAA as well (at least)!

That's the beauty of a project like this, the debate. When I build a team I like to have on the bench 2 OF, 1 corner IF, 1 middle IF, 1 C. There is so much talent at 2B, I decided to give up say Scott Rolen to carry 3 second baggers. None of the OF mentioned I can justify replacing any of the 5 on the roster...though there has been much debate about including McGee and/or Flood. I've thought about making a 40-man roster to include the guys that don't quite make the cut.

I love the balance in the lineup and especially the bench - 2 high OBP switch hitters, 1 big RBI RH bat, 1 good LH bat. Red and Country serve as IF and OF defensive replacements, Frisch can pinch run, etc.

Obviously the pitching staff is the most debatable. Was Carlton good enough before moving to PHI to also make the STL team? Did Tudor contribute long enough? Cooper was basically a 2-pitch pitcher, should he be in the rotation? Hey, where's Forsch? This could go on forever.

After crunching numbers and reviewing scouting reports for years, this is my current version. Maybe I'll upload to 2KShare if I ever finish.

I dont actually have any sort of formula, I'm using people I know that were on the team that did well. If I dont know the team or the players very well, then I'll go by statistics or by sheer games played with a team. One thing I decided to do that I usually dont is put the same player on multiple teams. I tried to adjust it to the different points in their careers, so Its more life-like

The way I think it should be done, is we should put each player on the team that they played on the most or the team they are inducted into the Hall of Fame for.

My only problem with that is that with the free agent era there are people who had very long and illustrious careers with multiple teams, like A-Rod, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Steve Carlton, Jose Canseco, etc. I think that they deserve places on multiple teams.

That's true. But I'm just not a big fan of having players on multiple teams.

Thats understandable, also would someone else reading the thread be willing to work out detailed ratings for a certain division? I've got the AL East done and Posted, but we need the rest of the divisions. If someone is interested, I'll put up the roster and the overalls.

Re: All Time MLB 2k12 Rosters

Hey Jaund how is the AL East looking?

Its looking good. I've been busy lately so I've only done the Yanks and RedSox but I'll get on it ASAP

Re: All Time MLB 2k12 Rosters

Great News! I finally got a hold of a working Xbox and MLB 2K12! Juand, if you can upload what you have to 2KShare, I'll get working on the rest of the rosters.... it will be easier I think than all the work on excel and whatnot.

Re: All Time MLB 2k12 Rosters

Only one thing I would do or think about is switching Sutter and Smith as Smith was a Cubs star and Sutter was a Cardinals star.

Re: All Time MLB 2k12 Rosters

Hey nice going. Can't wait 'till they are out!

Re: All Time MLB 2k12 Rosters

Hey one thing... Are you making the overalls by the players or compared to the other all time greats because I think Goose Gossage should be a little higher.
