Potentials do have the ability to change also so we need to be mindful of that

How are the sim stats looking now? Better AVG's and higher HR's & RBI's?

I couldnt find anywhere else to post this, so here i go. Can anyone tell me the contact info Id need for asking the developers a question about live rosters? If not, heres my question if anyone here can answer it for me. Is there a way to go back and download a previous live roster if you happened to miss one?

I am being mindful of that and sorry for harping on it but in my experience while those guys are playing 50-60 rated minor leaguers they get the boost to potential emails a lot and you hardly ever get them for someone in the majors so IMO they should start out with lower potentials and gain the boost when they earn it I think that is the system they are going for. Again its not a big deal its just something I have thought about and always wondered about and been testing over the years and it seems consistent.

I may be wrong here, but in my experience with franchise in the Show it seems like minor league players get potential buffs and nerfs more frequently. Its either the fact that they are in the minors or their ratings aren't high so theres more room for fluctuation, that I'm not sure of. It seems like they also go up and down based on streaks rather than prolonged stats like MLB players do. I've had guys in the MLB get boosts in potential but definitely not as often.

An example was Wily Peralta last year in my Brewers franchise. I believe his potential went up probably to around 85 after his 1st 20 starts because he was lights out. However minor league guys seem to go up or down based on the stats of a month or so.

In my opinion this is how it should be, a guy can fluctuate in the minors, but once he's gotten to the show he kind of stays true to his potential. It's pretty realistic because most guys that get to the majors are who they were when they got called up for most of their career, unless they completely fall apart or just blow up and go off.

Not sure if I'm the only one that's noticed this but its been true in every year I've played the show in my experience.

You are correct I believe you get four emails or eight maybe, sorry if I am wrong for your minor leaguers at the end of every month that has not changed I am positive of that. What I am saying is that sometimes I simulate 5 or 6 years ahead to play with the young guys trained up and when there are that many guys with those high potentials they dominate my franchise because they rarely do bad in the minors so always get the potential boost and are already at 96 potential so I end up with 20 guys rated 96-99 at age 24-25 and these experienced guys like arenado zunino and wacha have no shot at competing with them.

As previously mentioned, I've started a new thread for my Opening Day backdating project of this Hybrid v2 Roster set.

Don't want to clog up Willard's thread with comments to the OD set so here's the link: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ng-day-v1.html

I'll start the backdating as soon as v2 with the Pitch Edits is released. No ETA as of yet but I hope to have a better picture and timeframe of the backdating once I've seen the latest copy of the roster.
