This is most likely my last year at this, I cannot stand having something that I love doing turned into a labor. They will be released when they are released, and that will be the last update until you see them out.

They mean keeping it a secret because of the fact that there were basically no status updates almost until the first beta was released (besides the "it will be done in a week or so" type, that clearly weren't even close). Now personally, I have no problem waiting for rosters, as I have plenty of other stuff to do, lol, but you should at least understand where people are coming from.
As others have said, they were told that someone would have rosters done by release, then shortly after release were told rosters would be done "soon" or in a "week or two". Never did you just come out and say "hey guys, I'm not even done with the majors yet, let alone starting on the minors". I guess the point is, that while there are plenty of us out here who have no problem waiting however long it is going to take to get these done, you really shouldn't be so quick to snap judge someone who is just going off the limited info they have been given. Obviously there have been many computer glitches, etc that Rolen has talked about, but the fact is that until the betas started rolling out, none of these people had any reason to think that there weren't just a few teams waiting to be finished, small details needed to be done, etc.
If you had just said flat out "guys, we'll have rosters done sometime around september 1st when rosters expand", it would have saved you a lot of headaches, and shrunk this thread by about 40 pages. And then if you released it 2 months early, I don't think anyone would complain
But, there's no way to go back in time and correct things. So why don't you guys just get this thread closed, post a new one stating simply that you have a September 1st (or whatever) release date. Be as generous as you can, and then you don't need to worry about getting a bunch of complaints/questions about where the set is.
Or, another option would be to spend a fraction of the time you do creating all this stuff and make a step by step readme file, package it with all the stuff you currently have, and then send it out to people so they can finish it themselves.
Besides these, I basically think you're just encouraging these guys to keep bitching and moaning, since you aren't giving any other options, lol. Might have to start wondering if you truly enjoy complaining about this stuff
Remember, I don't really care how long it takes, and appreciate your work. But it is frustrating for those of us able to see both POVs to come here everyday for updates and only see a bunch of complaining and arguing, and even more ludicrous telling people to start their own sets, lol.
