Real World Rosters:: Read Inside.... - Page 2

June is a definite Jeff, but there will be at least 2 MLB only releases in the meantime. looking like Sunday and once Baseball America releases the 2007 OD rosters. But the June release is my baby. It will be the FINAL and MOST complete set

I refrained from working on a couple projects because of the promise of a real player file being available as the game releases...I just want as I put earlier "to be thrown a bone".

I will do my best to explain the status of the file...
It was imported from Lahman 5.4
SO it's sitting at 2006 OD rosters.
Every minor league player has been re rated on his 2006 stats.
those ratings were then imported into the game. When I got the file, it was still with the rosters at 2006 OD status. THat's why there's no immediate release. I am just about done with the NL right now. then I will have to do the AL. Plus I am awaiting ratings for Dice K and other new foreign born players to plug them in. I need to set team colors as well for all minor league teams. Then I would prefer to take a little bit extra time to input ratings and personal data for the 2006 draftees

redsox45 · 03-23-2007, 02:49 PM

Definitely wait till Sunday.

Why not have it 100% to start with. Erich has put a lot of time into the roster. A few more tweaks and changes won't hurt anyone.

Will

APujols5 · 03-23-2007, 02:50 PM

on that note, I am going back to work now on the transactions. I will be back in a few hours to answer more questions

Sig · 03-23-2007, 02:53 PM

Please Please Please release them today? At least as an initial set. You can always release any changes on Sunday right? Tonight's my only free night from family plans, so I was hoping to put in a few OOTP hours.

neojonas · 03-23-2007, 03:06 PM

With those added ratings and what not that you're planning on doing by Sunday I'd say it's well worth the wait. Looking forward to Sunday!

KySteveH · 03-23-2007, 03:07 PM

Wow, I would love to have these today, just to have something to play with, but I think I'm getting outvoted.

KCRoyalsFan · 03-23-2007, 03:29 PM

If you release them today that will be fine. I will probably just edit the Royals as I see fit and start a franchise. Then, once OD rosters are out, I will probably restart.

Claymore · 03-23-2007, 04:10 PM

My vote is for Sunday, get them done right. Thanks so much for the effort you are putting in!

mgom27 · 03-23-2007, 07:02 PM

I would release them Today so I can do a Expansion Draft with it and do the Drafted by Teams League for this years version.
Are you going tbe including up to date Players,Pitchers,Front Office and Personal meaning Staff Photo's?

PadresFan · 03-23-2007, 08:39 PM

Voting for Sunday...

DRaysGoRocco · 03-23-2007, 08:44 PM

I originally voted for today, but consider it changed until Sunday

If it's released today (which it's not gonna be) there'd be alot of things not really 100% up to date

APujols5 · 03-23-2007, 09:32 PM

OK, the vote is overwhelmingly in favor of a much more complete Beta file.

So here's the schedule...

I will continue to do alot of little cleanup things to the file and then release a beta on Sunday

Then I have also volunteered to do contracts and service times for Erich. I am going to try my very best to possibly have that done by Thursday, So Online Commish's I would suggest that being the absolute earliest file you use. That way there won't be the normal problems with the Rule 5 being F'ed up.

Then as soon as Baseball America puts out their 2007 full organizational OD rosters there will be the first official Release. Then after that It goes back to the June 1 target that I mentioned earlier today for a full package with feeder leagues with real draftees, US Indy leagues and some foreign leagues.

There are some things that any willing person could contribute too if you have the desire. Let me know if you are that kind of person

evanbarth · 03-23-2007, 10:15 PM

Thanks. These sets are great.

Can you quickly explain what the differences will be btw the OD roster and the 6/1 release, just so I know if its worth waiting.

Thanks again.

APujols5 · 03-23-2007, 10:27 PM

the OD set will be MLB and Minors only

6/1 will include trhe 6-7 US indy leagues the key foreign leagues as well as some nice additions to player history. There never has been a set yet to take full advantage of the player histories. and now we can import in previous stats like college and minor league.

KySteveH · 03-23-2007, 11:42 PM

Is there any way you could give an idea of how many players are in this set? For example, 125 players per organization is enough to fill the majors, plus the 4 full-season minor leagues. Surely you don't have that many players in each organization, because the ratings would take too long, right?

Just trying to get an idea of how deep we might be able to set up our leagues.

Also, you mentioned help...What kind of help could one provide, if one were so inclined?

APujols5 · 03-23-2007, 11:46 PM

every player that was on a 2006 Opening Day roster is currently in the game. Erich has been working on these ratings for months now.

As far as help, once all the players are in the game as of OD 2007, there will be a need for people to update stats and player histories. So it's gonna be working with text files and spreadsheets.

APujols5 · 03-24-2007, 01:30 AM

OK every transaction I could recall off the top of my head is now updated. Now I have to go through the minors again as i am sure there are some minor moves i missed
