Halofan roster set is updated - Page 5

John Manard · 03-11-2005, 06:22 AM

Halofan,

Ive been using your roster set for a while now. My online league has been through two seasons with the next to final 2004 pack. I recently used Dave Williams Orgin generator to create cities for the created players in the game and it led to a huge problem. Wanted to let you know about it. You use commas in the orgins of your pack. And since many of the programs out there pull from the CSV's that can lead to a problem with the comma you are using between city and state. I had to go back into my file and redo arm ratings for most of the league. This is not your fault obviously just pointing out something that you might want to change down the line. I know thats a lot of work beleive me. But just wanted to point it out.

you said it, alot of work, and i really dont have time to remove all of the commas, so if anyone wants to take that project on, feel free lol

halofan26 · 03-12-2005, 12:10 AM

The release of my new set has been put off until tomorrow evening.

Halofan I know the 40 or 25 man rosters can't easily be adjusted yet because its still spring training and too early to call. However, will the opening day set have the actual 40 and 25 man rosters?

toadfreak7 · 03-16-2005, 02:15 PM

My next Ortonman Rosters will have accurate 25 and 40 man rosters. Due out April 10th.

Yes, at that point, they will be correct

halofan26 · 03-23-2005, 04:12 PM

Just a note to everyone that the next update will be shortly before opening day and will contain 25 and 40 man rosters (and other things that would take a while to mention

)

sahyder1 · 03-29-2005, 10:21 PM

any plans of having the 2005 schedule incorporated in this? If not....does anyone else have the 2005 schedule done so it can be added to this?

Thanks.

halofan26 · 03-30-2005, 12:37 AM

yes that was mentioned in an earlier post/thread. i will have the 2005 schedule for my opening day set

speedy · 03-30-2005, 11:40 AM

Hopefully this wasn't already asked. If it was, please forgive me.

Any idea when the opening day rosters will be available?

I'll take a wild guess and say Opening Day.....it'd only make sense since it could be up to the minute.

As for the other thing.....thanks halofan....I guess I missed it.

halofan26 · 03-30-2005, 02:43 PM

actually im hoping to get it BEFORE opening day as soon as i get confirmation of players making teams that are questions marks, but yes there is a good chance it may be on opening day, but there is a slight chance i get it out shortly before

sahyder1 · 03-30-2005, 04:01 PM

I think you're missing Gusatavo Chacin (LHP for the Jays) on the set. If you could add him it'd be great.....Thanks.

halofan26 · 03-30-2005, 08:18 PM

yep the recent set was missing him, but its not now

two thumbs up

I noticed Boston's Adam Stern isn't in the roster set.

Also 2 quick thoughts on Boston...

I know Johnny Damon has a weak arm, but a 1 is a little bit silly...

Their top 2 prospects, Hanley Ramirez and Jon Lester seem to be very underrated. Lester is a very highly touted lefty pitcher, and Ramirez was the reason they weren't worried about getting rid of Nomar, and almost didn't sign Renteria.

I've been playing with the rosters tho... and I look forward to DLing the opening day rosters... thanks for the work you do

halofan26 · 04-03-2005, 12:46 PM

Damon was fixed.....not exactly sure what happened there

As for Lester, he was one of the players that hadnt been adjusted yet to include last season. he was fixed about 2 weeks ago. When it concerns Ramirez, these ratings are done off stats. I input the stats and those are the ratings you see in the game. I have heard so many different opinions when it concerns him. I have hear he is Barry Bonds at SS, I have heard that he is comparable to Renteria. He may have the glove and the speed and playing in Boston, i would bet money that he would have 45-55 XBH, but i dont see him developing much power (ala the comparison to Bonds) and i dont think he will be as good defensively as Renteria (range wise and possibly hands). In my opinion he is a 3-3.5 star player as of right now. Keep in mind that this may change after this season and following seasons.

jbmagic · 04-03-2005, 02:24 PM

is updated roster coming out today?

its opening day today

Derek4jc · 04-03-2005, 03:11 PM

alright... that's cool, thanks for responding! Is Stern added tho?

Edit: As far as Ramirez's fielding goes.. in a spring training game... he leaped, ripped one outta the air that no one thought he was getting and turned a triple play.. hopefully his numbers in Portland this year will warrant an upgrade for later on or something

yes it will most likely be released tonight or early tomorrow morning, im REALLY digging and trying to get some of these stats the way i want them

Stern was added about 4-5 days ago when i was told that Stern was going to be placed on the DL

When it comes to Ramirez, each season ratings in the game are adjusted so there is a chance that he will be upgraded, but keep in mind, no matter what a player does in a single season, that doesnt make him the player he is in my set (ex. Adrian Beltre pffft)
