Stix Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Okay, I've finally decided to submit my Braves edits. Some of the ratings may be a bit biased so feel free to contradict me. Pitching Rotation: Smoltz Hudson Sosa Thomson Ramirez Send Hampton down to AAA or AA becuase he won't play this season due to his elbow. Call up Davies in his place and put him at LRP. Call up Villarreal and put Obermueller on AAA since Villarreal is offically on the team and at the moment Obermueller either isn't signed or not on the team. Put Villarreal at MRP. Put Boyer as the SU. Keep Reitsma at closer for the time being. Make Langerhans the full time LF and make Kelly Johnson DH vs. lefties and Betemit DH vs. righties. Change Betemit's first position to SS and second position to 3B since atlantabraves.com has him listed at SS. Call up LF Matt Diaz from AAA and send down Brian Jordan. Batting lineup against all four pitcher types: E. Renteria M. Giles C. Jones A. Jones A. LaRoche J. Francoeur B. McCann R. Langerhans Pitcher/DH (Johnson vs. L/Betemit vs. R) A. Jones: low socks J. Francoeur: 4 star? Definatly 5 star. +4 or +5 in power vs R and L. Throwing acc. up to 85. I could make a case for 90 but I'll settle for 85 M. Giles Power vs. righties +6. K. Johnson Regular socks. W. Betemit +2 Power vs. lefties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firethebomb Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Benson traded to the Orioles for Julio and Maine The Mets' sense that their bullpen was lacking has promoted them to make another trade aimed at reinforcing their relief pitching at the expense of their rotation. Less than a month after dealing Jae Seo, their best starting pitcher for a month late last summer, they have dealt their No. 3 starter as well. Kris Benson was traded to the Orioles on Saturday in an exchange that imports right-handed reliever Jorge Julio, formerly the Orioles closer, and a modest right-handed pitching prospect, John Maine. http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/new...t=.jsp&c_id=nym It's gotta be a pre-curser to other moves from the Mets. No way they trade a #3 for a reliever and prospect and completely rely on Heilman to get the job done as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikkrikk Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Looking through the Dodger roster and here are my thoughts. First time doing this so if I am missing something I should be putting lemme know thank you! Jeff Kent - Had good contact against LHP last season (.306 avg) and great power against RHP (25 HRs). I think his LHP contact should be 80 and the RHP power should be 85. Jose Cruz Jr - Cruz predominantly does better against LHP in contact and .avg, but hits all his HRs against RHP. I would boost his RHP power. Cesar Izturis - His fielding is at 75 in the rosterset. It's gotta be 90. I can live with the arm ratings but his range and glovework is tremendous and earned him a Gold Glove. In the minors (GREAT job including them btw), I noticed a strange trend that no matter how good some of these guys are in their respective leagues (Joel Guzman, Andy LaRoche, Matt Kemp, etc) they are generally ranked in the mid-40s for contact and power. There has to be some distinction between Andy LaRoche and Cody Ross (actually, Ross has better stats). I think that if there is going to be bias, have the AA and A guys have the 40s stats, and the AAA guys (guys that are ready to make the jump into the bigs) have to be better than 40s. If you want to have outliers that is fine, but Nick Alvarez (Dodgers A) is 69/59 against RHP and Joel Guzman (Dodgers AAA) is 40/40 against RHP -- that's a little crazy. I can sit down and do recommended ratings for the Dodger minor leagues if you wish it to use if you want to. Just give me the word. I notice that the rest of the minor-league system sits around this with the occasional outlier, of course an overall big change would be a lot of work.

DarkEnigma510 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I tried using the UR5.0 plus the other day and kept getting crashes. One against Boston and New York in Boston. The other time I loaded the game up and it froze on the load screen. Anyone else have these problems. Also, I was looking for the UR version which was rosters only but only saw the plus versions. Is there a standard version with just the mbe file that doesnt need a new models.big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slikk: The reason the contact and power is so low is because the players progress too quickly and unrealistically otherwise so you can either have 'realistic' hitting stats for A-AA or realistic progression but not both. This is assuming you have the progression mod available at this site. Looks like these rosters are more geared for use in dynasty/owner mode, rather than an online league. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totte Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Also, I was looking for the UR version which was rosters only but only saw the plus versions. Is there a standard version with just the mbe file that doesnt need a new models.big? The crashes are cyberface related if you're using the one of the UR 5.0 Plus versions. There's a standard version available without the models.big. Do a search for it in the DL-section or check the front page of MVPmods (I think it's still in the list to the right - UR 5.01 is the latest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronuconn Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hey Totte/Kraw, im just wondering when the next UR will come out for xbox. Like 5.0 was one of the big ones and i was wondering if someone could convert the next big one to xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herky Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The Orioles acquired right-hander Kris Benson from the New York Mets on Saturday in exchange for right-handers Jorge Julio and John Maine. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5266302 Jorge Sosa said Saturday he has signed with the Atlanta Braves for one-year, $2.2 million. The Minnesota Twins and utilityman Michael Cuddyer agreed Saturday to a $1.3 million, one-year contract that avoided arbitration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlight_reel Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Those control ratings are AA quality. He's gotta be in the low 70s. Probably worth a high 4 ERA in the majors He wasn't that good in Japan, anyways. His ERA in the majors should be somewhere around high 5s low 6s. Low 70s predicts around 3 ERA, which is ridiculous, considering his stats. Also, the high movement balances it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slikkrikk Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Jon Broxton on the Dodgers bullpen in UR 5.01 is listed as having a fastball, knuckleball, and change. That is incorrect. He has two fastballs, a slider, and a change -- no knuck. Here's a scouting report on him: "Fastballs, slider (both very good), and change-up (lags behind the fastball and slider, but it exists, even though Broxton doesn't use it much, especially in the bullpen)."

mike12000 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I downloaded the new UR 5.0 Plus Umachines uniforms (18+ hours on good 'ol dialup). I saw the file named cyberfaces in both 5.0 & the Quick Fix DL, it's a XLS file. Didn't see a mention of this in the instructions. What's this file for, what should I do with it? I'm glad PC baseball gaming is still alive and kickin', thanks to this site and you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add on to this, I see that his FB velocity in the game is 92 -- he throws 98 MPH heat consistently and that should be reflected for sure. Thanks.

mike12000 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Those are databases showing cyberface IDs for each player. OK...and XLS is an Excel spreadsheet. Thanks, I'm not that familiar with Excel. Thug4Life, I'm thinking any problems with the latest version will be worked out shortly. Plus, if you back up the old files, you can always go back to what you were playing with before if you have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikkrikk Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 CYBERFACE ALERT: So far I've noticed a few players wearing glasses when they never have them in real life. These guys are: Jonathan Broxton (yes, him again) Andy LaRoche Also, Hong-Chi Kuo's character looks like a white guy, he should be a bit more tan as he is obviously not white. And for Joel Guzman (and perhaps a few others?), it looks like his eyes are sunken in. You guys did a terrific job on the cyberfaces within the Dodgers organization. Everything is almost perfect except for these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done any changes at all to Jeff Weaver in the last 2-3 months except for moving him to the FA-list. That's just weird! I don't know why it's gone. I can't find it in the rosters either.
