kangarooboy78 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 For the Cubs' Diamond Jaxx AA affiliate, Rich Hill (SP): SP L L 6-5 205 3/11/1980 Prospect Michigan Boston, MA... KM Hill supposedly has more potential to reach the biggs over Jordan Gerk...make Gerk a free agent just so any Jordan Gerk fans wont be disappointed. But, yeah Rich Hill has the makings of a quality pitcher at best Nate Robertson and worst Andy Sisco.....and Sisco ain't too bad for a Rook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangarooboy78 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 BTW, I'm not trying to step on any toes with my input miget33. I just want to help. Thanks for the hard work to you and the whole Roster staff and all those involved. One last thing, any other players that have altered attributes like Zambrano's 5 mph 2-seam fastball?

moylkell Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Matt Murton, Diamond Jaxx (AA) LF needs his name tweaked during the introductory announcing. The PA guy gets it right, but Krukow and his buddy say a completely different name. And I also agree with kangarooboy on the Hill dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miget33 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 On the Hill thing I actually replaced Darren Oliver in place of Hill. I just don't think Oliver is going to stay on the team for the year. I also got rid of Shane Halter and Moriaty in place of Chadd Blasko and Luke Hagerty on my rosters. I just feel that having over the hill major leaguers instead of young prospects is not the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarbox23 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I am a lurker here, been enjoying the Ultimate roster updates all season... BUT, I have to say, WHAT IS UP with these people who DEMAND stuff??? Are they aware that the folks behind Ultimate are fellow fans and not PAID staff? I just can't believe how f*ckin ROOD some posts here are.... "why is the new file taking so long?" "fix these things NOW" "you idiots didn't get this skin color right" "where is my download?" I mean, DAMN! If I were working on Ultimate, I would have quit by now just from so many folks here being such asses. This is a volunteer effort folks. We are all lucky to be getting anything with the superb quality as this... these are fellow fans who are not affiliated with the company and are not making any money from this.... give them a break, or better yet, a complement on their hard work and effort. some of you make me sick.

AI03 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I totally agree with Tarbox...I think that Illmac, Hypnoxxx, bb king, hory, kraw, and the countless others that populate this site/thread do an amazing job... There's no way I would have the capabilities, time, precision, and accuracy to come up with a near perfect roster. Thanks again guys, and I hope you enjoy your summer break!

gordgraff Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 As for Utility players, i didn't see Brandon Inge's name there...he has got to be the most versatile player in the bigs. Catcher, all outfield positions, third base... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVPlover Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 The Cubs made a BIG move today... "Cubs agree to terms with Wilson"The Chicago Cubs today agreed to terms with infielder Enrique Wilson on a contract for the 2005 season. In addition, the Cubs optioned infielder Ronny Cedeno to Iowa (AAA) and transferred pitcher Chad Fox to the 60-day disabled list. Wilson, who will wear uniform #19, joins the Cubs in Pittsburgh. Wow, Neifi Perez, Jose Macias, and now Enrique Wilson all on one team! How many scrub infielders can one team need? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many scrub infielders can one team need? Oh, yeah...HUGE move...WHATEVER...I appreciated the sarcasm though; nice. I don't know why they did this. I think they need to wait a bit on the trade status of other infield players/util players before making a move. Enrique F'ing Wilson??? Hendry is smoking some excellent grass if he thinks this will help. I actually though Cedeno was a good ballplayer (even if he only appeared in like three games). This season is turning into a circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he plays LF too, the way it stands now he plays whatever outfield position is open, if someone needs a day off that is where he plays For freel you have his 1st position as 2nd base, well he has more games for his career at 3rd, CF, & RF than 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass half full philosophy I suppose...but we're still gonna have a hell of a time scoring runs and staying healthy...it's a shame that the only guys I look forward to seeing hit are Lee, Burnitz, and Ramirez (I'm even a little shaky with Ramirez, given that he's put too much pressure on himself this season)...as a diehard Cubby fan, I try and stay positive, but right now that glass half full is quickly being devoured by a cardinal, a ship-faring lad with an eye patch, and a drunken-yellow bearded dude named Billy (not to mention all of the East and West, which are playing better ball than the Cubbies...aside from the Rockies and our own basement-dwelling 'Stros) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hory Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I have a solution to the mis-matched pa and pbp annoucements for some of the created players. EA has "hidden" PA audio for minor leaguers using audio ids 2666-3228 however pbp audio for fake created players uses numbers 3001-4550 so to resolve the conflict I used BigGUI to delete the pbp audio using numbers 3001-3228 open MVP Baseball 2005dataaudiospch_pbppnamehdr.big with BigGUi - select the files from 3001a.hdr 3001d.hdr - 3228a.hdr 3228d.hdr amd select delete, then close and then open MVP Baseball 2005dataaudiocdspch_pbppnamedat.big select 3001a.dat 3001d.dat - 3228a.dat 3228d.dat and delete them as well the only drawback from doing this is that there is no pbp audio for some in-game generated fake players, so that's no real loss at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkrause Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 My question is on some of the veterans AAA hitters (like age 26+). Don't alot of them seem like they suck a tad more then they should- especially with power? I probably am totally wrong but guys like Tim Salmon, Greg Colbrunn, etc just seem like they should hit better to me than 50/40 based on their careers when a Lou Marloni has a 82-74 lefties split. I am not ragging on the roster makers as this is a minor thing but here are some AAA hitters that i think could be raised which also makes then better MLB depth for injuries. I am not saying like 20 Power better but better than so pro backup SS/2B. I am using the minorleaguebaseball.com (current stuff) site and www.thebaseballcube.com (historical minors/pro stats) for my guessamates. None of these changes is going to change the face of baseball but in my opinion would be helpful. ANA- Tim Salmon- power for sure +10 or so per side ANA- Nick Goreault pow +5 Atl- James Jurries- Power, +5 Bal- Alex Freire- power +7 Bal- Nap Calzado- Avg +5 Bos- Shoppach- Power +3 Bos- Lombard- power +4 CHN- Scott McClain - power +5 CHN- David Kelton- power raised averaged in the high teens- low 20's +5 CHN- Deblois power +5 CWS- Jorge Toca power +4 CWS- Greg Norton- power +4 Cin- Jason Romano- Avg +5 Cle- Jake Gautreau- Avg and power +5 Cle- Ernie Young - power +5 Fla- Wilson Delgado- 84 at Avg vs R- nah- lower that Fla- Josh Willingham- power +5 Fla- Mark Little - power +5 Hou- Mike Coolbaugh- power +5 Hou- Danny klassen- avg +5 Min- Brent Abernathy- Avg +5 Min- Todd Dunwoody- Avg +4, Pow +4 LA- Chin- Feng Chen- Avg +4, Pow +5 NYY- Damian Rolls- avg +6 NYY- Dave Parrish- Avg +5 NYM- Brian Daubach- Avg +4, Pow +4 NYM- Ron Calloway Avg +5 MIL- Kevin Orie- Avg +5 Oak- Dan Johnson- Avg +4, Pow +4 Oak- Shawn Garrett- Avg +7 Phi- Chris Coste- Avg +12, Pow +4 Phi- Marlon Byrd- Avg +5 Pit- Graham Koonce- Pow +8, Also Righties percent are off- listed at 100% SD- Jon Knott- Avg +4, Pow +4 SF- Todd Linden- star power listed at none- i think average SF- Doug Clark- Avg +4 SEa- Chris Snelling- Star power avg Sea- Aaron Rifkin- Pow +12 Stl- Wilton Guerrero- Avg +10 Stl- John Nelson- Avg- +10, Pow +10 Stl- Scott Seabol- Pow +7 TB- Eric Munson- Pow vs R +15 Tex- Manny Alexander- Avg +4 vs R Tex- Marshall McDougall- Avg- +15, Pow +10 Tex- Jason Botts- avg +5, pow +4 Was- Edy Chavez- 80 for avg vs R- seems high Was- Larry Boradway- Avg +3, Pow +5 was- Rick Short- Avg +8 Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That likely could be true, since i believe everyone i listed is 26 or older the potential of raises guys like these shouldn't be that major. I assume they won't jump to a 80/80 or anything crazy due to their age and the fact that most are 0 to 3 stars. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big shmooz Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I noticed that Carl Pavano of the Yankees is listed as stocky big chest in the game. This is not correct. The guy is slim (tall, but slim). It seems the game takes into account only the guy's weight (in that they error too at times) but not the height ratio to the weight. So a guy might be 241 pounds, (I doubt he weighs that much anyway) but at 6 feet 5 inches, that's definitely not stocky. (just look at him, he has a completely flat chest & stomach, though he is wide). I would therefore change his body type from average to large in addition to making him slim & large chest.

I know that you suggested that Brian Daubach (1B AAA Norfolk Tides - Mets Affiliate) have his ratings bumped up. But, he was released by Boston earlier this spring, and did not do well last year. Which is probably why his ratings are around 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
