What is Michael Fulmer's rating in the roster. SP prospect for Tigers

How does the team handle rating players who surprise early on in the spring and once the regular season begins, a la Joey Rickard?

Well it's tricky but we take early season success and combine it with historical data, our Trevor Story is lower

How many people do you have working on OSFM? And how many man-hours you think you all will have logged to finish it?

I would say right now 5-6 people but overall probably 20-25 since this is based on last year as well

Where do you guys get the info to create players windups, stances..ect

Video, pictures, MLB tv and Milb tv

nomar mazara screenshot? And is Jurikson Profar in AAA?

He (Profar) is in A on our set

what is the highest overall player you imported and what is jp crawford potential

Crawford is an A potential

are there any international players in the FA pool? Or is there a plan to have any added later?

Some are in, more will probably be added later, FA pool will be all real players

JOSE BERRIOS potential??

A

What do you use as your base set? Do you use the default roster, or the release date update?

We used the first update, not this last one

are all contracts fixed as well?

Contracts are adjusted for realistic play

Whats the hardest part about making the rosters?

Finding the time, juggling it with work, family and everything else as well as coordinating with guys all over

how many players are left to be made?

All players are made, we are working on importing and setting levels as well as testing

Is Jurikson Profar in the Rangers and what is his potential and overall?

He is in.

Do y'all go through the trouble of setting up the name audio/birthplace for all of your created players?

Yes we do

when there's one spot left on a team and you want player x in the set and another person wants player y how is that decided?

It's always a challenge , we try to be fair and get the truest form of reality in

will rosters be set to 25 or 40 man?

25 but we will also release a 40 man

Julio Urias in?

Yes and he looks great, https://twitter.com/Sackmanj/status/721165684609261568

How difficult is it to balance out your roster creations with future SCEA fictional draft picks?

This roster balances that well

why is iaking longer than ever for release then. Already 6 days longer than last year

More attention to detail and we won't release a bad product

DelLeon?

He's in

90 players per team including scea guys rite? So roughly 50-60 created players per team?

Correct plus almost 200 FA's to sort through

is Jhailyn Ortiz in the roster?

He is in

how does Dillon Tate look?

Fantastic

How do you decide potential on guys whose ETA is 2-3 years away yet?

Baseball America and other resources

How do you know how to adjust each players stats to achieve realistic sims?

Hours and hours of testing

Re: MLB The Show 16 OSFM Twitter Q&A With Our Very Own RidinDwnKingsely Tomorrow Nigh

I'm aiming for early next week. A lot of guys let their hope take over for rationale.

80% done, and that's if they work on these over the weekend. If not.. mid next week.

That was 2 day ago, I'm sure they're a little further but I agree I wouldn't count on it this weekend, the best way is to always look at worst case

He already said on Twitter they won't be before the Q&A

Re: MLB The Show 16 OSFM Twitter Q&A With Our Very Own RidinDwnKingsely Tomorrow Nigh

I really hope it comes out this weekend. I have done a couple of "test" franchises to get my settings right and now I am ready to rock and roll with a real one.

Wouldnt it make more sense to have a Q&A after something is released... Kind of missing the point... We dont even know anything about these rosters pretty sure the only Q people have at this point is the one that will get us banned.

If I had to guess its gonna be to ask about specific players and their ratings. Things to that nature.
