Re: MLB 2K13 Roster Updates

LOL, zero replies but someone thought enough to give this thread one star.....hmmmmm....seems like you have someone lurking on you, lol.

I did maybe the top ~150 prospects for personal use in my 'chise only, and it's not online, but I can let you know how I rated certain minor leaguers if you want to collaborate on that.

I didn't do any (well not many) living roster updates to real players because I didn't want to upset the balance of the game from the stock rosters. Also, using a month or 2 of stats to completely re-rate a player is too much roster micromanaging.

I did make a couple of edits on some guys who were ridiculously off. Donnie Murphy's power (70s..WAY too high), Andrew Brown's power (70s or 80s...WAY too high) Franklin Gutierrez's speed (92 is too much for him), and basically all of the pitch speeds were off. So I fixed that kind of stuff.

I don't have the time to do any roster projects, but feel free to PM me if you want to know how I rated any minor leaguers for your roster set.

Re: MLB 2K13 Roster Updates

Wish I could help you out but 3 businesses and a family are taking up all my free time....just get an hour or so at night to play. I remember the good old days when I used to spend my whole days doing rosters or playin games. Gettin older sux!

Re: MLB 2K13 Roster Updates

I think I should be able to handle most of the work. I will be using mkharsh's ratings and transferring them with REDitor. I dont know how often I will supply updates but there will be offline links as well as online.

Also if you want a batting stance change or pitcher motion change just post it here also.

Re: MLB 2K13 Roster Updates

Just curious: what will be the ratings that RA Dickey, Matt Cain or other struggling pitchers will get?

Re: MLB 2K13 Roster Updates

I am not really doing the ratings, I am using MK's from his 2K12 file.
So it will be whatever MK wants to give them in his file. The reason I am not doing the ratings is I like the way MK does his and they will be better than what I could possibly do.

Re: MLB 2K13 Roster Updates

Could you tell me about it when you got it? I simply want something to compare different rating methods. I do a PC roster and would like to compare my ratings to others.

Re: MLB 2K13 Roster Updates

The ratings I use in MLB 2K12 will not be perfect - and I've never stated such - I don't have time to dive into all the righty/lefty splits, as that would take hours and hours of time to perfect. But I have a basic formula that I use to develop them where starters have a specific system - then closers - then bullpen guys. The batters use a scaled system where I start with an actual batting percentage, then use the attributes in the game to make comparable assessments to creating them. I have this written down on a notecard that I refer to, but do not have anything in an Excel format to be provided. Again, it's not perfect and I'm sure those who want to criticize it could find many reasons to do so, but it plays out well when I do simulated Franchise Modes, which is what we all pretty much want in the end. Just wanted to provide this information for you guys. Thanks.

Re: MLB 2K13 Roster Updates

I am using a PC roster that had all the teams MLB-A on it and taking the players off there also for players that maybe wanted. but the MLB will be MK's ratings.


I wont have a file up for a little longer possible this weekend I will. (No promises) I still don't have the game thanks to shipping mishaps. I was suppose to have it a day after my first post. NOT very happy with UPS.


Oh and I just want to give a biggggggg thanks to MK for letting me use his ratings.


Also I forgot to put in the first post that this file is for XBOX 360

Re: MLB 2K13 Roster Updates

If someone could supply a 2k13 roster file (preferably the latest one) so I can get started on the file. As my game wont be here for a little while longer.

I didn't want to criticize anything, I was simply curious on how other guys handle it.
For my part I used the updated Zips projections of fangraphs if somebody is interested in it. This worked quite well last year and this year it seems to work well again.
There will always be guys who will talk about ratings being too low or too high but as long as the roster creator has a basic guideline and doesn't give biased ratings everything is fine imo.

Is that how you rate guy in the minors as well? Any specific formula you use?

Fangraphs has (updated) projected 2013 stats for every player with Major League appearances and (not updated) projected 2013 stats for every minor leaguer without Major League appearance. I have something like formulas, yes. I did set up the roster with a excel sheet which uses formulas to calculate ratings (using weighed stats from 2010-2012) and now I am going through the players and adjust them according to the updated Zips projections. Or did you want to ask me which formulas I am using?

Yes that is what I was trying to say but didn't make it clear. I understand if you don't want to reveal how you rate players but I have been trying to get the Cubs minor league teams right and have a hell of a time figuring out how to rate them. Especially pitchers in A ball. I've got all the guys added in, with birthday, skin tones, and mostly correct equipment/stances/deliveries, and have done my best with ratings, but I'm not totally happy with them.

I've seen your set on MVP Mods and like what you've done, but wasn't sure how you got the ratings.
