Then he will post it so that we can download the file, pick the team we want, and start our franchise without having to manually send all minor leaguers down to their proper teams. If you don't do this players like Carlos Santana on the Indians end up on the major league roster after you sim through spring training and the lineups get all messed up. (Anyone can correct me if I am wrong on this) Thanks Owl!

Time for my potentially dumb question. I don't play Franchise mode. I play Season mode with the Blue Jays. One 162 game season at a time.

Is this roster issue going to impact me as well?

If so, can I grab the revised version of the roster from Hustlin Owl and apply it to my season to avoid the Spring Training issue. Also do I need to use 30 team control going forward to avoid the other teams making wacky moves?

Thanks in advance...

Can we get more feedback on the stamina issue? How is it playing out with the relievers?

I have both pitcher stamina sliders at 10 and most pitchers still get gassed too quickly

Alot of relievers are gassed as soon as they enter the game. Even with the stamina slider at 10. The V3 rosters screwed up pitching in the game.

I would say that, due to the pitching stamina edits in v3, v2.1 would be the best to start a franchise with.

Guys, on the stamina thing...

The formula works extremely well for simulated results. Meaning any games you do not play will closer mimic the real deal than SCEAs base ratings. Your top tier pitchers will all still be at or above 200 IP and, more importantly, you won't see relievers with ridiculously high IP and appearances as much.

For in-game, bump the CPU stamina sliders up to anywhere in the 7-10 range (preferences vary...I think I use mine at 7 or 8) and LOWER the manager hook around the same (though 3-4 might be best. 1 or 2 might be too low...again though, preferences vary). This will allow CPU starters to go longer, but the relievers will still be used more realistically. Managers will not pull out starters after 70-80 pitches and it will be more bases on performance.

That's the main benefit. If you notice (and I'm guessing, based on what I know about Rods ideas) there are several relievers likely at 0 for stamina. These are guys who are either specialists (L/R, for example) or guys who see little action. The edits also eliminate the 3-4 inning relief appearances that can crop up from time to time. This will also (due to less appearances) take care of the many relievers who get used so much by the AI that they end up with 8-12 wins out of the pen consistently.

For users, you don't really need to edit sliders. The lowered ratings will still allow deep starts and complete games, but the final innings will just be more of a challenge. If it's too much for you, incrementally up the starter stamina by 1 until it seems more manageable. I'd give it a few games though, as once you get it down, it really is hard to go back.

Note that while editing starter stamina might be a good idea, you should probably leave reliever stamina alone (or at least don't raise it). Again, the relievers are the ones who benefit the most from these edits.

Thanks for this post. Good insight and i too thought it would benefit the relievers tremendously. Was very tired of relievers seemingly being able to pitch forever anyhow.

Cause people would rather complain and make demands then fix it themselves
