MLB 11 The Show Rosters - Operation Sports Full Minors (Opening Day Set)

[knich]

I have used Hustlin's 25 man set and then after I start season I gradually add men back to 40 man roster as injuries occur and need to bring someone up. I have not noticed the problems with the lineups doing it this way. But most posts suggest that I need to put the guys taken off the 40 man roster back on the 40 man roster immediately after you start the new season. Can someone explain why this is necessary or is it just to mimic realism by having the original 40 man roster on opening day?

I think it's necessary to do before the Rule-4 Draft or something like otherwise it'll mess up again. Someone else knows this for sure, I just recall seeing that before.

A few great primers on the subject:

For Show purposes trades, rule 5 eligibility, options, and contract eligibility (down the road) are the biggest items - The Show doesn't have a fine tuned financial system as the real MLB or sports simulators.

In RTTS I keep seeing pitchers with a fastball in the 90's but all their slow stuff will be in the 70's. I faced one guy who had a change-up 20MPH slower than his fastball. Is this supposed to be this way? I am pretty sure that someone with a 20MPH difference with his FB/change would instantly be the best pitcher in all of MLB if he had any control.

ok, are the only guys off HustlinOwl's 25 man roster are the injured players?
