Roster set issues (2025 MLB / MiLB / KBO / World Baseball Classic / Honkbal / Indy / NBL) go here

[bthom]

Jackson Jobe's current stamina rating (as of just installing the game ~30 minutes ago) is set at 35. I'm assuming this is because he was used as a reliever in his short time in the majors + playoffs last season. He's been a primary starter through his entire time in the minors, and the low stamina is bringing down his rating + prospect rating. I do believe his 55 potential movement is slightly low (with how highly its been touted), but he is having a harder time with his K rate this spring training. Skubal's stuff feels a tiny touch too low, but I'm not 100% sure how it sims out yet.

Counter example for Jobe's low stamina is Clay Holmes, who has been a career reliever (though now is transitioning to starter) is sitting at a 55 stamina.

Quickly glancing at the rest of the Tigers farm, they seem fine, though most scouting lists do seem a bit higher on Jaden Hamm and Josue Briceno than 26 right now.

Looking through the KBO rosters, I don't see Yasiel Puig on the Kiwoom Heroes. I actually don't see him in the game when I search his name. Is it safe to say the KBO rosters aren't accurate?

Foreign player names are scrambled.

Jobe having a 59 stamina was not intentional, it was a typo (should have been 95). Fixed now.

Fixed, thanks.

Compared to the consensus in real life of being a bottom five system, the Angels start out as the No. 11 system.

Toronto at 10th doesn't seem right either.

Seattle and Detroit both seem heavily underrated in terms of farm system rankings at 14th and 15th. Miami too at 18th.

Jackson Jobe as the No. 218 prospect stands out in Detroit. Thayron Liranzo too.
Noble Meyer, Andrew Salas, Agustin Ramirez, and Head from Miami all could use a closer look.

The OOTP farm rankings are a lot more simplistic than the real life ones, it basically takes the top 5 or top 10 prospects per team that are in the top 100 (or maybe top 200, I forget exactly), counts their rankings up and then ranks the farms. So these will never really match real-life even when the prospects themselves are accurately rated. I would love it if we could update the rankings to something a little dynamic in the future.

For any prospect related analysis, you also want to make sure to turn off scouting (and then turn the prospect list to dynamic and regenerate it), as this can hugely change the rankings from what they 'really' are. What you're showing above re Jobe and the other guys above is because you have scouting on, looks like. With scouting turned off he's the 16th ranked prospect in baseball (even with the stamina typo). Liranzo is 74th.

As mentioned in the first part of the thread, we're still working through some of the position changes and thing like that leading up to OD. Anyway, gave Keith ability at 1B now.

Trying to give him a clearer path, it seems. He should have some type of ability there imo.

Also, would think with 45 SB last season his ratings would be a little bit higher in terms of speed and baserunning.

Boosted his speed and gave him OF ability.

Both had too much MLB service time last year to be eligible according to the cutoff we use. They may be rookie eligible, not sure, but are not prospect list eligible.

As requested, here are a few screenshots of players with 1 ratings in multiple categories. This is from a MLB Standard start, 100% scout accuracy, 1-100 ratings scale.

whoops, forgot to attach. here they are.

and 2 more

Thanks, will fix these up.

Italy: Sal Frelick

Mexico: Taijuan Walker, Austin Barnes, Rowdy Tellez, Alan Trejo, Alek Thomas

Colombia: Elias Diaz

Great Britain: Ian Gibaut

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but Andruw Jones's #25 was retired for the Braves in 2023 and is not retired in OOTP 25 or 26.

One thing from the Blue Jays on an offseason start - Jordan Romano is still on the team following arbitration when he was non-tendered IRL. Also, Ricky Tiedemann, Alek Manoah and Daulton Varsho are all listed as healthy when they had surgery towards the end of the 2024 season and are expected to miss the start of the 2025 season.

The injuries are not fully updated in the offseason start. It's very difficult for us to do this retroactively because of how our database is set up. We can think it over and see if it might be possible to hack something in, but I think it will be tough...

Yeah, retired numbers are still on the to-do list. I should add that to the first post...

I’m not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but none of the others seemed to fit:
I attached screenshots of my draft pool and draft combine lists. Lots of outstanding players that appear to be fictional are on the combine list that are not in the draft pool. Why is this, future draft classes? I’m playing with 100% scouting accuracy.
