Hey guys,

ok, here's the deal.

Rolen has been slowed down by schoolwork and, more importantly, his new daughter, which I think we can all agree is more important. This isn't so big a deal, as we couldn't really move ahead until I had everybody rated for the "performance stats" (to use a High Heat term). I have also been slowed a little bit by work and the attention I need to pay to my pending wedding and house purchase, not to mention my fiance.

The good news: I have only 4 teams left to enter stats for. I have R/L splits for virtually all major leaguers and a large majority of AAA players. So the info gathering is almost complete as is the data entry as it pertains to these figures.
I have updated transactions to opening day, though I haven't fixed guys to the appropriate levels and lineups yet. The remaining stuff that needs entering are:
Birthdays
Uniform #'s for ML guys
Intangible ratings (loyalty, etc.)
Steal, bunt ratings
Minor ratings tweaking
Award histories (quick job...will include Cy Young, MVP, Rookie of The Year...maybe more eventually)
Pitch types (I have these in a separate spreadsheet I just need to merge it)

The bad news: For simplicity purposes, we have entered everything into spreadsheet format to import via Pierre's editor, since he said that feature would be included this year. I have NO idea when Pierre will release his editor and, basically, we can't import our data without it.

My tentative (hopeful) date of the 15th is not going to be hit, though I still anticipate it being this month. There are just a lot of variables, some in our control, some not. We're close, but to get it the way we will really be PROUD to release it, we need probably 2 weeks. I'd love to say April 22, but it depends on Pierre's editor. That's kind of unfair to him, but it's the situation. Because of how cumbersome oOTP's in-game editor is, entering 3,500 guys (that's roughly how many will be in the set) would take us until June.

I will continue to keep everyone posted as much as I know. I have an e-mail in to Pierre, so when he gets back to me, I'll let everyone know.

Take care and thanks for the interest and support. I PROMISE you we will make this worth your wait.
