An Interview with Knight165 - Creator of The Show Rosters

[RaychelSnr]

Every year around this time, MLB: 12 The Show fans get ready to start their franchise. But some can’t do it without one important thing.

The Operations Sports Full Minors roster project, started by Michael Koncz, or you may know him better as Operation Sports forum member Knight165. The rosters include all of the minor leaguers real names, ratings, faces (when possible) and attributes.

100% agree! It is truly amazing all the time spent on these rosters and every year they get better and Knight and Co. get them to us quicker and quicker.

Fantastic!!! I am very happy that OS has decided to feature one of their own for what he does for the Show as well as the game of baseball. I have become so much more into the minor leagues than I ever was and it's awesome when I see a player make it to the majors that I played with in the Show a couple years ago and say "I remember him, he made it to the show in my franchise abut the same time."

I also enjoy the fact that Knight has assembled an unparalleled group of people to make these rosters the best in sports gaming. The whole group are allstars in my world!!!

You learn something new every day. I didn't know that Knight hadn't played MLB The Show prior to 2005; I figured he'd been playing the game from back on the PSOne days.

Knight's rosters take an already great game to another level. I look forward to the release every year. I don't know how all you guys do it with the editing, though.

Great read, I've heard of Knight through TheShowNation forum and had to come here myself and thank him for the work he's done. I can see why everyone anticipates the release of this roster.

I've had a question for Knight. If there's anything on the show you can go more in-depth with and modify, what would it be?

Great article. I don't know what I would do without these rosters.

Knight 2012! Haha, amazing work he does and a amazing man himself

[hysteria499]

It truly is amazing what him and the team do. Honestly If it wasnt for the rosters him and the team do I might not even be playing the show. The rosters make it worthwhile. There isn't enough thanks to him and the team. And its great to see knight getting recognized for it.

Re: An Interview with Knight165 - Creator of The Show Rosters

I gotta say, it's not only the roster creation that makes Knight "the man"...it's it rational and driven approach to making the game the most realistic sim out there. This includes all the work he does (as well as many other OSers) to develop work-arounds and fixes to bugs and other issues. I've said this before, but if it weren't for the community at OS (especially Knight and his compadre tabarnes), I would have given up on sports video games years ago. With EA deciding not to care about improving any of their games, SCEA's consistent attempts at improvement, coupled with the community here, The Show is the only sports game I can justify playing at this point.

Thank you Knight, for everything you do.

Re: An Interview with Knight165 - Creator of The Show Rosters

Great read, I really feel like I owe Knight and the roster team something for all the hard work they put in year in and year out. Seeing some of the disrespect those guys get every now and then really pisses me off. The game just wouldn't be the same without you guys! Now how about one of those historical rosters??

[SSWood10]

Great article, it really makes the game have a new feel. I hope some the sound guys efforts get recognized someday as well since I know it's a lot of hard work as well.

Are the 2013 Rosters out yet? Now? now? Great stuff!

Great article about a great dude!

The only criticism that I have, in looking at the new roster by Knight, is that many of the players have the same generic faces. That may not be something that Knight and his chess pieces and control. Other than that, what he is doing takes a lot of dedication. I'd be surprised if SCEA so much as even sent him a thank you card.
