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

Off the top of my head not sure what the issue(s) are... i will play with it some to see what if i can come up with why...may not be able to look at it for a little while thou.....still working on the roster...besides regular life too :)

by the way....i'm re-learning blender now for some work i'm doing...maybe i could help out later with that too

working on refining the player equipment... here's the latest....more work to do with it ..... Roster9NCAA.ROS unis and stadiums looking good

Don't need a list of real player head IDs. Already went though that. I assigned "create a player" head shapes to all players and randomized them. We can always go back in and add any specific ones that someone wants to create. Here's the latest roster file. The main focus was randomizing head shapes, appearances and equipment. I am fine tuning things like the frequency of beards, colors, etc. In this file unis and logos are all set to use 2k unis and logos...this is only for the time being. I am also fine tuning the audio so don't pay too much attention to the announcers referencing teams. I will re-arrange the teams and add the extra teams, add unis ids if u guys want, and can work on the logos when I'm ready. There will be two versions of the roster. One version will work for play now mode, and the other for all modes. For FYI purposes, and not actually for this mod directly, I also attached two other roster files using MLB stats for 2018 and 1950. If you have any ideas to implement from these let me know. After I add instructions, I will post the excel and access files so you guys can tinker with them if you want to. I'm just waiting until I get them to the point where I think they are ready to post. I am adding some features to them and always fine tuning them. " Roster8 NCAA.ROS Roster4MLB2018.ROS Roster4MLB1950.ROS

update... making progress randomizing player head shapes, appearances and equipment. Refining it so it should be a few more days....

Penn State. Got busy the last week but i will be posting an updated roster and excel file (with instructions...) within 2 or 3 days. Love the unis..great job

That is why I created the excel file... to save time creating a roster by putting out a base crash-free roster with. The idea being to auto generate things as much as possible and fill in the details later. I have the MLB version of the excel file (using Access 2016 for the actual season data) setup to create any MLB season with as little hassle as possible. Some time I want to re-generate all those seasons. It is on-going project as I always find something to adjust hopefully without breaking anything

exhibition play is the only mode where all the teams are functional to play where any team can play any team. a long time ago i thought I had the created teams working in playoff mode. now, i can get them to show up on the AL side of the playoffs but not the NL. If so, (I sound like a historian on Ancient Aliens ), I would have to re-trace my steps and that might take some time to see if indeed it did work. Created teams have always been funny to deal with. I haven't worked out the issues with setting all the teams to created. I think it might be best not to. I disabled the created teams, for now, in the rosters. If you try to create a team in-game it will crash the game, but that is the best alternative until I find an answer.

We can keep them at the same level. I'll adjust the excel file and update the scale. I'd like to see your logo file. See what I can do with it. Thx

I've made some fixes in my excel file that generates the roster. I need to adjust some more things in it. (Ratings, etc.) Question, in the one version of the file I did, I loosely "ranked" the teams in levels. The MLB level teams got better ratings than the AAA teams, etc. Thats the Roster8 NCAA file attached. Would you like me to enhance this further? If so, how. The teams in the other file, are not ranked, as of yet, in any type of order. Please note I'm messing around some with the logo and uni ids in this version. I set all the teams with a 2k logo and unis, but will change that back once you answer the question above among other things. The order of the teams might have to change in the file depending on the above question. Roster8 College.ROS Roster8 NCAA.ROS
