    Historical 2008 Season In Progress...

    ***Project in hiatus until further notice***


    So I started by working on a 2008 Pittsburgh Pirates roster for my own franchise use, but I have decided to go full on with all 30 teams. This may not be the best historical roster out there but I am going to try to make it playable. I am using existing SECA players and CAPs I can find from various sources out there to simplify the process. So this won't be perfect with ages and such. I am using JTRoster Builder tool to come up with rosters and help out with ratings. I have it planned to be close to a 90man. But I know it won't be perfect. But I can guarantee it will be better than most of the 2000's rosters from '14 that have been posted on the vault.

    I will keep this thread updated as I make progress.

    So far I have the Pirates pretty much complete. I have The existing players from the base roster I am using transferred for Baltimore, Boston and New York Yankees so far.

    Note: If you see any of your CAPs or don't want any of your CAPs used please let me know. I will try and give credit to wherever I find good CAPs. And if you have any good CAPs from that era and want to contribute them let me know!! I could always use good CAPs.

    Update 6/26 4am: I am through the AL East and the White Sox. I have all the players from the base roster moved to those teams as they should be. And the remainder or their 90-mans generic'd out. Making progress.....

    Update 7/22 5AM: AL all moved to correct teams. WIP Google sheet can be found here:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

    Update 7/25 4:30AM: More work done moving players. Updated google sheet

    Update 7/26 4:08AM: Lots done. Got all the way to Cincinnati, Pittsburgh was already completed pretty close. Making progress.

    Update 7/27 2:27AM: Down to 2 teams to do player transfers. SD and SF. Then fix Free Agents.

    Update 7/28 4:23AM: All players moved to 2008 teams. All non 2008 players generic'd out. Free agents all generic except a few who were in Japan or hurt in 2008, etc. Need to go through Pittsburgh sometime. Uploaded a very beta preview to the vault. PSN: KingJeremy666 Roster: 2008 Very Beta.

    Not that it really matters much in the grand scheme but will Glavine & Smoltz be included w/Atl.? Thanks!

      They are on the roster list I have for the Braves and I have found some really good CAPs of them from another historical roster so the answer is YES, with almost a 100% probability.

          So time for an update. I have been slacking on making rosters. But I did a bunch recently. Got up to Oakland's guys transferred over and the non 2008 guys from them generic-ed out. Three teams left in the AL then onto the NL.

              I know I have not updated this in a while. But I have all of the players from the base roster I am using to the correct teams for all of the American League. Was able to do three teams today. This hurts the eyes and is so tedious. But I will push on this and not play other video games for a while. Oh and I also linked a google sheet that I am using for the roster set. All the yellow highlights are guys that have been moved. If they are in white then they are not in the base I am using and I will have to either create or find these players from other sources.

                  Lots of progress. Almost done with player transfers on the base roster. I have SD and SF left to do. Pittsburgh shows nothing done on the worksheet but they are probably more done then any other team. After that I ave to go through Free Agents and get rid of anyone not around in 2008. I may release a Beta roster for people to preview. If there is interest.

                    All teams players moved to correct 2008 team. All non 2008 players generic'd out. Free agents all generic except a few who played in Japan or hurt etc. Uploaded a Beta preview to the vault.

                    Pirates are going to be a bit off. I redid their hole roster first a full 90-man except some of their faces. There are a couple of Pirates in FA as I need to re-look at their roster composition.

                    Ratings are NOT done. Lineups, 40-man, 25-man etc are NOT done.

                    Next on the agenda: Find as many of the older players from other rosters, import them and get service time close to 2008.

                      I am in the process of doing service time for players not on the base roster I used. It's a long process but I think its worth it. Would love to have someone who is a good face maker help out with the CAPs sometime as I am average at best making faces. Looking for volunteers soon to make faces ONLY. The stats and service time I can do.

                          The roster is going. Going very slowly. Getting semi-accurate service time and career stats takes time. And I am the ONLY one working on this, I have no help or anything from anyone. Plus I only have you and one other person showing any interest so its been less of a priority for me lately.

                            Project in hiatus. Life happens. No interest from the community. Maybe I will pick it back up again some other time.

                              Don't take the lack of interest personally. I think the main reason for lack of interest is due to 2008 being recent history. Most of us historical junkies are older and we want to revisit our youth of the 60s, 70s, and 80s and get reacquainted with the lore of guys previous to those years as well.
                              Steelers, Penguins, Penn State, Pirates, Red Sox, Manchester United.
