Xbox Classic Rosters

[wang_chi7]

I just uploaded my Xbox Classic rosters in the download section. They have been a work in progress for just over a year now and this is the first version I've posted here (I've had them on another site in the past.)

The rosters consist of 25 greats for each team plus a Negro League team under the Durham Bulls (TB's AAA team.) There are no cyberfaces so they are OK to use on a non-modded xbox as mine is not.

There is one issue with dynasty mode at the moment though. I took the stamina of all the pitchers not on the classic teams down to 1 that way their ratings went down which allows a fantasy draft. The problem is the game freezes sometimes and I think its because teams run out of pitchers to use and the game doesn't know what to do. So in the coming weeks I hope to fix the problem. They are very fun to use in exhibition though.

Any suggestions are well appreciated, but for the most part the ratings are set in stone as I used formulas to take subjectivity out of the majority of the attributes. Bunting and throwing were exceptions. Pitching was a little harder to do and I still am not totally satisfied with them as of yet. I might overhaul the pitchers sometime this summer or fall. The pitches they pitch are correct, but as for the quality of said pitches thats where I'm not happy with the ratings.

If you think I overlooked a guy, just state your case and who I should take out of the rosters, but try and keep the rosters well balanced (as in on the bench there needs to be a backup C, a corner IF, middle IF, and at least one OF and for pitchers 5 starters, a spot starter, a closer, and preferably the rest filled in by relievers.) As you can see from the rosters I did favor more recent stars over guys from the very distant past but not to a ridiculous amount.

For the Twins and Rangers I did not use Senators players and for the Orioles I did not use the Browns (their HOFers are in the FA list though.)

PS. I know a lot of guys were already in the game and that could have saved time. But I couldn't edit their age (I made everybody a teenager so many years could be played.) Plus it was weird that the announcers would say some of the names of the scrubs on TB but wouldn't say "Pete Rose." So now they are just announced by jersey #.

was this made with MVPedit and then transfered to the xbox?

Sadly, no. I did not find out about MVPedit until I had done considerable amounts of work on the rosters already. I manually edited everything. I think sometime next week I will move the stamina up to 20 and see if that fixes the problem. I know before I edited the minor leaguers there was no freezing problem, but I hadn't done a dynasty with these in about a year so its not for sure the problem. I do know it freezes during minor league games though, as I clicked on the day that it kept freezing and would sim only the first minor league game listed and it would freeze. I restarted the dynasty 3 times and each time it was a different date that it would freeze so it wasn't some fluke thing with the schedule or anything.

OK, I fixed the freezing problem. It was a really simple problem. The unlockable legends were on some of the minor league rosters and when I chose to have them "off" for dynasty mode it created problems. Its fixed now and the rosters have been updated on the download screen for the few that have already downloaded them!

For dynasty mode, turn injuries, suspensions, and CPU trades "OFF" because teams don't have guys to call up from the minors. I would also turn the DH on for both leagues as I did not edit the pitchers' hitting ratings.
