Remember, though, Kris Bryant won't exist in the game until the roster update after he gets called up. You'll have to create him, CJ Edwards, Addison Russell, Kyle Schwarber, etc to get them in your minor leagues for future seasons of your franchise. (at least that is what I'm going to do, maybe we'll get lucky and "Schwarber", "Almora", and "Vogelbach" will be in the last name audio database this year)

Sure, if you want to wait for for them! I've never used an OSFM roster, how soon after the game releases do they start rolling out?

They're usually out about a month after release and they are totally worth waiting for. I usually just play some road to the show and exhibition games while waiting to regain my timing on the game so that once I start my franchise I'm ready to go.

How are they gonna handle the minor league affiliation changes from the show 14 to 15, involving the year to year saves? I'm interested about how its gonna work

After the offseason the White Sox had, I am so glad I never started an offline franchise last season.

It was definitely a crazy winter, the old saying there is no offseason in baseball was as true as ever this past winter. Both Padres and White Sox's really revamped, and on paper look to be postseason contenders.

Im a Reds fan, so nothing really to exciting as far as new players to play with on the roster, and according to all the projections were going to suck. And while I know some Reds fans are to happy about those projections, Im actually glad know one is expecting much this yr, these guys seem to do better when the spotlight isn't on them. I forget who said it on MLB network, I think it was Ron Darling, but he said the Reds might be the most dangerous team that know one expects anything from this year, and I have to agree Injuries killed us last season, cause we don't have any depth, but if this team manages to stay healthy this yr, they can be very good. I think Cubs fans are jumping the gun, but being the joke of baseball, and now having a legit Ace along with a proven manager, to go with a lot of talented prospects I can see why they have some hope, and thye wont no longer be a team you can see on the schedule and say at worst we will win 2 of 3 anymore. They should be better than normal, but I think they will be at home watching the postseason like normal once again, but in 1 yr or so they will be contending for the division unfortunately.

All the offseason moves arent going to make me start over....instead, what is going to make me start over is the change of minor league affiliates. Since nothing has been confirmed that they will change over on a y2y save I am assuming that u would keep ur old affiliate. I have one with my Giants and they moved their AAA affiliate from Fresno to Sac-Town so that will be the main reason why I start over. I am still playing it now tho just in case there is a miracle. Plus there's really nothing else to play
