Great stuff. I gotta tackle some other stuff before I take a look at unis.... nice to be busy 🙂

I will read though your posts and respond to them one at a time. I will collect your notes and put them together as as guide or something......it might take some time to tackle everything.

Working on some other things at the moment but will pick up doing some unis at some point. Let you know which ones,,,,

PS I disabled the "stock" create a player and create a team for functions for further testing in that file. I will look at it again.

Off the top of my head I'm not sure. I will look at it too.

I've uploaded a fixed MLB demo file since I found a couple of bugs. I am using this file for tweaks then I will integrate them into the NCAA files. I toned down the errors somewhat. Will keep looking at the sliders as we go. I also started instructions with the excel file. MLB2K12 Ratings Calculator Template v2003.xlsb Roster4MLB2019.ROS Difficulty Sliders1.SLD Cool. Love that your son loved it! Sounds good. When I get done with some of this other stuff I will start looking at the schedules too.

I would love to help. In general, the roster template is crash proof as long as you do not change certain things "out of the range" the game is "looking" for. I use the ranges that are in the General Editing Tutorial that comes with REDedit II. I do have to document what I found. In the meantime, ask away and I will let you know what I know.

The spreadsheet would be great. The sliders could be adjusted further to get the results "exact" or closer to what they should be. Yep. Difficult defense should be difficult, huh? Errors might be too high too.

I'm happy to help you, Your doing an amazing job! I imagine we should divide doing the unis up somehow. I look to see whats done and where to start? I think the sliders really help the gameplay. I like the flow of the gameplay using those sliders with how the ratings are setup. The ratings are designed to all be relative to each other....since its a physics based game(sort of) then i kinda used the idea of making all the physical elements relative to each other, thinking it might create a more "realistic" flow of the game. The idea is also i did not have to adjust any ratings to increase the realism. Example, I think the defensive anticipation of players is more realistic instead of adjusting the anticipation rating itself. I think its working??? I will work on want to you want with the rosters ( and scheduling) to see what the game allows me to do. I like your ideas. It will take some experimenting and I will let you know.

Here's the sliders that I use to go with the rosters. I'm tuning these with the rosters and the design of the ratings to "balance" game play. Difficulty Sliders1.SLD

Off topic briefly.... for those who read there's a great book someone gave me called "The Love of Baseball" published by Publications International. One of my favorite baseball books. I think anyone at MVPMods would like it too. You could do an Internet search to find it I guess.

Back from the holidays. Happy New Year! Looking good. As far as the roster goes, picking up from where I left off, the roster and the excel file I think just needs some minor tuning to release "final" versions for the college mod. Adding in the unis and stuff would be just copy and pasting to get a done file for release of the mod. Attached are the latest files. For demo purposes, I added the 2019 MLB file with the latest 2019 stats (thru the playoffs). Every player who appeared in 2019 is in it. The college files that I will be updating are attached. Let me know if you think anything should be done and I will add it to the list. I have done unis in the past so time permitting I could maybe help there as well. Roster4MLB2019.ROS Roster8 NCAA.ROS Roster8 College.ROS They are tied into managers/coaches. I fixed that using my latest roster files I attached. Should be cleaned up if you follow the ids in the rosters I attached. I also account for this in my latest excel file I use to create the rosters. I attached the latest excel file zipped. Still no real instructions yet though. Nor can you create players or teams one at a time yet. I would like to add that capability back in later. MLB2K12 Ratings Calculator Template v2002.zip FYI - I did find a crash playing the Washington Nationals in the MLB2019 roster. That's likely because I was messing with them in my excel file. I will find the fix for it.

Detained with some other things.. will probably pick it up again this week.

Oops I forgot. You can change the face IDs. I will note which ones in the excel file....I can't remember off of the top of my head. I do know they have to fall in a certain range, for example (0,1,2) 3 would crash the game. The franchise is setup like the default MLB roster. with the stronger conferences at the MLB level, etc. For now I guess.

The plan is to create 2 versions of it. In the excel file I created I really need to document what I did...that would be the best way to explain everything. I plan to get that done as soon as I can. I purposely created this with the intention of making it crash free. There are a lot of reasons why the roster file would crash in exhibition mode and/or franchise mode. I think the roster template I created is the end result of over 2 years of looking at it. Through a process of elimination I found out what would cause the file to crash, so certain things should not be touched or changed. Example, don't change the appID or globalID numbers in this roster for starters. Certain accessory settings will crash it too, etc. It won't crash in any mode after going through 30 franchise years. The excel file I use is setup to generate a roster that is crash free with as little as possible manual labor. I will post a newer version of the excel file once I put in some explanations of how to use it. Here's the latest stable base template that I use for the rosters. And the NCAA version setup for franchise play. Roster4MLB2018.ROS Roster9NCAA.ROS
