My new roster set

DodgerBaseball · 03-31-2003, 04:45 PM

I have created a roster set that I originally was just going to use for myself, but I decided to share it with everyone here. My set includes the following:

1. Roughly 3200 players.
2. All ball parks.
3. I even found a way to create the top 40 2003 amateur draft prospects (ie. Delmon Young, Lastings Milledge, etc.) so that when you hold your 2003 draft, these real players will all be there for you to pick.
4. photos for about 90% of the players and 38 of the 40 draftees have photos as well, and I even got alot of guys new to their teams in 2003, with their current teams uni's on.
5. 2003 opening day rosters
6. I have the accurate finances, and contract end dates for about 70% of the league and ALL the main stars.
7. a few other things.

What I would like though first off is 11 guys (already got one) to test these for me over the next 2 days and let me know what's missing, who I need to create, edit, etc. I will officially release this to the public on April 3rd or 4th. Depending on how many things my 12 testers ask me to change. Anyone interested, I will take the first 11 guys that respond here with their email addy's and I could use a hoster for the rosters, by the way the photopack is about 300mb, so be forewarned.

I also plan on keeping these rosters current and several times during the season, I will update them, with all current trades, etc. As well as all applicable minor league dealings involving players in the set and adding some minor leaguers to the set that are having great seasons.

On a side note, I didnt do this to try and show up GForce, as I said I began making these for myself several weeks ago. I'm just posting mine as hopefully something for people to use until GForce releases his much anticipated roster release. Heck, I'm looking forward to his release. And who knows, he and I could probably one day join forces and create one big "SUPER SET" maybe for the OOTP6 release, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

I would be very interested in testing your roster. My email address is roy.mortgage@attbi.com

dbacks · 03-31-2003, 05:08 PM

DB, did you get those pictures I sent you. Actually, what I did ws post the links in that thread you started a while ago. Just open the links, and save the picture to your HD.

dbacks · 03-31-2003, 05:10 PM

BTW, nice job. Haven't tested it, but sounds like you did a great deal of work on it. When I get around to it, I'll definitely try it out. Right now, I don't have muvh time for that, though.

I'm interested in testing your roster set for you. My email is kevinsharp23@aol.com. Thanks

CD1083 · 03-31-2003, 05:45 PM

I am also interested. My email is chase_davis@charter.net. Thank You

chinaski · 03-31-2003, 05:54 PM

ill test it out for you, im always down for running a 20 season sim while im sleeping

How big is the file? Im afraid it might be a bit large for email...?

DodgerBaseball · 03-31-2003, 06:00 PM

chinaski still looking for a host for the set and photopack. I still need 7 more people to help test. I will be emailing everyone as soon as I have a full group.

GForce22 · 03-31-2003, 06:10 PM

you must have worked non-stop to be able to do all those guys since release. Hell, I had the code ahead of time and it's taken this long.
Options are always good to have.

D, I will test it out for ya

DodgerBaseball · 03-31-2003, 06:27 PM

GForce-- yeah I worked like crazy to try and get it all together and have been waiting for several days just to setup the opening day rosters. Changed jobs so I had a 2 week time period to do nothing but sit here and watch Preseason games and make this set.

LivnLegend · 03-31-2003, 06:34 PM

great job DB, glad to hear about your dedication to put out a quality additon for OOTP5!

AsTrOFaN · 03-31-2003, 06:47 PM

I'd love to test it out, my email is AzNKiLLa215@yahoo.com (JerryChao@houston.rr.com if that one does not take it).

Will it send?..It seems like it would be kind of large.

DodgerBaseball · 03-31-2003, 06:49 PM

hey LivnLegend, you interested in testing these for me.

DB

LivnLegend · 03-31-2003, 06:59 PM

I lack the time to give the set the proper run for the money. Just wanted to show my support for your endeavor. Thanks for asking!

Now that I think of it, I think I responded to your request for lesser-known player photos a couple weeks ago. If they were for this mission, I am glad I located some for you

DodgerBaseball · 03-31-2003, 07:05 PM

yes it was a tremendous help, although I am still frantically searching all the minor league sites for teams today to get all the rest of the players for the set.

DB

LivnLegend · 03-31-2003, 07:16 PM

That gets tricky at times. Last year, while putting together my photo pack, I noticed many minor league web sites are slow to update player photos. Some are much better about it than others but it can be frustrating, especially the lower levels where you see Class A teams with very rudimentary web sites.

Dargone · 03-31-2003, 07:50 PM

Awesome job

twitty90 · 03-31-2003, 08:28 PM

I'd be interested in testing it as well.
