No Rosters? ... Let's Get to Work.

OOTP is meant to be a fictional game, and people spend more time on the message boards bitching and whining than they do actually playing the game, and it's stupid.

I personally have a lot of fun making my own logos and uniforms and I have been playing a fictional 16 team league for a very long time and it's enjoyable.

Real rosters are never going to be real when you talk about prospects because who really ever knows who's going to be a star in the MLB? Remember a few years ago when everyone was begging for Hank Blalock to be rated super high in Rolen's set? Now look at him (real life). There is nothing wrong with Airmen's rosters (or whatever his name is, sorry). So for the time being, will you whiny, OOTP noobs just shut the hell up and use those rosters? They work fine for me. You all really need to lay off Rolen and Cubby because I guarantee 95% of you wouldn't get past the first team if you made your own rosters.

Oh and by the way, if I were Cubby I would charge for the rosters - that way you know who is loyal and you get paid for your work. People who sit here and crush Rolen for not getting the rosters done are going to willingly download his rosters for free once they are out, and same for Cubby.

So shut the f*** up, play with the rosters you've got and be happy...or simply take your own time to make your own rosters and quit frustrating the people who are doing all for free.

Thats all I wanted to say.

You know what? This type of post irritates me just as much the others....Is there really anything new to add here?....Man is this whole topic worn out.....

The post you just made is in itself only adding to the "worn out" conversation you just bashed and thus is contradicting the point you were originally trying to make.

I'm sorry, I'm not making a judgment either way here. As far as I'm concerned, this is a public forum and everyone has a right to express their opinions (within the guidelines, of course.)

I just didn't want my post to get buried as I'm still hoping for a few more volunteers to help me out with this project.

So here, again, is my post...

I've been working on some companion info for this roster set. It's not really a big deal as far as playability is concerned, but I think it'll add a little something. However, instead of saying what it is, I figure I'll just let you discover it once you download the rosters (kinda like when Markus slips that little pleasant surprise into a patch that no one's expecting )

Unfortunately, I only began this project a few days ago and, as you know, the set is almost complete. Therefore, I'm a bit behind if I'm gonna get this thing done by the time the set is released.

Sooooo....

If anyone has a little free time this weekend and/or this coming week and would like to be involved in this project, let me know. I'll only need about 3 or 4 people who can devote a total of maybe 10 hours of work each. It's just basic look-up/data-entry stuff, so we're more or less talking grunt work here. (But hey, when you're playing with this roster set in a few weeks, perhaps you'll get an added sense of satisfaction knowing you made a contribution! )

Anyone that's interested, please PRIVATE MESSAGE me on here and I'll let you know the specifics. Thanks!

And this thread is slowly sinking into yelling at one another.

I wasn't yelling at anyone...I was just speaking my mind because I think a lot of people are rude to the people who are busting their butts. If people can't handle someone else's point of view then stay off the boards.

You are sounding like the "noob" here. I have every right to be upset with what is happening with Rolen's set. If you actually took time to read the thread that I started, you would see I spent nearly 2 full weeks editing rosters in excel to have the file just sit idle for the last 2 and a half months. So don't jump down my throat because you did not read the entire story.

Pfft. Nobody cares about your point of view.

Go away.

I wasn't "jumping down your throat" at all. I was actually backing people such as you up in the situation. I was talking about the people who are bashing the project as a whole, people who have only recently registered on the boards. But whatever.

Thanks, and you are absolutely right - this is juvenile and I now know that many people in the forums here are too immature to handle criticism.

So, Hypothetically...If I said I was a Yankees fan...or a Braves fan...and starting causing trouble. Would it be that easy to get ratings tanked?

Anyways, looking forward to the set.

Edited for not following company guidelines. First warning.

Quoting warned post is also a warnable offense. Do not do so in the future. Thanks.- Admin.

Last post from eric was from 5/28. Which is 3 weeks or so. Not exactly 2 and a half months. But whatever.

I'm a Royals fan.


So I guess I can pretty much be as obnoxious on the boards as I want.
