Please post issues in the real roster sets here!

Still think Kyle Lohse is way off. He's the Brewers Opening Day starter and had a 1.1 WHIP the last few years, we have him rated as minor league fodder.

He's rated as a decent but generally mediocre backend starter, which is exactly what he is. That's PECOTA's doing, and I think it's right on.

It would seem that PECOTA doesn't rate him.

EDIT: Beaten by Lukas.

Some minor league stadiums need updating:

Richmond Flying Squirrels: listed as playing at Dodd Memorial Stadium. This is where they played when they were the Connecticut Defenders, they now play at RVA's The Diamond (former home of the Richmond Braves).
Winston-Salem Dash: Stadium should be named BB&T Ballpark (not to be confused with the one in Charlotte). Dimensions and capacity are off. Capacity should be 5500, center is way too far out (399 to CF according to Wiki), and the wall height is too short in center and MUCH too high in right (see this picture)
Nashville Sounds: Listed at Greer Stadium still, they open First Tennessee Park this spring (they also have a new logo not in the game).
El Paso Chihuahuas: Their stadium has no name, should be Southwest University Park. The dimensions and capacity are way off too. Should be 9500 seats, here is a link to the dimensions: El Paso Event Venue | Southwest University Park | Ballpark Details
Carolina Mudcats: Listed at Grainger Stadium, which was their park as the Kinston Indians. They moved in 2012 and play at Five County Stadium. The dimensions are also off for Five County, CF is way too far out.
Pensacola Blue Wahoos: Listed at Five County Stadium, which is where they played when they were the Carolina Mudcats. Now they play at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium.
Biloxi Shuckers: They now play at MGM Park, which is correct in the game, but it appears it's just a change in name only. The dimensions and capacity are still the same as the park in Huntsville, where they moved from. I know the stadium isn't built yet and I thought I heard they'd be playing some games in Huntsville, but the capacity and dimensions should be updated.

In general, I notice a lot of wrong dimensions at MiLB parks, particularly in CF. Usually it's at 420, farther than most MLB parks. The wall is often too high as well.

A few of these are errors that have been around for the last several years. I have posted some of these errors on the forum before, as have others. It would be great to have these fixed in the next patch and database, so in future years we won't have these issues!

Red Sox minor league system:

Blake Swihart, Deven Marrero, Brian Johnson, Edwin Escobar, Eduardo Rodriguez should all be in AAA Pawtucket (are currently on the AA Portland roster by default).

Trey Ball should be in A Greenville (currently on Low A Spinners roster by default).

They weren't that bad, didn't have the big issues Japan did, but I did do a bit of tweaking.

I'm guessing these will require a new save to take effect once the patch is released? is there a way to fix it within an actual save? or maybe a way to get a copy of the changes so that we can manually change them?

The AI is going to move them around based on their ratings. Nothing we can do about that

Well, there is actually. We can rate them at a given level and the ai will generally put them in the right place.

I've done some tweaking, but Howard and I will really get on that once we get the actual MiLB assignments.

Yeah, I can understand that.

Problem is we can't do this in the db. We can only do it in the master build of the game, which means Markus pretty much has to do it himself, or we have to lock the db and he send it to one of us, we re-do it and send it back.

In other words, it's a real pain in the butt to do and it's not super high on out list.

No, not really.

We're only talking a few guys here and that they're slightly overrated. Your savegame should be fine, it's really not a huge deal.

I see. It's just kind of annoying to go in and edit these every year. I'm a real stickler for these kind of details and I'm glad they're included in the game though.

Here's a question. Do field dimensions for minor league parks affect stats significantly? Or is that all from ballpark factors? I would think my minor league players' HR numbers would get supressed if EVERY park they play in is 420 to CF with a 20 foot wall. Plus XBH could go up, pitchers could be affected, etc.

No I know but I didn't know if you guys felt the need to tweak them

Will it possible to get the fix out soon if the next update won't be for a while? The *** is the main reason I've bought the game the last two years.

The dimensions are entirely cosmetic. The factors are what actually matters for gameplay.

I might be able to post the quickstart here in a day or two.

Well that's good at least. Are MiLB factors generally accurate to real life throughout the game, even when the dimensions are not?

I think they're accurate to real life as of a couple years ago.

[Mgomz]

Any chance to make MLB Rosters as of their are still as before Opening Day in QuickStart because right know their are at 25
In BIO on Person main screen show who Drafted them if they were Draft Pick Signee maybe?

[ScottM816]

Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Victor Sanchez passed away. He was swimming in Venezuela and was hit in the head by a passing boat, ended up going in to a coma, and passed away today. RIP Victor
