Currently I am doing full equipment edits to all players currently on big league rosters. I finished the Orioles last night, and only then did I realize how massive this job will be. I will be creating a separate thread if anyone wants to track my progress, and help!

I was attempting to do this but wasn't able to find much information, that could be because I was just looking for equipment edit threads on here. How are you planning on doing it? May be able to give you a hand

So last night when I redid the Baltimore Orioles I used a two headed attack. First, I started off with Getty Images for most recent home, road, day, and night pictures. If Getty was not giving me the looks I needed, I opened up my MLB TV app and replayed old games, and paused when I got the looks I needed. I am more than happy to work with others to get this out quicker (without sacrificing quality of course) to the OS Community! I will be creating a separate thread shortly so these talks can continue without filling up this thread. All the talk in this thread should be about how truly amazing the Hybrid Roster is!

Correct.

Same could be said for most of the Oriole Players. I completely understand this addition does nothing for most gamers, but I figured if by posting my work I make the game that much better for even one person, then sign me up!

As for the minor league players, not only do we have whatever equipment was done in OSFM v1.5, but maybe 500 or so players have been overwritten with new players and would have updated equipment in some cases as well.

The only major league equipment that we did was whatever Willard did to the Blue Jays and all of the detailed edits I input for the Phillies (h/t to PhilliesFan13). All the other teams had (if there even was a thread at all) was a melting pot of misc information, not a straight equipment edits thread. There was no time to sort through tens of irrelevant posts to get to 1 or 2 that had equipment in them, which is why the Phillies got the white-glove treatment. If there had been 30 teams with their own equipment thread with the quality and ease of access like the Phillies had, this roster would have totally up to date equipment. Nobody was willing to do the leg work, though, myself included.

I commend you! I started the same thing when OSFM 1.5 dropped and finished AL East, AL Central and then gave up lol. Took me about 1.5 hours to 2 hours per team. Now I just edit the team I face in my next franchise series.

And if I can add to this, what I do is save 2 slider sets (before someone asks again, no, I don't have any slider suggestions) whatever I like for games and then I change the SP STAM, RP STAM, and manager hook to optimize for the simmed games. I just load whichever set is appropriate for what I'm doing. It sounds like too much work, but I find that it gets natural to do and is extremely immersive to have such an accurate statistical context for your league. In other words, I believe it's well worth it.

WTNY, what you and Willard have given the OS Community is a true masterpiece. Let the OCD guys like me handle the tedious, cosmetic stuff that truly has no bearing on the game itself, and enjoy your work! As far as I am concerned, you and your team have out done yourself. I say each year Hybrid cannot get any better, and once again you have proved me wrong sir.

Sounds good. Could I request that the actual edits for your project be posted in your thread (ala the Phillies thread, but with spoilers perhaps) so that pre-existing franchises have the option of editing their rosters at some point? That way, when you're finished, people wouldn't have to re-start their franchise to get the benefit of having up-to-date edits in there, they'd just have to be willing to input the published edits on their own. I realize that up******/curating a list on the forum would add more work than simply entering it into the game and I would totally understand if that's not a direction you'd want to go in.
