1987 90-Man Port

[Phil Parent]

I'll be porting Jemeyers/Jethrotull's great 1987 90-Man roster to MLB 16.

This will be a straight port, export / import job. I won't modify it. But once the port is done, anybody will be welcome to fix it any way they see fit HOWEVER, most agree that this is one of the best mods ever made, so I'm thinking the fix would have to do with the following.

- Fix Lineups
- Fix Birthplaces
- Fix bugs introduced by the porting process.
- Remove duplicate players (Marc Hill, Tom Magrann, Greg Olson (catcher), Bruce Bochte...)
- Fix the age of players in Free Agency / Expansion Teams

Other than that, it might be messing with things that shouldn't be messed with.

Out of curiosity, do you have a sense yet of how long this will take?

Re: 1987 90-Man Port

I just completed importing in the closing pitchers.

I'm also working 3 days a week...

Two weeks?

That.... is just, awesome. Thanks!
I actually wouldn't have minded waiting well past the allstar break, they are well worth the wait.
Phil, you da man!

Wow! That's awesome.

I can't think of any way to help, but if there's anything to be done I'm happy to volunteer.

Yes, and thank you!!!! We have been doing the roster since 2011, you guys remember before the patch we could import actual player faces that were now coaches?? The 1987 set last year took me months to complete. Phil did you use the roster I posted Monday night to the MLB 15 Vault to start the CPU roster control vault with to export? If you didn't no worries, I added a few players, I can simply import them in. Again, much appreciated, hopefully next year they will let each user move 1 roster forward. Looking forward to your 94 set again as well!

When you port some of the players equipment changes but i can certainly correct it once you are done with it, again thank you!

Thanks again!

Yeah, I'm using the most recent file!

I've completed importing the closers and I'm half way through importing the catchers, I'll definitively have this done within two weeks.

Re: 1987 90-Man Port

Catchers are done.

Now doing, first basemen!

While I'm doing this, I'm also uploading single players to the Vault, basically everyone rated 85 or above. Look up my username PhilParent.

Service to the community. I'll do the same with OS94.

Re: 1987 90-Man Port

How are you crushing through this so fast? I swear it took me two and a half hours last year to do two teams.

It's amazing

Seriously, are you the Terminator? Thanks for doing this!

Re: 1987 90-Man Port

2Bs are in.

Starting 3Bs.

I cut lots of corners to do it fast. Like filenames for exemple. If I can make it just PLAYER + a letter identifying the team + a number for depth chart order of the player, then that's just two characters I have to add per name.
