2023 off season roster

[ninertravel]

Just like last year I am going to work on doing a 2023 roster with update service time and contracts and move free agent players to free agents list and replace them with a 'open slot' spot in Class A to move players around when signings happen (big job real pain but it is worth it in the end)

and Like last year (though thank god no lockout this year) will aim to get the first one out December 1st and do weekly updates.. I don't expect free agency to be fast and fun like it was last year so will be much easier to update daily! I remember last year spending 4 hours a night.

Now the big choice I have to make is what roster base to use. I would prefer to use one with tatis actually in a roster so I may have to go with a older roster. but that is ok because face scans audio always stay up to date no matter what roster you have.


UPDATE

Thanks to Franch1se he has done all the work this year!
Myk13 IS the PSN to download his latest off season rosters with the latest transactions updated contracts for those moves and rookies of last year updated service time.

truesim's rosters are the best

Yeah it is good only problem is that roster goes WAY back to April doesn't it like opening day rosters?? that would require one hell of a lot of work!

I am just gonna wait a few days to get club options out of the way first. it is gonna be a slog early on

and I need to find retired players list too to erase and start creating those empty slot files to replace with free agents... it's just the way the annoying system is it takes time to start it off.

Starting to update ratings for MLB 23, so a spreadsheet is coming.

Not sure if you'd want to use those ratings with whatever roster base you're using.

Re: 2023 off season roster

Well guys because there has been virtually no free agent movement apart a couple of small signings I don't even know if it is worth releasing something this off season quite yet anyway. . we got spoiled last year. as this time last year we were 2 days away from the lockout and things were going crazy.

I would say Jan we are looking at for any big signings to happen now.
so I am thinking I should move my efforts into 23 and use that spreadsheet when the game comes out (lets hope in late March) with the truesim project and help out there.

There might be a lot that happens the rest of this week/next week during the GM meetings. We will see.

Re: 2023 off season roster

Now that movement is happening I am tempted to actually now do a off season roster for the new year, sitting at home with Covid I do have some free time this week.

The only issue is unlike the last 2 years I really am not set on playing it in the offseason knowing I really want to wait for 23 to start a new one with the new playoff system and schedules, that is the ONLY thing holding me back, if they said Y2Y saves were happening I would start today to make it perfect.

we usually don't get any info till after the super bowl so that would be mid Feb.

I have been working on one myself as moves happen (I mostly play exhibition so I really have only done position player changes so far and I just make sure to use starting pitchers on the team currently). I have been using the site Roster Resource. Thinking about pushing through and making all the pitching adds and subtractions soon. I can't remember what the base was for this roster but I'm like 99% sure it was the OSFM post-trade deadline roster.

The only problem is, this would strictly be for Exhibition use only as you will see random players on random teams' minor league teams and I am not even messing with the lineups in the minors. But the MLB team would be current.

Sorry you've got covid man, I've had it twice and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Hope you start to feel better soon.

As for the roster, it's really up to your discretion tbh. I'm probably sticking with 22 unless SDS *really* blows me away with their content reveals for 23, so I can say with certainty that I and others who feel the same would appreciate anyone doing any work for a 23 season roster.

I'm sure that someone will put one out if you don't, it seems like a lot of people are on the "wait and see" train with The Show this upcoming iteration.

Yeah the time consuming part is editing the service time and contracts. I remember last year that took me hours of work. the line-ups is the last thing to do, the swapping and moving players around and the fact the A Class players don't show to swap is a real pain in the ***!! that is why the lineups are always left till last you have to move a class A guy to AA just for him to show to move around therefore then screwing your lineups. it drove me nuts last year to the point of wasting time to do lineups everytime

Yeah, I'm not even going to worry about service time and contracts. It's strictly to tide myself (and others if I decide to release it) until the release of '23. People will see random players I just needed to move be able to add players on teams. It's already bitten me a couple of times and I had to use the "Player Search" function a few times already haha

Re: 2023 off season roster

Might release my roster some time this week. I've said this before but it will not be perfect and only used for MLB exhibition games.

Re: 2023 off season roster

Getting pretty close with my set. Knocked out the ALE, NLE, ALW, and NLW. I ripped off a band-aid and did the Pirates as well. My White Sox are also up to date as I've been playing with them this off-season so I only really have to do 8 teams.

I have been using the website Roster Resource as a reference. One other thing to note is if I can't find a guy taken in the Rule 5 draft in the roster set I started with, I just replace him with another guy in the organization.

Not the best roster set as random guys will be on teams just to fill minor league teams but works perfectly fine for MLB Exhibition games.

Yeah I understand the random guys problem its the way the stupid roster system is designed what I used to do last year was create a player called----empty Slot---- I would remove the retired players and legends swap them in with a player from free agents then import over the legend or retired player with that empty slot.. eventually you build a team. and it is just a matter of moving the empty slots around like tiles. and its how you don't end up with random players

during the lookout last year just about every team had about 10 empty slots that could have been used all class A.. that is the way I got around it. its a complete utter pain having to put a empty slot to AA to move them though why the game will never changed their roster system after a decade of it I will never know.

it can't be that hard to have a 'release player to free agents' option. at least give us 10 slots to be able to do that for each team because the class A guys are useless anyway and not used. then the AAA AA and Majors lineups will never be effected at all and you are just having 10 players to release and add at the same time.. this is how I would fix the roster system up would make life easier.now every player is a real player it is stupid to have a swap for swap system.

You could subtract players in MVP Baseball 2005 really easy. I wish it was easy in the newer games.
