I'd like to start some kind of advertising for my new roster set...
originally I did it only for my own playing experience cause I found all the available sets somehow insufficient, but since it took me two weeks of full work, I finally decided to release it (downloadable at
http://www.ootpdownloadcenter.com/).
It includes...
- the 40-man-rosters with all trades, injuries etc. up to 3/30/05 (+ Charles Johnson in TB
), tweaked ratings, extensively tested for realistic results
- virtually ALL minor league regulars above Rookie-level in 2004 (at least 130 players/organization)
- all organizational Top-30-prospects (according to Baseball America) with tweaked ratings (reworked with the new TOP-100-prospect list)
- TONS of former MLs now playing in Japan, Mexico or elsewhere and formally retired players in the FA pool
- some 130 college/HS prospects in the 2005-draft-pool
not included though...
- ratings for second-string-minor leaguers (correct are only name, date of birth, origin, height/weight and handedness), although nobody is rated above the organizational top-30-list
- all minor league transactions of the off season, means some of the minor leaguers may not be with their correct organization...
- 2005 schedule (you have to include it by yourself)
Nevertheless it should be great fun (if you like BIIIGGG FA-lists of course
). Anyway, I'd be interested in some feedback...
