MLB '10 The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors v4 (Opening Day Only)

[DJ]

Played a couple of games with the roster set and really enjoyed it. Used Seattle against San Diego and won 6-4 in 10 innings. Struck out 11 times, but did manage 12 hits, all but one (a double) were singles. King Felix was solid, going 7 innings (110 pitches) and struck out 8 and allowed 3 runs.

Took these into Franchise, using the Rockies and won 9-1 in the opener against the Brewers. Milwaukee committed 3 errors, which really hurt them. Cargo went 3-for-3 with a double and triple, Tulo hit a nice opposite-field double and I finished with 10 hits and 8 strikeouts. Ubaldo was solid, went 7.2 innings (105 pitches), walked 3, struck out 6, allowed 4 hits and 1 run.

Definitely tougher to hit, but I like the challenge and pitching is a blast with the pitch edits.

Great work everyone!

The only thing I can see to possibly wait for is a "franchise" file where somebody
else fixes the rosters at end of Spring Training. I've played a number of
exhibition games with these new rosters and they are fantastic! The game
has been bumped up a notch in all aspects. It is harder but let's call it
more challenging.

So let me see if I have this right.

1. Start franchise with 30 team control
2. Sim to end of spring training
3. Go through all 30 teams fixing their 40 man rosters/lineups
4. Go to regular season and save. or do I save it at end of ST before going
regular season.

or...

Just play around until someone else does it for me.

Great job to all involved!

Reading the v3 thread was almost as much
fun as playing the game.

Thanks again,

bob

i think what can be interesting w/ v4.1 stamina re-edits is it will use Banzho's Roster Tools program to give attributes for stamina, as it was used for all the batting attributes that came w/ 4.0, also v4.1 could have any tweaks that we report after playtesting v4.0, and have more visual updates like equipment.

I just don't understand why the don't include accurate pitches in the official rosters.

someone at SCEA isn't putting effort to sit down and do what these guys have done. it's been like this for a few yrs, they don't address it while they boast how real and sim like their game is, and it is, but not in this area for sure. And maybe they leave the 4sfb in there to make it easier for people to get into the game, else if you're casual, you'd give up playing... seriously it was hard even at stock SCEA for a beginner to the MLB series... as in it took hours to be able to learn to get adequate in hitting, esp. if someone doesn't play baseball games (has no history in tracking a ball on a LCD) so a FB w/ movement would be even harder... as it is, this ain't Wii fit baseball.

Nevermind, I think we need a v4.1. David Price, averages 106.57 pitches per start, is completely drained at 92. And this is with the slider for starter stamina at 6 now.

that's pretty bad.. btw i've playtested v4.0 w/ starter stamina at 8, forget about 7, not that my verdict is out on it for 8. I just saw Josh Becket get pulled within the 5th inning... he pitched about 75 pitches (CPU)

Guys, how much do you think is related to stamina and how much is related to manager hook. If he gave up a couple of hits and his stamina is a quarter if the hook is at normal, the pitcher will be pulled

Jasnake do you have a certain slider set you're using with v4?
