AAA roster is a "little" light

dzanr · 06-23-2008, 10:36 AM

I just purchased OOTP9. It's my very first experience with the game. I tried establishing a quick game of the 2008 season managing the LA of A Angels. The initial MLB, AA, and A rosters the game built look complete and very accurate. But the AAA roster - the Salt Lake Bees - has only 3 players. There are few high profile players on the Angels AAA team in real life who are completely missing, and should certainly be there.

Is this right? I appears to me that 20-25 players are missing form the AAA roster. Even fictional players would be better. Obviously, 3 players do not a roster make.

Is it me or the game? I would appreciate any help or insight. Thanks.

this has been discussed in some other spots as well. I think a lot of it is no one has been promoted from the previous year. There does seem to be some people missing mainly really young prospects signed from other countries, however the short season teams are full of older players and last year's draft picks so they can be moved up to fill higher level rosters. Some of this is being addressed in the upcoming patch.

Hmmm. I checked all the teams' rosters for the 6-8 most prominent real life minor leaguers in the Angels' system. All of them are from the USA, some of them have already had a cup of coffee with the major league club and none of them are on any roster at any level.

Good. I plan on deleting the game, apply the soon-to-be-delivered patch, and then try establishing the game anew. I hope this will solve the problem.

FYI - the 9.0.27 patch took care of the problem. I reinstalled the game with the patch and regenerated the 2008 game. The AAA Salt Lake Bees now have a full roster. Yea!

Who were the players missing that you were talking about in the previous post. Haven't looked just interested

Off topic I know, but is your username from the cellist?

Nick Adenhart
Nick Green
Darren O'Day
Ryan Budde
Matthew Brown
Sean Rodriguez
Terry Evans

All these guys have already spent time with the MLB club and were totally missing from the entire Angels farm system. Then again only 3 guys were present - Willits, Quinlan and Morales. But as I mentioned, the entire roster is complete. now.

Thanks for the inquiry.

This is so frustrating.

I just applied the Updated Major League Roster set add-on. Since I was only one week into my 2008 replay, I decided to start all over after applying the update and get the improved rosters the add-on provided. But when I restarted, the Salt Lake Bees entire roster had returned to only 3 players!

This is ridiculous.

I even reapplied the 9.0.27 patch. No luck. The Bees still have only 3 players.

Does anyone know what I need to do to get the Bees a full roster of 25 players?

Update: most of the AAA rosters look wrong. Samples: The Colorado Springs Sky Fox have 23 pitchers and 2 position players. The Fresno Grizzlies have only 13 players. The Iowa Cubs have only 10 players.

I just opened up the game and started a 2008 MLB league and have the 9.0.27 patch. I installed the game after the 9.0.27 was already in the download.

AAA Salt Lake Bees are showing 23 players.
AAA Colorado Springs Sky Sox are showing 29 players...17 pitchers and 12 position.
AAA Fresno Grizzlies are showing 23 players.
AAA Iowa Cubs are showing 27 players.

It is something on your end and not the game, in general.

**edit**
Maybe uninstalling the game and re-installing the game might solve your problem.

This is wrong.

I have the old roster file (number two that came out with the mess with 40 manroster) which include full rostersettings for SaltLake Bees and Durham Bulls, Richmond Braves.

After getting the brand new roster file (nr 3 release yesterday I believe) these teams ARE low on players. The Bees have 3 players...

Perhaps the first one in the original package also had these empty rosters I don´t know. My concern then was to follow instruction to get 40 man roster and that might have solved the problem getting players to these clubs.

Howver this new roster have all game settings in order for the 40 man roster problem, but then it might so have the thin rosters.

Another back to the drawing board for the fine gang that make this roster, and hopefully we have a 90% perfect roster in time for the major patch realese in mid-July...

I´m sure there are ways to get around this problem like the last but a better funtional roster could be nice.

1. Uninstall game and make sure it is not in your Program Files or My Documents.
2. Download here
3. Apply your order id#

See if that works and you come up with a different roster for the Bees.

I downloaded game with recent patch included, that is the one in step 2 and I came up with a different roster set than what you guys are coming up with.

Yeah.....I don't think that was necessary. Maybe when you get your patch together and get on the right version, you can throw out an apology. And when you say you are on the right version right now, just look at your Bees, k.

I like to give this a try. Do we know that the link above includes the Updated 2008 Major League Roster add-on from earlier this week?

For anyone reading this thread and wondering if the issue described here is really a problem, I saw the following in another thread here => http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ml#post2528908

We're always trying to improve the MLB roster set. We're aware of an issue with the MLB rosters that causes the AI to move many of the AAA players out of AAA.

At least I know it's not just me.
