Great news as I release these, first off I'm finding very little reason to change creation modifiers. The guys I'm seeing in the draft pools are fit to the league's rating scale. This might need a few minor tweaks but I don't think it's the big problem we were envisioning it being with these players overcoming the talent with better ratings as their ratings aren't any better than the prospects in the league already or the MLB players current talent. One thing I might look at is development modifiers as they seem to progress too quickly but this is for another day. Secondly, the All-Star game issue is fixed. Thirdly, I'm seeing a lot more intelligent AI with this release. Hopefully when everything is finished, the league will operately completely normally. There is a few AA guys that are overrated that throw things off a bit.
With this release you're getting full MLB and AAA rated players and levels correct. The next release I'm planning is going to be a quick one with all the levels correct (but no re-ratings done to AA, A, etc.) as well as correct historic team leaderboards.
After that, I'll be going for the homerun ball and hitting AA, A, SS in one fell swoop. I don't think this is going to take as long as I'm not re-rating everyone.
Also, a lot of the short season rosters are up, so I'll be adding those players in (if they weren't in the '06 draft) so we can fill those out without any fictional players anywhere.
Enjoy. You can post thoughts, questions, etc. in here.

NOTES: I've set all teams to computer managed. They will make moves now. If you want to change this, so that you can just see stats without AA players mucking up things, you can change it in the league setup page. Also, jbarwick's facepack is included, I'll be uploading a trimmed down version later (this one is about 45 MB)
BIG NOTE: This game frusterates me to no end sometimes. I had to add a human manager and delete a human manager. However the database still shows 2. This makes me want to light myself on fire. Before starting a game, I suggest you delete the humanmanager.dat (I think that's what it's called) file and then start up the game and create yourself so there's just one manager in the database. If you delete this dat file but don't create anyone the game won't work, just a heads up.
ENJOY!
