Re: MLB The Show 2013- Operation Sports Full Minors V.2-Opening Day Edition

You can't upload franchises into the roster vault. Roster vault is for rosters, franchise files are . . . not rosters.

So explain something to me, if we download that Franchise file, do we not have to do all the bullcrap moving players around in order to start a Season? I'm itching to play but the prospect of having to sit down for HOURS, re-ordering rosters, is intimidating for me.

The franchise file Knight made has all the moving done already (It's just a save file from his franchise at the end of spring training with movements and disabled list completed)

Right, so if I download that file, what do I do? If I progress to the start of the season, will it not automatically jumble up all the players again? Apologies for the questions, but I'm an older type gamer (pushin' 40) and I'm out of touch with the roster stuff on this title. It seems a bit daunting to me but I thank you sincerely for helping.

It will not. I have already sent the players to the appropriate levels.
Just note...I did make an error on the teams that played on March 31st....I skipped to April to make the lineups and rotations...so those teams are off with one lineup(possibly) and the pitchers are off in the rotation by one man(the order)

Just make sure that you make two profiles as noted....(they don't save with the franchise...you make them.)

One with yours....one with the CPU setup to AUTO(EXCEPT lineups/rotations.....waivers and roster moves...JUST until the third day of the season(there are two or three players on waivers)....after they pass...put those options(waivers and roster moves) to auto if you want)

Just assign your two profiles to the appropriate teams for your liking(you'll see I have custom 2 to the Mets and custom 1 for the other teams(or vice versa).....so assign your manual profile to your team...and the auto(except!....lineups..etc) to the other teams...

After that it's up to you how you want to play it out.

Bless you guys, I mean that, the time you folks devote to helping people, I can't even begin to make you understand how important that is to us. You roster editors truly are an asset to the gaming community. Thank you.

Silly to see Baez as a 67 and Lindor as a 73. I realize authentic doesn't like Baez (he wanted Baez to have a B potential for crying out loud, smh), but he's one guy and all of the prospect rankings love Baez, having him as easily the Cubs best prospect. He should be rated much higher, it's silly we are still having this debate.

He's a high A potential (I think tier 7 or 8)... he's in A ball... seriously, why are you judging by OVR?

Lindor is closer to the bigs than Baez and probably a bit safer, hence, higher OVR. Baez has a way higher ceiling, hence, higher potential. Baez is by no means underrated lol.

Plus, and I may be wrong on this one, I doubt this has anything to do with Authentic. I assume that his ratings were calculated using Knight's chart.

So Lindor is younger than Baez, playing at the same level, and other than his plate discipline has put up pretty pathetic offensive numbers, but he's the "closer" player? I think if you look at their ETA's, Baez is probably closer than Lindor.

I agree he's safer, assuming you mean more likely to hit his peak, because his peak isn't that hard to hit and as you pointed out, nowhere near Baez's.

Anyway, given that Lindor kind of stunk it up with the bat (besides his plate discipline like I said), and Baez crushed last year, I just feel he should have the higher OVR (representing his current ability).

I assume Lindor's fielding numbers are higher than Baez's? This is probably why he's a.) closer and b.) rated higher

Exactly what I'm talking about re: safety. This is why they're rated like they were.

Having plate discipline is a huge skill, especially for such a young hitter, a shortstop no less. OVR is NOT representative of current ability. I'm sure if you looked at individual attributes you'd be much happier.

I'm sure if you looked at individual attributes you'd be much happier.

And if not, there's always the Edit Player function in each users game. It's hard to make a roster where you nail every player perfect according to every users own experience and expectations of a player

Re: MLB 13 The Show - Operation Sports Full Minors 2013: Edition v.2 - Opening Day

If you put Baez, Lindor, and Addison Russell on the same team and sort by potential, Baez is on top with Russell second and Lindor third, even though at 19 years old, Lindor is rated (OVL) higher than the others.

The guy hitting .346 with 6 XBH, 7 steals, more walks then strikeouts in 14 games is putting up pathetic offensive #'s ?

In a near 40 game sample, Baez is hitting below the Mendoza line with 7 walks and 42 Ks in High A. I love Baez, more so then most Cubs fans but at some point he's gotta put up the #'s to match the tools. Lindor is certainly the superior player at this point, despite Baez's enormous ceiling.

I was just wondering why Randy Ruiz on the White Sox's double A team has 87 power versus lefties LOL? He's 35 years old, a career minor leaguer, and he has only played in 52 MLB games (with 5 HRs). Granted, he looks like he has some power, considering he has hit 20-25+ HRs almost every season in the minors, but 87 power, with 77 contact against lefties seems utterly ridiculous. Sorry if this comes off a bit snide or douchy, but I saw this and laughed harder than I have in a long time.

If that makes you laugh harder than you have in a long time.

You need to get out more.

In a terribly small sample, Ruiz *does* own a .217 ISO, for whatever it's worth lol. I remember him on the Jays. Good times..
