    OSFM Hybrid Roster - 2012 Offseason Updates

    I am currently working on an update to my OSFM Hybrid that will be posted as a Franchise File with the 2012 full season simulated and all roster moves - Free Agents placed in the FA Pool, Trades and of course Free Agent Signings.


    Right now I can't forcast a completion date - but stay tuned to this thread if you are looking to use your favorite teams roster or maybe want to pick up where your teams GM is and sign/trade for your own players to begin 2013.


    As I always have said - no roster is perfect but I have based this off my last release of the OSFM Hybrid and most importantly - Enjoy!

    As per most recent post - here is the latest updated roster followed by instructions

    You need to just download the file from this link -



    Unzip the file and copy via a flashdrive to your PS3 Game Data folder

    For those of you who have not used 30 team control as of yet here is a simple explanation of what you need to do to continue on in your Franchise and begin 2013.

    1. Open the Franchise

    2. Go to Settings

    3. Under User 1 go to File Settings and select your favorite team and set it to user 1 - All Teams are currently set up for User 2

    4. Next set up your own sliders to how you want to play - they are currently set on rookie

    5. Set up user 2 profile to everything Auto except Lineups (I will expalin lower)

    6. Set up user 1 profile to manual for all day to day team functions - it is your choice if you want to set up banking, transportation, training to manual or auto

    7. Use the back button and make sure you select "apply changes"

    8. You can now go to the schedule - it is Feb 27 and you basically have 2 days to manage contracts to sign any free agents you would like to fill the remaining holes for your team's roster - there are many on every team because of the accurate minor league free agents. Also make sure you renew any contracts that need renewal for your team - not all players accepted the offers I gave them. You can also choose to fill holes for other teams if you would like to ensure some realism

    9. I would recommend you review other team rosters/lineups either during Spring Training or before the end of it. Chances are guys will be playing out of position on some teams because that is what the CPU does.

    Sounds great, I tried something similar, well getting a franchise with all the FA's right, my problem was all of the retirements

      I got lucky with the retirements - most are guys who actually retired. Should have this ready to go in a few days. I have all players in the free agent pool now including over 300 minor league free agents, I am now making actual contract offers to players and catching up with trades - you have to wait several days on the schedule for players to accept offers.

        Thank you for doing this, I'm looking forward to it. Somebody did this last year too, it really helps me stay with the game during the winter months.

            Halfway there, maybe more - biggest issue is trades because you can't trade a player who doesn't have a contract and for anyone who has done the offseason sometimes it takes a month of the offseason if not more for players to accept team offers, plus adding all the non roster and minor league signings are taking time. If I get time today I am hoping to get close to being finished.

                  K guys - I would say I am 3/4 of the way there, maybe a little less.

                  I am running into issues with the MLB.com transactions site and it not being accurate or up to date - so I may miss some minor league pick ups and I am being slowed down by finding players missed as I update teams.

                  Should be done by the end of the week if everything goes right.

                  Some highlights of what I am doing with this thing;

                  I also am doing contracts accurate to the real ones guys sign unless the IRL contract is less then what the player expects in the game with the ignore budget option. I am bumping up contracts on most renewable players to insure they sign and then I can make trades.

                  As for retired players - as I mentioned, we got lucky and didn't lose a ton of superstars this time around, Arod is the biggest name and he probably won't play in 2013 anyway.

                  My next update will be once I get further along in the process, all I ask is please be patient - this is not a simple process

                    As promised, here is an update - I found about 4 hours this afternoon to get right into this thing. About 97% there, just need to finalize some trades and waiver claims.

                    Once that is done, I am going to skim through the rosters and update any ratings that may have been adjusted in the wrong direction with player progression.

                    I am aiming for Thursday for the 1st release - hoping the Youk and Reynolds signings will be finalized by then.

                    This will only be available by downloading the link and uploading to your Ps3 via flashdrive.

                    If you have any questions, please feel free to post on here.

                        Looking forward to these. Is there any way you can make Aroldis Chapman's stamina enough to make him a starting pitcher? I think the Reds intend on moving him to the rotation this year. There were a lot of rosters last year that had Chapman's stamina really low because he was a closer, but it should be much higher because he was brought to Cinci to be a starter from day 1. Thanks in advance.
                        No images in your sig, thanks.

                          I assume this is for 30-team control, correct?

                            Can't wait for the release today, just wondering if the franchise file will be current as of today?

                              I am aiming at something for tonight, all the moves in the last day have slowed down the process. It will be 30 team control - i will explain what to do with the release
