Sorry if you guys don't want two threads about this, but I know not many people check the Mods forums anymore. If this is too redundant, feel free to delete the one in General Discussion and have my apologies!
Here's my newest release of my rosters! Included in these are up to date stats from our last season. All transactions (up to the Vidro deal, including most minor league deals as well), salaries, etc. are up to date.
Just a few notes:
- Minor leagues, outside of AAA, have not been done very much. While I realize this was a problem with the 2006 rosters, I now have 4-5 months to finish them rather than 7 days, so it should be easier this go around.
- Ratings are largely based on 2006 stats and nothing else. Thus, flukey seasons are going to see some players overrated too much. Players are going to be re-rated based on a projection system (whether it be Baseball Prospectus' PECOTA system, or another) so this should be fixed later. For now, I had nothing else to go off of.
- Prospects who are done, are a bit overrated for their potential stats, since once again, the ratings look too small for some players because they fall in line with the projected statistics in the editor screen. This will be fixed for the next release, but you might see some players down the line who take over. I haven't gotten a chance to test this much.
- I tried to include all of the manager facepacks, logo setups for the teams, etc. to make it look a bit better. Some of these are off as teams switched minor league teams around. Please let me know if you see some.
- For the setup, I have turned off creation of boxscores, logs, and auto-save. Turn this on if you want to use this. All other options are ON, so if you don't want waivers, 40 man, DFA's, etc. make sure to turn it off before hand.
Lastly, there was a big problem (well not big) but a wierd problem with the league totals where I had to drop the BB number WAY down (44) to get accurate results. I tested it through, but if it results in wierd numbers in the second year, we may have to find another solution.
For those interested, I am going to be diving into the minors now, starting in reverse order (rookie ball to AAA). I'd like to give the majors and AAA a little more time to shake out with the new Lahman database not out yet, PECOTA not out yet, and a bunch of signings still to take place. Hopefully we have a good start here though for you guys to play around with until I can get something more concrete out!
Oh also, no one has hometowns set yet! I'm doing this player-by-player as I create them in the minors, and will go back and hit the majors later. A more cosmetic thing IMO that doesn't need to be done quite yet.
Enjoy.
