Excellent depends on what you consider excellent. Real to life. Very much so. I actually bumped up Puig a bit more from the first change we made last night.

The thing I love about this roster is not only the in depth editing, but the fact that this roster basically takes multiple people's works to create one masterpiece. The beauty of it all really is at the end of the day, you have the power to put the finishing edits to YOUR liking before starting your franchise. Just never understood the complaining or skepticism. Anyways, keep truckin guys the light at the end of the tunnel is near. NP

Well said and thank you. Now where the hell was your help this year......lol

I would guess well over 200 changes yesterday

To be honest I haven't check your roster yet, I'm just trying to think of guys who have outperformed their SCEA ratings to this point in the season IRL. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I know both of them crossed my search of updates yesterday, both ate currently on pace with original projections. Pollack did get a defensive upgrade

Thanks Willard... Great to hear on everything.

Can't wait for these rosters!

Any idea on what other versions will be done yet?

sweet, I thought the first ofsm minors rosters were solid already, i will take a look at what you made here...just want to say stuff like this is why I always drop in to operationsports.com, I loved what mkharsh and his team did to create the ncaa hoops classics teams for nba2k14 on xbox360 as well, those are sweet too....this is my first year with the show, because I only have owned xbox, and xbox 360...but so far I really like it...I miss the pitching mechanics from mlb2k12 and that series...but for the show I use pure analog hitting and metered pitching and I am having a good time with it now....I hated pulse pitching, and havent really tried zone hitting but analog feels like a swing to me because you load up right as the pitcher lets go then swing through the ball, and you can check swing or switch to a bunt or drag bunt easily with the stick...I am not a big fan of the baserunning mechanics for franchise. I love the road to the show baserunnning, but for franchise...I seem to make a lot of baserunning mistakes so still working on it..I turned guess pitching off for now...and took off the meter for defensive throwing...I might put that back on for defensive throwing in the future if it gets too easy but right now the games are competitive and that is what I like, I made lots of defensive errors with the throwing meter so for now I turned it off...anyways just have to say I invested in my first sony console since the genesis...and I am a happy camper, I bought it as soon as I saw the build of rbi14...a very basic baseball mingame...that didnt do anything to get me to by an xbox one....so looks like I will be a sony gamer for this generation...

Great news is waittilnextyear sent me a great PM detailing stats and such from tests he ran overnight and we got numbers more where we want them. I haven't had a chance to completely dive into them but what I saw was very good and with what I am going to tweak tonight we should be as close as we can get. Willard

to be clear though...there will be a V2 release tonight correct?

This will be it for me for a while, this has been full time work for 2 months, time to actually play the game, and get stuff done around the house.

Do you think this also means the draftees and prospects as they develop will be not as likely to be "too good" for the roster?

I realize it can't be helped, but perhaps the complete edits have alleviated the possibilities some.

[nola2728]

So for V.2 are all pitch edits entered for all pitchers jeezy had listed or were some left out?

your team members should apply to work at gaming companies...I know that 2kgames is hiring a ton of new people for their company....they post on the nba2k twitter a lot of openings within the last 2 weeks...I am sure ea, 2k, sony, and other companies would love to bring you guys in, even if its just as a seasonal consultant for baseball....god bless....and let's play two the weather is good today

If anyone likes text based simulation fantasy baseball, sometimes we have teams open at http://www.nblbaseball.info we used the diamond mind baseball software...
