Okay I think I gonna look into it when I have updated the rosters, ratings, and so on. It is better to do one thing after another but good to hear that it is possible. :)

:spiteful: I won't be boozing this upcoming weekend. I swear. :hi:

Mets 25 man roster finished.

Yeah I have read of this change in the news. But to be honest I have not tried to change this by now.

You're welcome. After I had to take some days off due to a massive booze Saturday and being busy yesterday I got in the Marlins today.

As stated on one page before, he got 94 OVR.

Finished the Dodgers and the Giants. Played an exhibition game with the Giants at the Dodgers. So tough to score runs against those pitching staffs. I lost 0-1 on 6-7 hits. :D

I got the 25 man rosters of the AL and since I work in an alphabetical order and I said my last edited team was the Dbacks, I think you can answer your question by yourself. I think that I gonna finish the Dodgers and Giants today. I think I could be finished with the Beta in about 7-9 days. When I got the 25 man rosters I gonna release something like a beta so you can at least play some exhibition games. The minor leagues shouldn't take as long as the 25 man rosters. At least I hope so.

Finished the Dbacks. Not enough time today to do one more team, but in the next couple of days I will move on.

Nope. Totally strange. Some time ago when the problem was occurring multiple times I got very busy and had no time to work on the rosters. After I got back to my normal schedule I went back to editing rosters and there weren't any duplicate players anymore. So sick.

Cards and Cubs 25 man rosters finished, Dbacks next.

If the game doesnt crash yes

Ah ok now I understood. Sorry cannot predict a certain time. All depends on how much freetime I will have the next couple of weeks. Maybe I am finished quite quick, maybe it takes a little longer. The deadline for me would be the start of the regular season but I am quite confindent in finishing it earlier. In any case I will release at least a version before start of the regular season with the current rosters (including rating changes etc.) of the MLB teams and some minor leaguers for every MLB team. Maybe this version will not be 100% complete and accurate. But as I said I am more or less full of confidence.

What crashes?

It is all appreciated! Maybe there is a solution for the schedule/Houston+AL thing. But to be honest, when we don't get a solution then I won't grieve over it. I like this game too much for it. I am doing always some backups right now. Finished the Brewers MLB team today. Weak pitching (81), good hitting (85). Ryan Braun is the first 99 ovr player in the game. I do not know how those ovr numbers are calculated. He is not that much better than Miggie Cabrera for example. He only is faster and plays LF.

Yeah I know what you mean. But editing the schedule and/or the Houston move to the AL always caused problems (either crashes in long term or even short term) and I didn't find honest and satisfying solutions. I do not want to release a roster that has a high chance to crash after the first season or even after a few games. No editor has an import function either. This is the next problem. I played around with both available editors (the one by Vlad and the one by Ty Wiggins) and tried some simple moves via copy and paste from one roster to another and it happened multiple times that the roster file could not be loaded in the game anymore. When trying to load the roster it simply made bang and I found myself back at the desktop. That caused also multiple re-starts for me to edit the rosters all over again. And when you keep in mind that editing one MLB team (only the 25 man roster) including transactions, numbers and position edits, lineup and rotation changes and especially the rating edits, takes about 2-3 hours of work you get an imagination how annoying those crashes are. And remember, that was only one MLB team without its affiliates. After realizing that copying stuff from one roster file to another hurts more than it helps I drew a line under a roster project that has been worked out by more than one person. Of course it still would be possible that more than one person contributes in a roster projects. But the problem is that you would have to set up something like a schedule, meaning that you would have to set fixed dates on which one person could work. But on this date or in this time the other person simply could do nothing. But when you have someone like me who can not predict his freetime that is simply impossible. We have some great football managers (called Anstoß or now Football Manager) over here in Europe and those games offer editors with them. In these editors there are different import and export options and so a ton of people can work on the database at the same time. This is possible because the database in this game is separated in different smaller databases. In MLB 2k you have only one big database. These are the problems. Just a little explanation...

No fear. I am sure Miggies numbers are high enough. Iwould have worked with WB but mlb2k12 offers no possibility to work on one roster for more than one person at the same time. Sadly. So no idea how...

Yeah I know that his ISO and HR numbers are always better vs. RHP. But you must not forget the fact that he does not see many AB against LHP where he even can hit. You must remember that his OBP last year against LHP was way higher than against RHP (.441 vs. .375). This is because he was walked 17.9% by LHP and only 6.2% by RHP. When you get walks all the time you will not get much chances. And especially against LHP who tend to are less frequent compared to RHP. Please do not always look only at those raw numbers like AVG, HR, 2B and so on. They never tell the whole story. Higher numbers against LHP will produce more walks for Miguel Cabrera against LHP. Simple as that.

Yup, I use classic, too. ;)

More or less a slider set of my own. I used the slider set from Mkharsh (over at operationsports.com) some time and tweaked it a little bit. Feeling quite good right now. When I am finished I will offer you my sliders, too. I finished the 25 man roster of the Braves. The team rating calculations seem more and more confusing to me. Although the braves have the Upton brothers (Justin 88, BJ 84), Heyward (90), and Freeman (83) their hitting rating is a calculated 79. But they get 93 in pitching (which seems quite realistic - strong rotation, strong BP).

Lol sorry my mistake, I had Rivera at the AAA Scranton. Of course he is above 88. Mo is a 92 OVR and so he is the best closer in the AL. My mistake took place because I put him down to Scranton when he was injured and forgot to call him up.

You are right. I play test games with every team to see how it plays out. There are always different results. Sometimes high scoring, sometimes low scoring. Sometimes the SP goes into the 8th inning, sometimes he has to be pulled after 2 innings, etc.

Pitchers: ConR: Justin Verlander (DET) 98 Fernando Rodney (TB) 94 Vinnie Pestano (IND) 91 ConL: Justin Verlander (DET) 95 David Price (TB) 93 RA Dickey (TOR) 92 PowR: Josh Johnson (TOR), Felix Hernandez (SEA), Fernando Rodney (TB), Justin Verlander (DET) 92 Joe Smith (IND) 91 Pedro Strop (BAL) 89 PowL: Felix Hernandez (SEA) 90 David Price (TB) 89 Matt Thornton (CWS), Justin Verlander (DET), Jim Johnson (BAL) 88 Strikeout: Ernesto Frieri (LAA) 99 David Robertson (NYY), Vinnie Pestano (IND) 98 Greg Holland (KC) 95 Walks: Mike Kohn (LAA) 92 Andrew Miller (BOS) 91 Tim Collins (KC) 89 Stamina: Felix Hernandez (SEA), David Price (TB), CC Sabathia (NYY), Justin Verlander (DET), Jered Weaver (LAA) 99 RA Dickey (TOR), James Shields (KC) 98 Jake Peavy (CWS), Hiroki Kuroda (NYY) 94 Control: RA Dickey (TOR) 93 Justin Verlander (DET) 90 Jered Weaver (LAA) 88 Composure: Jered Weaver (LAA) 99 David Price (TB) 94 Fernando Rodney (TB), Casey Janssen (TOR) 92

Perhaps a little bit more (don't see this as a spam or advertising, it helps me to have an overview): Hitters: ConR: Josh Hamilton (LAA), Miguel Cabrera (DET), Joe Mauer (MIN) 90 Robinson Cano (NYY) 88 David Ortiz (BOS) 84 ConL: Miguel Cabrera (DET) 96 Billy Butler (KC) 89 Jose Altuve (HOU) 88 PowR: Adam Dunn (CWS) 97 Jose Bautista (TOR) 96 David Ortiz (BOS), Curtis Granders (NYY) 91 PowL: Jose Bautista (TOR) 99 Miguel Cabrera (DET) 94 Evan Longoria (TB) 91 Out by Strikeouts: Adam Dunn (CWS), Mark Reynolds (IND) 99 Tyler Flowers (CWS) 95 Kelly Shoppach (SEA) 94 Walks: Jose Bautista (TOR) 99 Adam Dunn (CWS) 97 Carlos Santana (IND) 94 Speed: Peter Bourjos (LAA) 97 Drew Stubbs (IND) 94 Jacoby Ellsbury (BOS), Michael Bourn (IND), Jarrod Dyson (KC), Mike Trout (LAA), Rajai Davis (TOR) 93 Fielding Range: Peter Bourjos (LAA) 99 Michael Bourn (IND), Brett Gardner (NYY) 94 Austin Jackson (DET) 93 Glove: Brendan Ryan (SEA) 94 Franklin Gutierrez (SEA) 93 Adrian Beltre (TEX) 92 Arm Strength: Jeff Francoeur (KC), Nick Markakis (BAL) 99 Nelson Cruz (TEX), Robinson Cano (NYY) 96 Mike Moustakas (KC) 95 Arm Accuracy: Adrian Beltre (TEX), JJ Hardy (BAL), Brendan Ryan (SEA), Robinson Cano (NYY) 94 Matt Wieters (BAL) 93 Alex Gordon (KC) 91 Fielding Anticipation: Brendan Ryan (SEA) 97 Peter Bourjos (LAA) 95 Franklin Gutierrez (SEA), Evan Longoria (TB), Dustin Pedroia (BOS) 94

I decided to give you some more insight on those players I have edited already. I will give you a list with the 3 best players at each position who are on a 25 man roster of a MLB AL club. C: Joe Mauer (MIN) 86 Carlos Santana (IND) 83 Matt Wieters (BAL) 82 1B: Prince Fielder (DET) 92 Albert Pujols (LAA) 92 David Ortiz (BOS) 92 (he should mostly play as DH because I gave him fairly low speed and fielding ratings) 2B: Robinson Cano (NYY) 92 Dustin Pedroia (BOS) 88 Ian Kinsler (TEX) 84 3B: Miguel Cabrera (DET) 95 Adrian Beltre (TEX) 93 Evan Longoria (TB) 90 SS: Jose Reyes (TOR) 89 Elvis Andrus (TEX) 85 Erick Aybar (LAA) 83 LF: Yoenis Cespedes (OAK) 90 Josh Willingham (MIN) 87 Alex Gordon (KC), Melky Cabrera (TOR) 85 CF: Mike Trout (LAA) 94 Adam Jones (BAL) 90 Austin Jackson (DET) 88 RF: Josh Hamilton (LAA) 94 Jose Bautista (TOR) 93 Alex Rios (CWS) 89 SP: Justin Verlander (DET) 96 David Price (TB), Felix Hernandez (SEA), 93 Jered Weaver (LAA) 92 RP: Ernesto Frieri (LAA) 85 Ryan Cook (OAK) 84 Darren O'Day (BAL), Jesse Crain (CWS), Andrew Bailey (BOS) 83 CL: Casey Janssen (TOR) 88 Fernando Rodney (TB) 87 Jim Johnson (BAL), David Robertson (NYY), Grant Balfour (OAK), Joel Hanrahan (BOS) 86 As I said earlier I use formulas to create every single rating. Looking at those ratings I think my formulas are not too bad. ;)
