Hello All!

There have been a few of you who've followed my progress in completing the next installment of my fictional roster. For those who have not followed along, let me give you the run down.

I first got into MLB The Show back in 2014. I've always enjoyed playing my sports games as if it were a parallel universe. At the time, I couldn't find a fictional roster that suited me and didn't see that changing. With that, I decided to go ahead with the daunting task of single-handedly making a roster from scratch. After months of work, I was able to complete my first ever fictional set, but by the time it was done, the next game was already on its way! There were many flaws, as you could imagine, but I didn't know where to start to fix them. I only did minor adjustments in the next set, but found I was still unsatisfied with my own work so I decided to take a year and figure out the best way to go about this task.

This current project actually got started back in August of last year. I completely did away with my previous work and started from scratch. The process of creating players, finding the best team placements, editing equipment and contracts, took about 6 months! Unfortunately, because of the completely revamped player model in 17', the process will have to be prolonged. Further player editing is in order before the roster's unveiling, but I'm willing to put in the time to make sure this project is perfect.

Now, I can't promise a certain time frame due to my inconsistent schedule, but I will document my progress through this thread. When a team is complete, I will post a complete analysis (of that team) to give you an in-depth feel for the roster. My goal is for you to completely be submerged in this fictional world that you'll know these players as if they were real.

So, my progress will begin with the Baltimore Orioles and end with the San Francisco Giants. The moment when the Giants analysis is complete, so will the roster! If you have any questions regarding my methods, my thought process, or anything of that nature, please feel free to ask. Hopefully some of you will follow along and I hope all of you that do, will enjoy the ride! Thanks!

Here are some of my previous works throughout my time on OSFM:

****UPDATE 06/16/2017****:

For all you loyal followers...I finally give you my completed 2017 Fictional Roster!

You can find this in the roster vault under the name: justmunc Fictional 17

If you enjoy the roster, I would greatly appreciate positive ratings in the roster vault so more gamers can find it! I also greatly appreciate any type of comments, suggestions, or even updates on your own experiences! Thank you guys

****UPDATE 06/18/2017****

Here is a link to walk-up songs for every position player on each 40-man roster. This was done a few months ago so newer songs may not be featured.
